        @jordanscollected everytime we release the new method, we detail it in that weeks newsletter to explain the change, and why.

          Are there any future plans for Ignition Works?

              @Giles Pretty much what I expected to hear, but a bit of a shame.
              I quite liked the branding/logo and the products, but I guess not enough people did.

                Sorry, nothing at all wrong with the product, but a bit like Triple Works, I think it suffered in part through brand snobbery….

                  In the latest collab with Self Edge were there pieces that didn't pass Quality Control,and if so what happens to them? Just curious.

                    There would have been, there always is with any production run. If they are fixable, they get fixed (and because we completed making these months ago, they will already have been fixed and be included in the numbers). If they are not fixable, but generally OK, they will get sold at the Iron Heart Camp, where people can see the actual article and make a decision about whether they want it or not. Otherwise they will get destroyed after we have salvaged all useful bits and pieces.

                      Such a shame. I still have some Triple Works shirts and they're amazing.

                        The psychology involved is quite fascinating. And for those on the design/production/sales side I imagine it can be rather frustrating at times as well.

                          Not sure this came up already at some stage or is feasible: In weeks where releases or restocks happen, it would be helpful to have a overview thread that would list releases for a given week. Could be just one post with a short list of the items, perhaps with a week number as a title. Could even be (not sure that is possible) locked for comments, such that people would not derail it by discussing individual items. For items where I do not have a re-stock notification, I usually find out only when browsing through unread topics (or via Instagram video.. but I do not always see this), but I am not aware of a centralized summary info. The website also does not seem to have a "coming soon" section or similar?

                            @Tobi not exactly what you are suggesting, but do you check the calendar on here on a regular basis? All releases and restocks are listed there

                              @Tobi what @Tago-Mago sounds like the ideal solution! When we enter the launch dates in to each respective thread they get added to the calendar at the top of the page so you can see a snapshot of what's going live when. If you click on the calendar entries you can be taken directly to the thread.

                                  This is brilliant. I’ve never looked at the calendar before myself. Just seeing all kinds of fun releases popping up!!

                                            @Giles curios if would know approx the year this IHSH-07 would be from? I know it’s one of the early runs, with the printed logo on lower lapel. I purchased it off a forum member, who got it off another forum member years back.
