Whats's the most difficult/expensive IH product to make?

[Giles]

The most difficult is probably the UHR denim.....Closely followed by the 25oz XHS....

Prompted by this, should we expect a bunch of monochrome UHFs this year? More seriously, is the Iran situation having any direct impact on IH production?

[Giles]

Not yet. But interestingly, we were told at one of the mills we went to, that the cost of running the projectile looms was rising as a result. I did not ask why......

[ARNC]

@Giles thanks for the reply. Hope it stays not yet. I know there are bigger concerns in this whole situation (not for discussion here) but it would be a shame for IH to take the hit for something that’s clearly not your fault.

Reminds me of this.

Do you guys have Iron Heart business cards? Just curious what they look like if you do.

[Alex]

I have a few in Japanese, for when I am in Japan. We don't really use them in the west any more, though

@Alex Times sure have changed, I remember early in my career that receiving your first box of cards was a crowning achievement , it meant you had some level of importance and that others NEEDED your contact- was something special.

And now when someone asks for a business card I sit and think- "Is this the 2000s or what??"

[Alex]

Now you just bump phones..

[dirtyframer]

On a good note at least I should be seeing another leather jacket from yall today UPS pending...

@dirtyframer I think its summed up quite well in American Psyco when they are sat around the table in the meeting room .

I remember when I was studying Japanese a couple decades ago, there was a whole chapter in the textbook devoted to the language/etiquette of exchanging business cards ("meishi no koukan"). Glad it's still a thing over there.
