So urm, Josh, how do I go about getting one of those super rare misprint patches

[JoshC]

haha the anarchy @Matt mwahaha, There were a bunch of misprints that we have here, and I’ve started keeping a very small collection from reloves or from people who wanted the leather tab removed and they dont want. That way, if someone damages the patch for any reason, I can usually replace it with something similar for them. I can’t always guarantee the exact same patch, but I normally give customers a couple of close options to choose from.

[Go For Chill]

Josh should start an undercover criminal service where he will replace your patch with a misprint one for a small fee. They'll become collectable like double stamped coins.

[goosehd]

@JoshC just a thought: Could you overstamp misprints (xxx them out) to avoid confusion in the future? Anything crossed out would automatically suggest a replaced leather patch in the future.

@goosehd i’m sure you’ll move this to the appropriate location, but I closed out the window on my phone and just did a search and this is a very first site that came up at the top of my search… did not want to click on anything so just screenshot it.

[goosehd]

@northsouthdenimguy I think this is a pretty good spot for now and tagging @ShopatIronHeart so that they know.

Thank you.

[Giles]

There's loads of those fucking sites and we cant get them shut down........

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Giles

I hate that for you all and for potential customers. This is the first time one of them popped up for me.

[Giles]

I agree, but when something is too good to be true, it usually is. And the pricing is so ridiculous, that it is very very too good to be true. So frankly, I despair of anyone who falls for it....At the very least, you would think someone would do a little research and conclude it was a scam....

I noticed this jacket for sale used - searched on the image and searched here for a bit of history and facts on it. Only found one other in a Japanese store online. No brown nylon coach or flight jackets seem to register here on a search. Is it IH or a knock off?

[Giles]

Could be kosher. We have done a number of brown coach jackets over the years. We may not have described them as "Coach Jackets" at the time. In the early days, we often did not bring them outside of Japan because they did not sell very well internationally.

I can't remember that one specifically, but I Google Lensed it and found this:

Which gives it some cred

[Makarwise]

@Giles - just bought it Curiosity and I like the look

IHJ-07

[Matt]

One of my first purchases

[Matt]

Mines a medium and fits well. I wear mostly larges now and I think the initial reactions when they came out were that they ran large. Not overly so I’m sure yours will fit fine. The cuffs are long and are meant to be folded. Enjoy.

[Chibs]

Anyone know about this one?

Yes - I wear large in IH almost exclusively. This large is a bit...large! Don't think it is for me - I like it a lot but the fit is just too relaxed. I think a regular XL IH wearer would love this. Add to the sales pile

@Chibs never seen before, but looks really legit. mechanic shirts date back to the IHSH-25, or even earlier. @Giles may be the only one who could remember. there's always a chance he did not bring this specific model to the western world.

[Chibs]

@tody thanks man! It’s a pretty cool shirt. I really like that it’s got hand warmer pockets. Hopefully it’s legit!

[Giles]

Hmmmmm, can't remember that one. But as @tody says, I did not bring all the early mechanics shirts over to International......Though, if I had seen it, I would have got one myself
