@Oaktavia Great analogy. A little thread drift here. Do you have any favorite artists,or artist’s that you might consider inspirational.

It used to be Egon Schiele and still is to an extent. But nowadays I try not to look at too many artists so I can remain more original.

That’s exactly why I don’t listen to any parenting advice. I figure it’s all been done let’s try something zany.

@Jord just tried the beeseal on my jean patches and I love it!

[Jord]

@daugustway Glad to hear! It's like magic, it's brought some of my old patches back to life with a little hydration... Works with belts etc too like I mentioned.

[Jord]

Random question... But how far in advance do you plan seasons? I've heard from other brands that they're working on FW27 (mostly Brandon Svarc), just wondering what season you guys are currently working on (or if it's top secret) as I'm sure it takes a lot of planning in advance from mills/factories ec...

hope you're all well

[Alex]

SS27

Please be more succinct with your response, Alex

Whats's the most difficult/expensive IH product to make?

[Giles]

The most difficult is probably the UHR denim.....Closely followed by the 25oz XHS....

[ARNC]

Prompted by this, should we expect a bunch of monochrome UHFs this year? More seriously, is the Iran situation having any direct impact on IH production?

[Giles]

Not yet. But interestingly, we were told at one of the mills we went to, that the cost of running the projectile looms was rising as a result. I did not ask why......

[ARNC]

@Giles thanks for the reply. Hope it stays not yet. I know there are bigger concerns in this whole situation (not for discussion here) but it would be a shame for IH to take the hit for something that’s clearly not your fault.

Reminds me of this.

Do you guys have Iron Heart business cards? Just curious what they look like if you do.

[Alex]

I have a few in Japanese, for when I am in Japan. We don't really use them in the west any more, though

[dirtyframer]

@Alex Times sure have changed, I remember early in my career that receiving your first box of cards was a crowning achievement , it meant you had some level of importance and that others NEEDED your contact- was something special.

And now when someone asks for a business card I sit and think- "Is this the 2000s or what??"

[Alex]

Now you just bump phones..

[dirtyframer]

On a good note at least I should be seeing another leather jacket from yall today UPS pending...

@dirtyframer I think its summed up quite well in American Psyco when they are sat around the table in the meeting room .
