SExIH07IIIBK (Self Edge x Iron Heart Type III Modified)[OG]

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...

It's all good guys. You heard what I had to say and I heard what you had to say. I guess we understand each other.
Lando, you'll be able to follow the overdye experiment in the Cheap Jeans thread I started. I found a seller of a natural indigo dyeing kit. That's what I'll use. I didn't want to go as far as to collect the weed and make my own indigo as one of the guys on superfuture's denim forum. I have washed the jeans in question once so far just to get rid of any shrink or excess dye or starch. They basically didn't change at all except for a little starch being washed out and the material being softer now. Expect results in late spring only, unfortunately.
