RE:LOVE - Repurposed — Iron Heart, Reimagined

@Lynne Yes please!

We keep saying it, but clearly we need more fucked jeans to make more coasters - if you have some old and worn jeans you cannot wear, don't toss them - send them to us

[SKT]

I just sent in a pair for the first time. Some 18 oz vintage that I just couldn’t get into anymore. Process was super easy…happy to support this cool program

[Lynne]

@SKT that is fantastic! Thank you so much. I really cannot bear to see any fabric not being used, especially IH. Look forward to receiving them. I’ll post process shots

I am sure logistics may prevent but... could you do a 2 or 3 inch swatch book? I.e. a swatch of 25 X / 25 U / 21 / 21 stretch / 19 / 18 / 17 Duck / 16 SL / 14 on a ring?

Faded or not: being able to feed some fabric would be awesome when planning the next pair.

[SKT]

@Lynne that’s awesome and I’m looking forward to seeing how you give them a 2nd life!

[Lynne]

@will6er for this part of Relove, where we’re using unsellable garments I don’t think this would be quick to achieve, as I have but a few remnants. (Call out for more denim please!)

We are repurposing hemming offcuts for Relove and Repairs. However, we do use the tiniest pieces - see pic attached of 1cm offcuts which we use as tails to feed the Kansai belt loop machine. So, I’m not sure we’d get a big enough library of big enough swatches, but we will keep this in mind. Thank you for your suggestion, much appreciated

Even the tiniest scraps play a big part in Project Re:Love!

[ZackB]

@Lynne so old hem cutoffs and anything like that?

[Lynne]

@ZackB they are assigned to Re:Love and Repairs in the first instance

[ZackB]

@Lynne awesome!, I believe I have a few old ones I could send in.

[Lynne]

@ZackB fabulous, thank you! I always wonder what people do with their hemming offcuts

[TheChef17]

Might be a dumb question on my part, but is it possible to “pimp” these out with some of the GAH snaps instead of the IH copper snaps? Could be a cool little idea

[Lynne]

@TheChef17 potentially, as an upgrade maybe…I’ll discuss with the team on Monday and look at if/how this could work and come back to you

[TheChef17]

@Lynne awesome thank you!

[Danimal506]

I saw there was only one keychain left, so I went ahead to bought it Who knows when these will be available again. It’ll be great for my work keys.

@TheChef17 GAH pimpage would be so cool!

[Lynne]

@Danimal506 that’s great news, thank you!

[Danimal506]

@Lynne Thank you!

[jmp777]

Have you guys thought about doing an Apple Watch band? A black ultra with a thick OD band would be SICK!

[Lynne]

@TheChef17 the answer is yes! It will depend on the product and fabrics used, but having GAH on a keyring would simply be handled as an upgrade, like any other.

For now, people can add an upgrade to their keyring in addition to their order. And for, future releases, we’ll add this as an option in the product itself.

We can do the same for the wristlets too ️

Thank you for asking!

[Lynne]

@jmp777 we hadn’t thought of that…but will look into it. (I started going down a ‘make your own Apple watch strap’ rabbit hole last night, so it will need more thought and sampling.) Thank you for the suggestion
