For example, it takes a year for a new recruit (even if she/he has prior sewing experience) to move from the practice room to the production floor....

Giles, and what do You think, is there interest in younger members of the sociality in Japan to go into crafts?

[Giles]

Not like a few years ago, hence the growing issue.....

@goosehd and this is the worry I was mentioning to You earlier. We are witnessing a change in the Japanese sociality that has repercussions on this quality aspect from above statement.
I don't remember where it was but @Giles or @Alex mentioned that in one of the factories the owners created really good conditions for foreign workers so that they can focus on the training and later the work. But I still think that there is a risk that even with those extraordinary precautions it's going to be unsustainable. People might want to go back to their home countries, try something else with their lives. etc. While the qualities that IH has in the business have been developed by people solely focused on their thing, perfecting it for years and years.
What Im trying to say here is that the world keeps spinning faster and faster, and that is not good for the things and quality that we love.

Pretty happy I found three red cushion covers on eBay while randomly just scrolling searching Iron Heart. Now Amanda and I have enough to share.

I’ve been hoping for more of these. Is eBay the only place to find them nowadays?

I was only able to find a few on eBay and that was the first time I had seen any.

And today I learned, this was a thing! I would have loved 1-3 of these in the black herringbone.

@ShopatIronHeart what do you think is the possibility of having some in a near future?

[Oaktavia]

@Karol probably much stronger now that you asked again and FOOLED me into thinking they were restocked!

[Oaktavia]

@Karol I'm just playin'...but I would love some more colors on my couches too.

[Karol]

@Oaktavia I realised that it’s been a while since I scratched that itch.

@Karol Hey Karol!

I'm afraid that we don't have any plans for these to be restocked in the foreseeable future... but as you know with anything we make, never say never as these may well make an appearance again!

I agree these would look top-notch in my rather beige living room to spice things up so I very much hope they come back!
