Now i'll imagine you sitting on the 'naughty step' when I see your profile picture

Well, I am glad I got that one right.
After we had an issue with the first iteration of one of the early editions of Buffalo Check shirts and we had to do a product recall, we had an incredible outpouring of love. What was initially an awful experience changed the way I thought about what we do, and realised that whilst we were at that time known for our heavy stuff, we also had a legion of people who bought Iron Heart for its quality.
I reasoned that if we made a good "lightweight" denim, it would sell. The next time I saw Haraki I said, you know one of our taglines is "We don't do light", well I think we should change that to "We don't do crap", so will you develop a 14oz denim?
Haraki, he say yes.....
-
I mean, its only at IH that 14oz is considered "lightweight" denim. So you could have stuck with "we don't do light" IMO.

I would order a pair of all the different 14oz denims to have in back up if I wasn’t on the brink of divorce already after last years spending…
Being a married man you should have opened a dedicated off shore bank account before buying IH products. The less she knows the better she sleeps

@T4920 brilliant!
I think being sat on the naughty step would actually be a darn sight cooler than the reality behind the pic of “set self timer, awkwardly position phone on wheelie bin, assume awkward pose, casually look into the distance” 
Ahaha too relatable...

@DeeDee85 otherwise you could marry with one of your shirts

IHT-1600 in navy or dark grey.

@Giles someone on reddit just shared a story about a motorcycle accident they were involved in a few years back and how they were thrown off. Broke their ankle clean. Afterwards they looked at their Iron Heart jeans and they had no rips or much of a scuff at all.

@marco23d Got you covered. Saw it last night and posted here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/808516
Edit: Excellent shout though!!
-
@goosehd yup that's the one! incredible
-
@Giles What happened to IHSH-362-BLK and IHSH-361-BLK that you decided not restock them in the future? The sales went sour or anything else went wrong? They look really cool to my taste and something tells me I am not the only one who wish to see them back

We've used up all the denim, and we cant make more (well we could, but something else would have to give).....
Should I cross them out of my wish list for good?
-
@Giles Just out of curiosity, what prevents you from producing some of your goods based on preorder when you're guaranteed to sell all the batch? Or as even better option so called crowdfunding for a certain product?
-
We dont like the idea of taking peoples money months in advance, and if we don't (we've tried) then loads of people renege on the "promise".
Until we get the production run completed, we do not know actual sizing. If the sizing is off from what we predicted, then we have all sorts of trouble, ending up with too many of some sizes, too few of others and some inevitably unfulfillable orders.
If the production run is late, we get involved in lots of customer interaction and cancelled orders. -
@Giles Yeah, it seems not as simple as it seems at first glance...
Well let us choose from what is offered at a given moment
