@northsouthdenimguy they seem to be doing just fine and if Mike was doing it for the $ he would be operating his business very differently.
-
I know everybody gets a little touchy with SJ/Mike and once again I’ve purchased quite a bit of stuff from them. It has nothing to do with questioning his business practices. It was just something I’ve thought about recently, especially with so many people that I know personally that are not able to get the drops…

-
@derek111 yeah man. I agree. I got the sashiko one too when they came out. However, it’s still sitting on ice because this BT was screaming to be beat down.
-
@Mizmazzle Looks really good man! I’m the opposite of you. Haven’t touched my BT one yet because of the Sashiko. But even that I haven’t worn because it’s too hot. I’m wearing their black trucker hat they released before summer.
-
@Danimal506 that sashiko one is a hot wearer with that fabric. I’ve done a bunch of fishing and hiking in my BT and it wasn’t too hot. But a trucker can’t be beat for air flow!
-
@Mizmazzle I’ve developed some pretty nasty sweat stains on the black one. Only thing to prevent sweaty clothes in Texas is nudity
Have you shrunk your BT at all? Any hot water soaks?
-
@Danimal506 yeah. I boiling water soaked it twice right when I got it. It shrunk up nicely. I’ve washed it a couple times as well to get said sweat stains out after a hike. Mostly just dunking it into a creek.

@northsouthdenimguy
The shop is almost always fully stocked! With items they make along with items that Mike just really likes and wants to make available..
Mike definitely keeps a hoard of items in stock for the local peeps. Which is crucial for a brick and mortar obviously… as far as the online drops go.. you just have to be tactical -
@Daiquirigranola ah that’s awesome I’ll definitely have to check it out when I’m next in Portland

@chadstone30 god damn!!
So sick -
Denim Townes will not be announced before they hit the website…

Good luck with that. I’m going try to find an archived measurement chart for the last Townes. Would be nice if Mike would at least release the chart so we be ready to order the correct size, but I guess that’s all part of the game…
-
Excellent point. Not releasing a size chart well ahead of a drop is a recipe for panic-buying the wrong size and being disappointed you spent hundreds on a product you can't use. Bad customer care.
Yet another good example of how @ShopatIronHeart do things the right way.
-
95% of the time I take a tagged Large IH western - I took a tagged Medium from a previous run of the denim Townes. Ended up selling it on the forum a while back (size was champ, just too many shirts), but don’t seem to have kept a record of the measurements I took from that sale….
Edit: I recall it felt long
-
I'm glad to see a few here snagged the latest sahsiko shirt. I had one in the cart, checking out, and during payment processing, my order was canceled. I was right there! I almost had it!! I was incensed. I'm still sore about it.
I'll check the local shop near the release date.
-
For preference my IH 295IB in size Large has a length of 29,9” and ship John’s large is/was on the previous run a 31” length in large. So it’s indeed longer than most Iron Heart shirts in the same size.
I just remembered the length, because it’s a big deal for me. But I didn’t save a picture of the chart.I agree this is a little extensive way of a release. I have nothing that confirms or back it up. But I had a feeling after all most recent releases Mike received 100 of angry email complaining about his releases “lost in cart” and such. My guess he just said this release is gonna be different. It doesn’t solve anything, people that complains will continue to complain, no matter how stuff gets released.
If more people want something then the amount that’s produced, people will always be unhappy to some degree.
I just thought this was a tough cookie to handle because of all different time zones around the world. So depending on when he do release the shirt. It makes a huge difference depending on where in the world you live.
Sweden is 9 hours ahead of Portland. So often when Mike releases updates and such, I’m asleep in the middle of the night here
️I rather have the hectic release’s , if it means I atleast know when to be alert, awake and ready
