@Denman-John No we don't do Black Friday sales, generally we just do one sale annually, which was earlier in the year

@Denman-John said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:
Will there be a Black Friday or any other Iron Heart sale coming up soon?
No on both counts.
Dislike the Black Friday shit with a passion. I did it once or twice in the early days because I thought it had to be done. Then I realised I did not need to be part of an artificial construct. Does not mean we wont move some stuff into the Outlet if we feel like it.
We have sales when it makes sense to us, we need to make space, want to have some fun in an otherwise quiet period etc etc
And we never announce more than a couple of days in advance, otherwise we may as well do a general price reduction.

Roger, @motojobobo have you ridden this? Forgive me if you have already told us....

@Giles That bit of curvy road is known as Caracoles. It is a 30 km stretch of 29 curves taking you up (down) 600 meters. 2200 to 2800 meters. Terrific fun but those 3 km fly by too quickly. Very steep incline. Averages 20%!!! Hell for heavy trucks, especially descending, where they cannot use disk brakes and must rely on engine braking/lowest gear.
Enjoyment hinges on luck too. If you happen to hit heavy truck traffic, it becomes annoying. Happens frequently because it links Santiago (Chile) with Mendoza (Argentina), two big cities with significant commercial cargo between them.
If you remember the classic car rally I shared here a month ago…they went through Caracoles.
Btw, caracoles means snails…so I assume it -
@JoshC @sabergirl solid points for sure, especially if the 25oz tote is super full. Adjustable would be so sick!
-
…it must refer to the continual spiral on the shell? A Fibonacci sequence for the math guys!
-
@motojobobo I thought you were going to say it was named after snails because everything has to go so slowly.

@Oaktavia There’s a company called www.killboy.com that photographs people on that road every day,and you can purchase your pictures from them. These are 2 I had framed from 2006.

Thanks! Right now, I’m wearing the IH 666 XHS daily for work, Monday to Friday, and it’s been 10 months with no rotation. I’ve been thinking about either the 888s or the 888XHSib. I’m super interested in the 21oz IH, but the XHSib also seems really cool. Sorry for rambling haha

@MQR If you like XHS you'll likely feel similarly towards a pair of XHSib. They are amazing denim, my absolute favorite that IH makes, and I highly recommend giving them a try.
