Ask Giles and/or Alex Anything

Makes sense. May be more trouble than its worth to get everyone properly aligned. I just had an experience with a SS shirt you are sold out of in my size, so the thought came up as i was browsing the retailers to track it down.

@jordanscollected it was harder than I expected it to be to get people to tow the line, especially given it is really them that benefits from it, not us (as you say in your first post), but then if it ends up being broken on our website, it reflects poorly on us, rather than them so it ends up being a double loss for us

I wonder if there is an SEO alternative to let Google know who is stocking specific releases. That seems pretty straightforward if this is an important problem to solve. Otherwise just check your favorite stockist!

Is there no wabash jacket? I mean shorter than the Chore coat. Why is that so, and wouldn't it be great to have one?

@endo IHJ 109 Black or IHJ 109 Indigo

[JunkPants]

Aitora actually has the IHJ-109-BLK in stock in XL and XXL. On sale even.

Hello,

I own an older pair of 301s in 21oz denim, and I'm interested in purchasing a new pair from Iron Heart.

Could you please let me know which of the current models has the most similar fit/cut?

[goosehd]

@Giobcn My best guess is the 555’s. Maybe @neph93 or @Giles can chime in and confirm.

[Alex]

@Giobcn Self Edge sort of replaced the 301 with the 777, so I think they’d say that. The 555 is probably the other most similar in that it’s slim.

Take a look here

[Giobcn]

@Alex @goosehd Thank you very much!

[sabergirl]

777 is the only one that really bears a similarity. Rise was super low on the 301, with an aggressive taper starting at the thigh.

@Alex seeing @Mizmazzle post today regarding work shirt cut, I feel like I'm seeing more people gravitate towards work that were traditionally western. Are there any figures you'd be willing to share to corroborate or debunk this? %Wrk vs %wstrn sold? Are you ordering differently due to a swing?

[Mizmazzle]

@jordanscollected this is an interesting postulation. I 100% prefer a UHF in work cut. I love my westerns in denim or other unique fabrics. But work shirts are so comfortable and easy to wear that this is where I lean more and more these days.

[Tago Mago]

@Mizmazzle Must be a 50+ thing. @Matt feels the same

[pechelman]

@Mizmazzle Work shirts rarely work for me. When the length is right it's usually too wide and sloppy looking. When the width is right it's too short. Ive got a couple of work shirts among many westerns, so that's definitely my preference. I also have the good fortune of being semi-in-between-sizes for Western cuts, so I normally go up the half size to XL in UHF for a more comfy fit and down the half size to things in harder faced denser fabrics like denim or serge.
