@shubharamani:
But I agree with Till about one thing – the whole limited run strategy of higher dollar SEXIH07 products is a marketing strategy !
I get quite worked up when i read this on forums. This couldn't be further from the truth.
We have to meet minimums, let's say the minimum order of jeans is 150, and let's say that costs a store about $30,000. We have to pay that all at once, to successfully run a business you should be able to flip that product within a certain number of days. Once we sell out, if we want more we have to order another 150 pairs.. you see where this is going? It's limited because factories have order minimums, so if it's a custom product for one store it can't always be in production unless you're a large corporation which can have very large sums of money tied up in stock of a SINGLE product. -
well - I would assume it's the same material as the jeans pocket bags…Lando - do u agree
Correct.

@tfar:
I also reckon that the members here are highly fashion conscious and very conscious of the image they give. So when I warn of the jeans suit, it is from experience. I tried and wouldn't want any of my fellow IH lovers to be exposed to the same ridicule. But, that again is subjective. On Lando the jeans suit might look fantastic and on me like crap. It's just good to be aware of the possibility that it might look not so hot. I can only hope that this caution is seen as constructive the way it intended to be seen.
Jeans suit aka the Canadian tuxedo. Hard to pull off indeed. Sure I wouldn't be able to. I'll stick to leather jackets.
Thanks for your posts Till. Don't let anyone deter you from giving us your point of view at any time!..

Being a forum, the good and bad and our likes and dislikes regarding Iron Heart should be freely discussed.
Since Giles obviously has a financial stake in the brand, I give him lots of credit for operating an open forum where negative comments could potentially harm his business.

DrPat. Thanks. Yes, sometimes I cringe when I see a post, but on balance I'd like to hear the negativity and try and address it (if poss), than let it fester in the ether. And I consider all feedback useful, I think it will serve to make me, and Iron Heart as a whole, better at giving you all what you want and how you want it. And if we can't, then crap we shouldn't be doing this in the first place…..

WARNING - Sorry for the upcoming novel. If you only care about the SExIH07BKIII and think that this other conversation is trash… Please proceed to the next comment. Cheers!
shub - Thank you for all of your compliments, but this "hypermania" you speak of surrounding the Overdyed products is a bit of a stretch IMO. Everyone who is on this forum should by now be aware that collaborations of any type are going to be limited runs. You either like the item and purchase it or you don't. Also IMHO.
You are great by the way! I enjoy the smiles and general cheerfulness you bring to the forum!tfar - I do have a short temper, but this was not an instance of that at all. For your information, I am neither startled nor do I have thin skin. Thank you for the compliment of the fit of the jacket and peace to you my brotha! As for the comment about putting Haraki-San in a "God-like position", I have never projected anything to that effect. I may have jokingly said things about "not being worthy" and what not, but I do not look at any man in that light.
I am excited to see the outcome of home version of the Overdye process! What denim/ ink/ process were you planning on using or have you not gotten that far?
Despite what some may think, I do enjoy EVERYONES opinions on this forum. I also use comparison shopping when making decisions on purchasing pretty much anything unless I am being rushed in a store buying a water and some gum. You catch my drift. So please don't think that I am referring to that.
This is the quote that "bothered" me.
@tfar:Anyways, really nice looking jacket. Looks very similar to an old Lee I have from the 80s. For the price though, or a bit more, you can get into a Schott or Aero leather jacket or into a nice Filson wool cruiser. Both would look equally good with jeans or perhaps even better. I always felt that a jeans suit is really hard to be pulled off and worn correctly, that is without looking ridiculous, especially in an urban environment. You do what you want on the ranch in Montana.
I feel like you are kind of shitting on the thread by stating this. It seems to me that there is a better way to go about recommending alternative products. For instance you could start a thread called "Alternatives to Denim Jackets" or something along those lines, you could PM the other member with a recommendation, or even post in a previously started thread that is more specific to your topic. These are just my ideas and thoughts on how to go about this particular issue.
And by the way, there is nothing wrong with a Canadian Tuxedo (No disrespect)! As for being ridiculed??? That has not happened since I was in grade school. I wear what I like and FTW if they don't like it.
All that being said, PLEEAAASSSSSEEEEEE let's get back to denim, and Iron Heart Denim at that! -
One more thing. Kiya and LandoCal – thanks for clearing up my understanding of limited run collaborations. I misunderstood...and I thank you for correcting me. Don't get me wrong. I'm salivating over the SEXIH07BK products. Seriously. I'm dying over here, cuz they're insanely lovely.

I don't mean to re-open a wound here‚ but as I have never been involved in a forum before‚ what is the etiquette of does and don'ts ? I have no 'axe to grind' on the earlier banter but I hope we have not lost any valued members due the exchange of opinions. As we say England "it's just a storm in a tea cup" !

The rule as I have learned after many years of being on forums is don't say anything to anyone you wouldn't say to the biggest, baddest motherfucker in the bar holding a shotgun in one hand and a bottle of JD in the other
I soo agree, ROFL etc…
Having see some some of the bitchiest forum tantrums over the years I would say that this forum is a paragon of virtue. Nothing worse than 10 ten pages of hand bags at dawn...
