I was brushing off the dusty cobwebs of an old thread (as I often do) and saw this quote I wanted to shine a some light on. There are notes of subtle satire and sarcasm but I feel it still holds true in some sense.
@Finn666:
i really hope this re-run talk stops some day…takes away all the "magic" of the brand imo -.-
if you're late to the party, get your shit together and search for it. if you find one and can make it yours, you´re the happiest mf on earth and want to hug the whole world and get drunk at the same time. if you can´t find one, you´ll keep looking until you will find one. this, besides some other great facts, is what keeps me coming back to iron heart all the time, when looking for shirts or jackets.
if everything gets a re-run every year or every now and then, it´s nothing else as some kind of "mass production" and takes away all the "magic" one combines with the brand.
so please stop asking for re-runs and search your fecking ass off if you want to grab/own a classic...please!
I have been practicing the art of sifting through the mud to find IH gold and gems on resale websites over the last couple years. The feeling of finding something that was made before and not to be produced again is magical. The chase...the score...the high...ride it out. Iron to the Bone.

@Oaktavia totally agree with this. I’ve been able to snag a couple of long sought after things over the years, and it’s made them all the more special. Case in point: I have an IHSH-87 that I bought from @Clint_D , who said it originally belonged to the other Clint D, an old schooler (and fellow Mississippian I’ve known forever) who hasn’t been on here in ages. Anyway, it’s totally old and worn, and I reach for it about 10:1 over the other UHFs I have because it’s got a story. At the beginning, I used to always wish for reruns, but now I don’t really have any desire.

Discovering the existence of a phenomenal piece from before my time always makes my heart skip a beat. Then, with time, patience, growing friendships and connections in our community, maybe just maybe you find that special piece. It truly makes that score so incredibly special and is one of the best parts of this hobby.
-
@popvulture yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. @Clint_D is responsible for a third of my collection at this point. And as @Mizmazzle stated, the homies along the way help guide us to finding things we seek. Looking at you @tody & @Daniel-San
! This community takes care of itself. -
It took my some time to 'get' the whole idea of hunting down grail pieces, but I think I fully understood the assignment now.
I check the japanese proxy sites as well as ebay and the likes way too often, but when I come across something that is truly unique, i try to think of someone who might like it.
IHV-07 in M, IHM-15 in XL, IHM-22 in XL and IH-528 in XXXL are just some of the things i recently saw - these pieces are out there! -

IHM-22 in XL
This is the 21oz N1 Deck Jacket. Someone on here needs to snag this!

what i found during my endeavours is that is much easier to search for tops and outerwear. it's not a lot of work to dig up old measurements through archive.org from the old IHUK website.
bottoms on the other hand may be hemmed or even tapered, and you might run into difficulties with a language barrier. i'm always amazed by the 40in waist trousers in JP, only to find them having an inseam of 27in

I absolutely can't stand corporate jargon and it is rampant where I work. So today I made a "Corporate JARgon" jar and started things off by putting a couple dollars in. I added some fine print that says "Proceeds go to High School Wrestling Team" and a homie came by and put a $10 in it! It started as a callout for people saying stupid office things and turned into a fundraiser
-
Brilliant.....Congrats.
I used to work for a tech company working out of Princeton, NJ. Once a year, we had to do forecasts for the following fiscal year. On one occasion, there was an F-Bomb jar, proceeds of which went to one of the sales admins who was expecting a baby.
When it was my turn to present, I made sure she got a fuck ton of cash from me..........

@Giles Love it. You gotta have fun with it.
Extra clever that the word in question was the direct cause of the pregnancy. -
