    I am sure that would be possible. @josh can certainly do it. THOUGH, it does depend upon him having new denim of the same type. If you are having them hemmed (by enough) them that may be the donor denim 🙂 It's quite a big/complicated job though, especially if they are going to be tucked into the waistband.....

      @Alex is there any way to (or does it even make sense to...) Have a master link to retailers inventory for Iron Heart items? Sometimes things will end up on "Garmentory" when you google as a landing place for an item. Currently there's a pair of 18oz vintage being sold by Brooklyn clothing.

      It's so clunky to go to each retailers website, navigate to the specific item just to see if your size is in stock.

      I see an issue being that it may take away sales from IHUK direct if the link shows a retailers closer with it, but I'm asking the question anyhow.

        We trialled a system similar to what youre describing on the European website after Brexit. It didn't work particularly well, and the limiting factor was what platform other shops were built on, first of all, but more importantly that the retailers named things in exactly the same way we do, they kept on top of things in the same way we do, etc etc. It ended up not being super useful to the customer, so we axed it.

          Makes sense. May be more trouble than its worth to get everyone properly aligned. I just had an experience with a SS shirt you are sold out of in my size, so the thought came up as i was browsing the retailers to track it down.

            @jordanscollected it was harder than I expected it to be to get people to tow the line, especially given it is really them that benefits from it, not us (as you say in your first post), but then if it ends up being broken on our website, it reflects poorly on us, rather than them so it ends up being a double loss for us

              I wonder if there is an SEO alternative to let Google know who is stocking specific releases. That seems pretty straightforward if this is an important problem to solve. Otherwise just check your favorite stockist!

              Think it, be it.

                Is there no wabash jacket? I mean shorter than the Chore coat. Why is that so, and wouldn't it be great to have one?

                              Hello,

                              I own an older pair of 301s in 21oz denim, and I'm interested in purchasing a new pair from Iron Heart.

                              Could you please let me know which of the current models has the most similar fit/cut?

                                @Giobcn My best guess is the 555’s. Maybe @neph93 or @Giles can chime in and confirm.

                                  @Giobcn Self Edge sort of replaced the 301 with the 777, so I think they’d say that. The 555 is probably the other most similar in that it’s slim.

                                      777 is the only one that really bears a similarity. Rise was super low on the 301, with an aggressive taper starting at the thigh.

                                        @Alex seeing @Mizmazzle post today regarding work shirt cut, I feel like I'm seeing more people gravitate towards work that were traditionally western. Are there any figures you'd be willing to share to corroborate or debunk this? %Wrk vs %wstrn sold? Are you ordering differently due to a swing?

                                          @jordanscollected this is an interesting postulation. I 100% prefer a UHF in work cut. I love my westerns in denim or other unique fabrics. But work shirts are so comfortable and easy to wear that this is where I lean more and more these days.
