@Alex You have no vision on your supply chain ? It has been 3 months I am asking when. First it was Feb / March, last week it was maybe this week, and now it is : we don’t know.
This is one of your core cuts … so yes I am a bit suprised you don’t have a precise answer.Have you ever worked with Japanese? If you had, then you would know how difficult and sometimes frustrating it is. Admitting that they are late with something is a grave embarrassment and worthy of harikiri, so they either do not commit to a date or if they know they are going to be late, they do not tell us. Asking over and over again, only embarrasses them more, and that is not a good thing to do. I started this forum so that we could give our customers as much information as possible on all aspects of production, supply etc. We do the best we can.
Sorry if that is not good enough.

The late, great Andrew Weatherall had a regular show on NTS radio called “Music’s Not for Everyone.” I always found it really hilariously wise-ass, but also to have a grain of truth.
A lot of us on here can get a bit uberfan when it comes to defending the brand, so I am happy to flash my bias at the door and say that I am indeed chiming in with that perspective. One of the things I love most about Japanese stuff is that idiosyncratic balance between meticulousness and obsession. You might get the most perfect thing you’ve ever owned, but it can also be a real pain in the ass to get it sometimes. Also, I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here to say that it’s more than a bit enjoyable to own something you can’t just pop into the middling retailer down the street and buy. You might have to work harder to get your hands on it, but in my experience, I’ve always found it worthwhile.
So anyway, just wanted to offer my two cents on that and say that I appreciate the work y’all do, and the patience you show from being constantly asked about stock updates (admittedly sometimes by me). And for people who demand reliable delivery schedules, it’s going to be tough for you. I say this with a loving wink — Iron Heart’s not for everyone.

With some of my other hobbies, sometimes the thrill of the "chase/hunt" of actually trying to get something is the most enjoyable experience, as once you get it you end up moving on to the next thing... Although with IH I do tend to appreciate it more when I have it in hand compared to other hobbies such as watches/comics I collect.

@Giles it is good enough for me.
Thank you for taking the time to explain.
I don’t mind the uncertainty on the production time. It is also part of the experience of buying IH.However once it has been shipped you can have a pretty good idea of when it should arrive (minding customs clearance time). This was my point. In this particular case I think the Easter break was the main factor for the last minute uncertainty. I should have taken this in consideration in my comment so I am sorry for this.
You need a good dealer in the Paris area !!!
Love

@Chillberg i assume your main concern is the waist? measure your pair the IH way. if this pair fits you well, look for the same dimensions in this pair. it'll shrink with the first wash, but will stretch out with wear to where it was before, maybe a tad more.
-
@Chillberg. I second Tody on this. In my case i take same tag size.

@SKT I got my first pair of the 634 cut today too, can't wait to wear them (for once I actually hope summer isn't too warm haha)
