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

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.

[Tobi]

@Tago-Mago Ah shit... this indeed qualifies... never looked at this! I rest my case...

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

[Tago Mago]

@Mizmazzle my apologies to your wife

[Mizmazzle]

@Tago-Mago yes, well…she won’t be the one sleeping under a bridge.

[Tobi]

@Mizmazzle but you will be the best dressed dude under the bridge by far!!

@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.

[Giles]

I'm guessing from one of the first runs....2009 or 2010

@Giles
Oh cool, thank you.

[seawolf]

@meatmarketdenim1 That's rad!

Are you kidding me.... Thats an expensive button. Should come with a warning.

That’s pretty cool @meatmarketdenim1

@seawolf @Matt
Thanks guys. pretty cool have one of the og runs, vintage IH. plus a great shirt. Was a really good deal on the buy/sell thread.

@Giles wondering if you ever go back to a pair of jeans after you’ve properly faded them…thinking more recently of the Broken Twills or even the 18 oz. Vintage?

[Giles]

Nope, end up on the wall in Gosport

[Buckeye]

@Alex feels like the recent runs of the type 3s (21 oz, 16oz) have been overall a little shorter (in length) than prior runs. Is this intentional? (I’m a fan of the shorter length, to be clear)
