I know at least one other person is into this stuff here, but snapped a picture of a small haul back from Japan, mostly so I could be sure what I got with Google translate.

Nice sheets.

[Matt]

Thank you! We just got them from Amazon. The duvet cover has some great colors on it and is green on the underside. The sheets are a nice complementary pumpkin color.

@Matt what’s the BO collab?

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle Ironheart and Beatle Busters

[Mizmazzle]

Ah. That’s an old collab then, eh?

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle Yes…and very desirable for some of us. Ticks a lot of the boxes (Beatle Busters, UHR - OG, not a lot of them made, and very few in mint/new condition)

[Mizmazzle]

@goosehd hell yea!!

[Mizmazzle]

Beatle Buster was/ is an old school forum member who had a cut named after her? Am I right in that? Or way off?

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle Yes Beatle was a member here and the Buster was something that I believe she was instrumental in the design of. There are pictures of many of the old crew (original forum members) all visiting Japan together with @Giles.

I believe some of the group still communicate via outside (non forum) connections occasionally.

[Mizmazzle]

@goosehd yeah. I remember seeing her in some of the very early posts I’ve gone back and read. Knew she was part of the old school crew. Wasn’t quite sure how the collaboration came to be. Love the old IH history. Thanks for the backstory clarification.

Here’s a link to the Jeans https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/4461/ihxb01xuhr-ultra-heavy-raw-beatle-busters

Edit: This is the first reference to UHR’s that I can find: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/2971/ultra-heavy-raw-ih-1955-uhr-ih-666-uhr-and-ih-634-uhr?_=1735870788732

So the Beatle Busters were not in the original releases of UHR Jeans.

[Mizmazzle]

@goosehd I’ve actually been thinking hard on a pair of UHRs…of course now these seem like the ultra cool kids pair.

[Giles]

The first Busters were 21oz, then we also did UHR and XHS at some point later on....

[Mizmazzle]

@Giles can you share a little bit on how Beatle Buster came to be a part of the collab? I love hearing about the stories behind the histories.

[goosehd]

@Giles First reference I can find of the Beatle Busters were 2010… https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/434/ihxb01-beatle-buster-21oz-japanese-selvage-denim-indigo
