Iron Heart Japan - The Future

[Alex]

Thank you all, guys. Remember Works Inc is who makes all the Iron Heart clothing, so don't expect any changes to that side of the business - Haraki still wants to stay active on that side of things as long as possible.

[NomadCrow]

Do you see any changes coming to how the Japan-side of Iron Heart does business? More offerings in line with the International side? Increase in price? Closing of shops?

[Alex]

@NomadCrow that would be a question to ask in 2029

[Alex]

Well, you can ask it now - but I'm not the right person to answer it yet

@Alex Congratulations and great to see your hard work is recognized and being paid off. You deserve everything that has and is coming your way.

It’s been fun to see where you’ve brought this and will be great to see where you take it.

Congrats Alex. I’m stoked to get a more direct “no” to my request for a short sleeve midweight denim CPO, as opposed to the “we will see” I’ve received for many years.

Congrats @Alex looking forward to the next chapter for Iron Heart under your direction

@Alex congrats - may the force be with you as you transition and secure the IH future - looking forward to the future product developments.

Normally these days when you hear of the transition of a legendary brand, it is met with fear and concern of their future and continued commitment to quality. So many times it seems transition is the beginning of the end for many brands. This is not one of those times! Congratulations Alex! Heavy is the crown, but no better man to carry IH into the future. Btw.. Giles, to hear another man love and care so much about Alex for Haraki to refer to him as his son must have filled your heart with pride and joy. It takes an amazing man to share his son.

The future’s bright, the future’s Alex!

[Mizmazzle]

Incredible news!!! Congrats Alex!
What’s really cool is that soon Haraki will be able to give more time to creating new and wonderful garments for us to thrash!! @jordanscollected may just get his short sleeved mid weight denim CPO after all….I hope it’s got sequins!

[Marc2706]

Great news Alex!!!!! Congrats! I am sure you will handle it perfectly! And remember Spiderman: with great power comes great responsibility!

[Choko]

Congratulations Alex! Now that’s a legacy! Being the president of the greatest clothing brand of all time. Huge news

@Kasi said in Iron Heart Japan - The Future:

Time celebrate. Next party’ make a special one

We will. It’s in a few weeks.

[Matt]

So now instead of one grumpy old guy telling you how to do your job you'll have two.

Congrats to Alex, and of course also to Giles and Paula. Great to see that the future of IH is secured.

Congratulations @Alex , wish you all the best!

This is such welcome news. Congratulations to everyone involved, but especially Alex. The future is bright for Iron Heart.

Congratulations to Alex, and congratulations to Giles as well. As a parent, I can only imagine how rewarding it must be to have a son who not only shares a lot of the same interests in everyday life, but also truly shares the same passion for the business you built. I’ll admit, I’m a little jealous. That has to be a pretty amazing thing as a parent.

From seeing Alex’s interactions here on the forum and getting the chance to meet him in Atlanta, I have zero doubt Iron Heart will be in very good hands. You guys are obviously very similar in a lot of ways, and I’m sure very different in others, but what I’ve always loved about Iron Heart is that unwavering dedication to quality and also that attitude of, “This is what we make. You like it or you don’t.” You’re not chasing trends or changing what you do because everyone else is doing something different. I have no doubt Alex will continue that, regardless of how involved you choose to remain in the years ahead…

Congratulations Alex. That’s a wonderful vote of confidence. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings.
