Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle Thank you for clarifying that as I just assumed that I had mis-remembered. I'm pretty sure they were also done in the 555 cut,but sadly they never made it out of Japan,I think.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 I mean…everyone wants a badass pair of black jeans, right? What’s more rock and roll than that?? Make em XHS and BOOM!! Blows my mind they didn’t fly off the shelf and remain Continuous Production.

I’d be willing to bet with the surge in IH popularity they’d be wildly successful if another attempt was made.

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle I agree with that. Definitely growing interest in IH overall, plus people seem to really love the black stuff (me included). I feel like the SBG Type 3’s gonna fly out.

[pechelman]

you'd think the IH crew would love this too with having a very clear statement about how these XHSMB have been ultra overdyed brutally, TWICE, and that no shrinkage will ever ever happen.

but who am i kidding? someone will still ask how much they'll shrink

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture oh man. That SBG type 3 is rooted deep in my brain at this point. I selfishly hope it doesn’t land for a couple months still. I’m not ready haha

While I totally agree with you,historically, The Forum has not been a good predictor of what will or will not sell. There have been quite a few products ,over the years,that have left me scratching my head,as to why they didn't sell. They're were solid UHFs in the past,and they definitely didn't do as well as the recent collab with Brund.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 you’re so right my friend. Those outsiders should just listen to our forum expertise. We know what’s best for them haha.

Correct. Listening to the cool kids is no recipe for success. There just aren't enough of them

[Nik]

It's like how political candidates get nominated by the activists in the party and then have to switch up the message to attract a wider population

[Giles]

Exactly. I fell foul of listening to the cool-kids years ago. They were younger, more hip and I thought, more in tune with the wider customer base than me. So I listened.......

And made some of the slowest selling stuff we have ever made

[Aetas]

If I recall correctly, you stuffed a whole production of a jacket into the attic to pull out at some point @Giles?

[Giles]

Well remembered.......

[tody]

I‘m intrigued. Which one and has it been pulled since?

[Giles]

It was a printed mechanics jacket. It was pulled and sold super cheap to some of our Asian retailers....

[Mister_Brue]

This post is deleted!

[Giles]

Yeah, all 3 of them who bought it

[tody]

So which model was it then? I'd like to know if I would have been one of the cool kids

[Giles]

That'll take some searching....Will research

[tody]

Cool. I like reading about such oddities...
Recently came across a pair of BKSP on eBay or Grailed and saw that that gained zero traction on here, and that fell possibly in the same category.
