Another price reduction.

@FlavourFade

It has already existed, in both the ‘standard’ and ‘modified’ forms, as I recall.

Yes, a very nice jacket.

I had a quick run through at double speed. The first 9 minutes are unrelated babble, so i suggest skipping that, but it gets interesting for a while thereafter. IH mentioned at about 16 minutes.

Overall the story sounds pretty similar to what’s been said in various threads here, i.e. production is limited by machines and labour, while demand has increased massively. Also, the Japanese way of doing business and communicating is quite different to the western way.

An interesting listen overall.

@Giles
He’s absolutely spot-on.

@Anesthetist said in Random Rants:

I am pretty sure my Stevensons have angled loops at the back and it can be a pain to get my belt through them. The look doesnt bother me as much as the extra trouble.

I’d have to go back and look, but I’m pretty sure that my first pair of IronHeart’s the DC 4001 had an offset loop for comfort.

Interesting. I didn’t remember it ever featuring on IH.

On the upside, the angled loops have saved me buying a few pairs of jeans over the years; things that I otherwise would have picked up. I guess that’s a sign of how spoilt for choice we are these days - it really is a golden era.

I might have an unhealthy obsession with belt loop aesthetics….. I really love the heavily ridged ones that sone brands do. I’ve been loving wearing a pair of Strike Gold lately, featuring the most beautifully defined belt loop ridges.

Possibly, i don’t know much about Evisu. Denime and SDA do it a fair bit, and i’ve seen it occassionally on a few others such as Flat Head.

Now for something completely different….

Offset or angled rear belt loops: I just can't deal with the aesthetic, and could never wear jeans with them.

Whenever i see them, I just wanna straighten them up….dammit.

So petty, i know.

@Alex
Thanks for the reply. Must be a case of distorted memory. Beautiful denim anyway.

I recently acquired some effectively new (ie unworn or washed) 25oz IH jeans. The denim feels softer and less dark than i recall. That said, my last pair of 25oz was over 10 years ago.
I suspect the difference is in my memory or perception, but curious to know if there has been any change in recipe over the last decade or so?

Great news, “Two Dads” Padmore!

I hope these sell out fast, otherwise i’ll probably end up buying one.

Price reduction.

Very nice indeed.

Cheers for the explanation, Ross.

It’s one of those situations of “once you know where to look” it’s fairly clear, but for newer viewers perhaps it isn’t obvious. In a way you (IHUK) are a victim of your own diligence, by providing so much product info on each page.

I feel for you guys in this forum patiently fielding restock questions day after day.

@goosehd
The product restock info is great, and could be more effective if given a more prominent position and/or not requiring a size selection before appearing.

I fully endorse Haraki’s dietry “requirements”!

Continuing the ash and maple theme, here’s my “Blackmore” style partscaster.
