The Red W

Hahaha!!

Tonal dubyas would look cool too though, to match the thread color on shirts.

@Oaktavia yeah would look nice

I happened upon this last night.
This person apparently likes it enough to sew their own W onto another brands jacket.
Unsurprisingly they got dragged in the comments....

Arsehole. The fucking irony......

[Mizmazzle]

I enjoyed that dudes public shamming way too much haha

[Matt]

That shaming was unanimous too. Skulls aren’t hard to stitch homeboy. And everyone likes skulls.

[AdamJ]

Amazing, a unanimous nope. I wonder what he thought the reaction was going to be

To throw in my 2 cents, I love the W for a pop of colour, and am not opposed to mixing things up by slapping it on a shirt or two (in fact a lone W sans the IH tag would be greatly appreciated, so I can still support y'all without friends asking me why I only ever wear one brand of clothing...) but I do think the double branding throughout SS24 is a little clunky.

That said, still plan on grabbing the yellow 4oz, need more lightweight shirts in my closet.

@Alex what about shirts that are in continuous production? Will you be adding the red W to those as well?

[Alex]

I wouldn’t have thought so, we tend to not change designs of core items when they are tried and tested. We’ve got FW24 packed up on the way to Berlin as I type, but I haven’t had a chance to look at the goods yet so I’m not sure if Haraki has continued it for FW24

@Alex When are you planning on revealing the FW24 collection?

[Alex]

The same sort of time as every year…

[cityofdelusion]

For anyone else wondering: I checked the YouTube Live videos from when the previous collections were revealed. FW 2022 was in July and FW 2023 was in June.

Hey @Alex I was wondering...I know there is a bit of a debate over the addition of the red W going on. I was wondering, would IHUK ever consider offering the service of removing the "Iron Heart" tag for customers before shipping out? Obviously no returns on an item like this. Just thought perhaps this could help those who are a bit averse to the double branding.

I (almost) always remove the leather patches on my IH pants and it's super easy to do so without leaving any residues or marks. A seam ripper is the best and cheapest choice of tool for this and speeds up the process by far, but it can even be done with a pocket knife, if you're careful and patient enough. That said, whilst I've never removed any other type of tag, I'm very confident that removing the few little stitches from the tags of shirts and etc. would be very easy and quick to do.

@cityofdelusion said in The Red W:

Why, I don't get it? I love them, regularly oil them. But it wouldn't be IH if we couldn't all do it differently.

[cityofdelusion]

@endo I also like them a lot and use them as coasters once I remove them or recycle them in different ways. It's just my personal preference to not have them on my pants, but I also have some (imo) good personal reasons why I enjoy my pants more when I remove them.

Btw. my comment above wasn't meant to be a plead to remove tags from the products or anything, but instead to share my experience and highlight how easy it is to remove tags if one doesn't find them useful or whatever other reason one may have to remove them.
