Is there a particular reason for that or is it just a rule? I’m trying to understand

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.

@Giles and @jebrand thank you for the insights!
I love this brand and community which is why I asked. I never want to color outside the lines because of the importance of this community and the products we all love, discuss, and purchase. This is super helpful and I hope the west can enjoy the creations of the east in harmony and striking that balance is everything. I never want to use a proxy as it seems inauthentic and off base to what the brand is hoping to accomplish. I hope that model jumps the pond one day or I can make it there to get it myself. Cheers

the black 442 is coming out next week is it safe to assume this one not far behind ?

[JoshC]

@mikemakuch71 hopefully not too far behind, as soon as we have them here I'm sure we will tease you all with a sneak peak.

[gneicher]

I’m very excited for this one. It will be my most colorful iron heart piece! 9oz flannels are the bomb

[Brandrea]

@gneicher

Indeed they are

[Go For Chill]

Unbrushed in general is my jam! I'll take any extra breathability I can get.

@Go-For-Chill
What does “brushed” actually mean ?

[Ross]

@gneicher "Brushed" typically describes fabrics treated to create a soft, napped surface, eg. our UHFs are twice brushed on the inside to make them extra cozy in cold weather

@Go-For-Chill

Notice how on the outside of the shirt you can see the weave of the fabric clearly, but the inside it looks fuzzy. It’s the same piece of fabric, but the inside has been brushed to make it softer and fuzzier. It gives a really nice feel but I feel like it makes it warmer; which is a negative for me being in a very hot climate and still wanting to wear my flannels. Unbrushed gives me more layering opportunities. It also slides over a t-shirt better when it’s unbrushed. It’s not a lot, but enough to create a preference. I tend to size up in my (brushed) UHFs for this reason.

I can’t wait for the release on this one. 9oz flannel is what I need right now ! Going to be a race !

[Indigo Alchemist]

this will be wild

[Brandrea]

I said I wasn’t going to buy this one because I already have the UHF … then I woke up from that nightmare. Can’t wait, measurements look perfecto on this one, and it’ll be my first work shirt!

[Karol]

I can’t wait to add this one!

[1WayTrip]
