Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?

I still havent given the 25oz madblacks any wear and I feel pretty sad about that but have been enjoying the 18oz so much this fall. My plan is to wear these until the 2nd week in November or so and then switch to something else for a big international trip. When we get back the madblacks will go on for at least a couple of months.
My take on the fabric is consistent with @popvulture 's description. It's got a really tough, dense, rugged feel to them a bit like how UHR is when new but at the thicker 25oz feel.

@Mizmazzle Thank you for clarifying that as I just assumed that I had mis-remembered. I'm pretty sure they were also done in the 555 cut,but sadly they never made it out of Japan,I think.

@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.

@Mizmazzle I agree with that. Definitely growing interest in IH overall, plus people seem to really love the black stuff (me included). I feel like the SBG Type 3’s gonna fly out.

@popvulture oh man. That SBG type 3 is rooted deep in my brain at this point. I selfishly hope it doesn’t land for a couple months still. I’m not ready haha

you'd think the IH crew would love this too with having a very clear statement about how these XHSMB have been ultra overdyed brutally, TWICE, and that no shrinkage will ever ever happen.
but who am i kidding? someone will still ask how much they'll shrink
100%

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.

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
-
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
