@Jett129 I mean…everyone wants a badass pair of black jeans, right? What’s more rock and roll than that?? Make em XHS and BOOM!! Blows my mind they didn’t fly off the shelf and remain Continuous Production.

I’d be willing to bet with the surge in IH popularity they’d be wildly successful if another attempt was made.

While I totally agree with you,historically, The Forum has not been a good predictor of what will or will not sell. There have been quite a few products ,over the years,that have left me scratching my head,as to why they didn't sell. They're were solid UHFs in the past,and they definitely didn't do as well as the recent collab with Brund.

@Jett129 you’re so right my friend. Those outsiders should just listen to our forum expertise. We know what’s best for them haha.

Correct. Listening to the cool kids is no recipe for success. There just aren't enough of them

It's like how political candidates get nominated by the activists in the party and then have to switch up the message to attract a wider population

[Giles]

Exactly. I fell foul of listening to the cool-kids years ago. They were younger, more hip and I thought, more in tune with the wider customer base than me. So I listened.......

And made some of the slowest selling stuff we have ever made

[Aetas]

If I recall correctly, you stuffed a whole production of a jacket into the attic to pull out at some point @Giles?

[Giles]

Well remembered.......

[tody]

I‘m intrigued. Which one and has it been pulled since?

[Giles]

It was a printed mechanics jacket. It was pulled and sold super cheap to some of our Asian retailers....

[Giles]

Yeah, all 3 of them who bought it

[tody]

So which model was it then? I'd like to know if I would have been one of the cool kids

[Giles]

That'll take some searching....Will research

[tody]

Cool. I like reading about such oddities...
Recently came across a pair of BKSP on eBay or Grailed and saw that that gained zero traction on here, and that fell possibly in the same category.

[Giles]

Not sure even the cool kids queued up to by them....

[GandalftheGray]

I definitely second 888 18oz OD would be perfect

[jdwaid]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but a primaloft quilted hoodie would be

An IH-822D; 17oz Duck Double Knee Engineer Pants - Brown

@pechelman ooh that's clean. Never seen this before. Would love to see a re-interpretation of this in new colorways with the IHV-44 hand warmers and no (or just internal) chest pocket...

[pechelman]

There are about four different colors of this out there I think. In addition to the blue I think I've seen a black, khaki, and something that reminded me of orange sherbet.
