    One person, who we called The C**t for a while, refused to (there were numerous other reasons for the moniker). He is no longer a member or a customer.....

      I started to understand that people were buying us as much, if not more, for our quality than for heaviness of our fabrics.

      This is 100% true in my case, and what puts Iron Heart in a league of its own.
      (I do love the heavy fabrics, but the main point for me is the overall quality)

        I liked Triple Works, but it being absorbed into IH makes so much more sense. Thank you for the awesome story.

            For some reason, I’m imagining Stevie @Oaktavia reading stuff like this to the little oak rather than traditional bedtime stories 😃

            Little Oak! I'm dead 😍 ...we did choose Hickory for his middle name though.

            I loved this read, how it is written and it's topic. Now do 25oz origin story! @Giles

              Maybe we need a dedicated "Iron Heart Lore" thread.

                @Oaktavia what you really need is “My first book of denim origin stories” with an XHS cover (probably not going to happen though) 😛

                  IH origin stories/ Lore could be a fantastic outline for the next seasons Podcast!!

                    I’d personally love to hear the story of how a 14 oz Beatle Buster went into production due to overwhelming Forum support. You could even change the name of it to The Forum Cut

                      I love hearing about these stories, especially in the earlier days. I could only imagine the " I made up a few things, but they all seemed forced and slightly bullshitty" has happened once or twice more and just makes it all the better 😂

                        @Giles 🙂 At the risk of turning this into the "Ask anything thread" - do you find that 14 is essentially a gateway drug for your customers? They start on the 14 in one cut, find that they are way better than other stuff and wonder: just how good can 18 / 21 / 25 be!? And then the journey begins!

                            It is certainly a gateway drug for some people, those that either don't want to spend 21oz plus money or don't believe that 21oz plus will be comfortable.

                            @alex can give you detailed info if he has time. Currently bogged down in new website launch......

                              So many great IH stories that should be find in one place/book/podcast.

                              • From the ‘IHD-01 - Special G Denim Version’ to the CPO line
                              • Shuttle-loom woven flannel with a skew made into the glorious IHSH-129
                              • The lost and found weaver for the UHF
                              • …

                                      @Giles amazing story, thanks for sharing this. I am a huge fan of the lighter weight options, especially as we move into summer. Persistence pays off! Can’t wait for those 14oz 1955s…

                                        @Matt I like the idea of “The Forum Cut,” and I propose it be a forum exclusive. IDK how in the world that would work, but I like it.
