    Seems like it would be incredibly time consuming to try to copy the measurements into beginning of the forum threads, so that’s probably a non-starter.

    Thanks for responding, Giles. It certainly was a huge number of products, so even though I have almost no clue how websites work, I can imagine it used a fair amount of resources.

      …pissed in a hornet's nest.  Understand the work and headache, but really hope you guys can preserve it in some fashion.

      @Giles Could you create and preserve it in a IH mirror site that specifically deals with extinct items?

        I noticed yesterday while updating my sales page as I usually link to the relevant page.
        Will surely be missed. 😢

          Possibly.  @Alex ?

              I think it would depend on what people specifically miss, being able to browse old products or comparing measurements with active ones. We could not have a mirrored site for extinct that was comparable to the current website, for example

                  If getting rid of the compare feature preserves the archives, I’m all for it.  I can always manually write numbers down for comparison.

                    Cool, please keep the feedback coming. The reason that we did this trial period was to get feedback. The category has been disabled for nearly two weeks and today is the first communication we have received on the matter.

                        A lot of times it's used as fodder for the curious. I've seen someone post a shirt I hadn't seen in the past on waywt, and I proceed to go through the forum page of that shirt to see some history.

                        buy/sell is another sub-forum that is a seed for the extinct pages. If you want more info on an item for sale, you can go through those pages to see fit pics, go through history on sizing, etc.

                        Neither of the reasons I described make Iron Heart money, and it sounds like maintaining it costs IH labor, so there has to be a better reason for it.

                        I for one, browsed those older pages frequently when something came up for sale and have been stonewalled the last couple weeks. I didn't think to mention it because who am I to rock the boat?

                            I consider "Rock the Boat" to be my daughter's theme song–true story @goosehd 😃

                            I think that Extinct just needs a little love not to chew so many cycles. The paging should be limited so that it is not possible to load hundreds of images on a page, for example. The rub there is balancing that against encouraging excessive clicks–what's the sweet spot? Maybe it could be broken down into a directory structure by release year, category of good, material, item number (e.g., IHSH-01 to IHSH-25 becomes a page, and so on) or some other organizing principle(s) and be a simple tree to navigate and search. Maybe it could be offloaded to a blogging platform.

                            I think it is an important "museum" and should live on in some form, even if you have to sacrifice usability a bit.

                            Think it, be it.

                                I'd like to have the section back!
                                Snagged a Chino off eBay yesterday, and wanted to research measurements before, that's when I noticed the section is missing, too.

                                As mentioned before, it doesn't benefit you directly, but it's a great feature for ensuring trust in the brand.
                                For people buying used it's a great resource, also when comparing measurements of older stuff you own with new pieces.

                                  Personally, I just use it for the measurements, pictures, and forum link.  99% of the time, I'm digging up a page for an extinct piece because I found a used one on the markets and I want to see how it looks and how it fits.

                                  So, I'm okay with it moving straight to the forums, so long as the forum thread contains the measurement charts and a link to product pictures.

                                  Blanket-line all the things!!!

                                    My main use of it has always been to identify item numbers and make aftermarket purchases when a seller doesn’t provide good measurements. I recognize that this doesn’t really have any benefit to Iron Heart, but I sure will miss how easy it was to access this info.

                                    The problem with relying on the forum, is that the majority of the older threads don’t have size charts. Or if they do, you have to wade through a lot of pages to find them.

                                          I also use for referencing measurements and user reviews when purchasing from IH stockists or previously worn aftermarket.  Noticed it wasn’t available and thought maybe it was a website glitch that was being resolved.  This is unique to IH as far as I can tell and adds to the great customer experience imo.  Hoping that some form of it can exist moving forward.  However, keeping the great products coming should definitely be the priority.

                                          No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.
