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

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

      The devil is in the detail..

        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?

              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? 😶

                    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.

                      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                        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.

                          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.

                            @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.

                              I'm sure it goes without saying to anyone who has had the most cursory look, but don't just take a seam ripper to the shirt tags. Those stitches are integral to the structure of the shirt rather than exclusive to the tag. Removing those tags is a more delicate operation.

                              I have to say I don't remove IH branding without a twinge of guilt, and of course it can impact on potential resalability. For me it's partly that spending IH money on a shirt just isn't politic, socially or domestically, in my circles. I believe the gear, and the pleasure and fun of long-term ownership, is worth the coin, but I'm pretty keen to avoid that conversation with others. And I am concious of the irony implicit in the concept of high-end workwear.

                                The seam ripper isn't just there to rip seams. Perhaps the following comment of a forum member that I cited below who once replied to the question of how one would remove the tags on shirts explains this better:

                                @browniemcghee said in IHSH-288-IND - 14oz Kersey Work Shirt - Indigo:

                                I didn’t actually tear the seams holding the label, but the seam ripper is useful for pulling bits of label loose.  Hopefully that makes sense.

                                This explanation was on my mind when I wrote my comment above suggesting using a seam ripper for this kind of job. I do see in hindsight that I should've clarified/added this idea in my original comment though.

                                  No worries, just highlighting for any bold home-modders that it's a slightly riskier, trickier job. One I've done many times without incident though - as you say, just got to be careful and patient.

                                  I do understand that the whole thing will have many here scratching their heads 🙂

                                    @cityofdelusion reading my above comment now, I'm afraid it may sound a bit harsh. I just wanted to say that I don't understand, but I really think it's ok to wear our IH stuff the way we want it. I personally alter a lot of my stuff, sew things on, take others of, change fits and overdye. Just enjoy it the way you like it. If IH does anything, IMO it doesn't give a style, it allows you (to develop or) live your own style.

                                        If you dont like the shirt tag black sharpie and youre done.
