IHSH-442-SAX - 9oz Selvedge Flannel Check Work Shirt - Sax Blue
-
@Brian.bvdk IHSH-293-OD is what I am wearing mostly at the moment!
-
Ok …. Alerts set lol, I’ll need this one as well. I wear my 332 so often that people miss it in the warmer months
-
In, since I missed the anniversary edition.
-
I’ve been back and forth over needing another sax shirt but it awfully good looking.
-
-
@indigo_fades They're still amazing quality, just better for warmer months - just glad I can still wear IH shirts in the summer

@Jord @Matt This is good to know. I live on the coast at the NC/SC border, so we get the heat pretty good about 9 months out of the year. Actually, since the snow a couple weeks ago it immediately went back to 60⁰-70⁰ last week and now I'm afraid jacket weather is coming to an end. Having something a little lighter will suit me perfectly (although I do absolutely love the heavier fabrics). Thanks gents!
-
@indigo_fades They are a decent weight flannel IMO. It's just that the UHFs are so epic they blow any normal flannel out the water in comparison.
As others have said, great weight for year round wear. I need this and the orange one!
-
@indigo_fades The fabric on the lighter is really good. I love that you can see the weave. As others said - good all year round but when its really cold UHF wins.

@freepickin probably not far off if the Japanese retailers have them.
-
Japan looks to have done westerns. I saw that in their preorder docs.
-
-
@cb09 Ah I didn't notice that, yeah that makes sense!
-
Super interested in trying to pick up the 440 western Japan release. @AdamJ or @ShopatIronHeart is there any best practices or taboos when trying to attempt such a thing or is it just wait until drop and make an international purchase? I am in the US but I prefer this cut over the workshirt that is releasing everywhere else
-
I’m pretty sure no Japanese retailer will ship iron heart to the US.
-
Is there a particular reason for that or is it just a rule? I’m trying to understand
-
@roydub87 You will have to use a proxy service if you want to buy a Japan only release.

Yes. Iron Heart International basically made Iron Heart a thing outside of Japan. It cost a lot to do that. We make a lot of stuff that is specific to the western market (because we know more about what the west wants than Haraki), it costs a lot to do that.
So Haraki does all he can to protect us and our investment, because if we disappear, then Iron Heart will be a shadow of what it is now.
And we all lose out.
We cant stop you buying proxy (though Haraki does try), but every time you or anyone else does, you are actually hurting the viability of Iron Heart as a global brand.
not asking, just stoking the HYPE is all
