I love the idea of flannels but from almost any supplier they seem to stick to colourways that don't work for me - high contrast, high chroma, primary colours, indigo. Maybe this is a function of the workwear roots and it's hubris for me to expect them to cater to my purely fashion needs but the feeling is that flannels are all designed by guys who already like and wear flannels. I can certainly find tees and jackets that work for me!
"We were going a bit too Heavy on flannel shirts for some time" Translation: "We are jumping on the cheap stuff bandwagon, but hoping that you don't notice the quality changes now that the yuppies have discovered our work shirts, and are just throwing money our way.
Alex is referring to the number of shirts being released in the collection, which is totally unrelated to quality. In previous seasons, we feel we've oversaturated the range by offering a wide variety of colourways across both western and work shirt styles. For FW24, we've chosen to streamline the collection by limiting the number of colours available in each cut. However, a smaller selection does not reflect any compromise in quality. We hope this helps clarify any concerns!
why haven't you tried using zimbabwe cotton which is also hand picked and popular with a lot of Japanese brands for its quality.because from what I understand the techniques you will use are the same but you are gonna be using let me put it this way, more cost effective materials, cause lets face it Zimbabwe cotton is 3 times the price of American cotton so are the American cotton flannels gonna be cheaper?iron heart flannels are the best in the market for two main reasons. the way they are made and because you are using aspero cotton. as a fan of iron heart flannels I really hope this is not an end of an era.
I'm an American cotton farmer and cotton is about 70cents a pound. I don't think the cost of any cotton would be cost prohibitive in a $300 shirt. They can probably use any cotton they want and wouldn't change the cost of shirt.
@michaelfrabotta7772 Fine with me. It's just a silly TH-cam handle. It means nothing. They are promoting death as their company symbol/mascot and I'm curious as to why? It seems strange, doesn't it? I'm just asking a question.
such a shame you stopped using the rare cotton from South America .. Yet still charge the HUGE premium for the shirt ... Why you don't change the price is beyond me ... the way this brand does things is weird and annoying

The colors are quite unique. Not something I would wear.
Appreciate the streamline focus brother! 🔥
These look incredible. :) Do you plan on making a video of the 21oz sashiko workshirt? I really want to see that one.
We covered that shirt in one of our "New Releases" short videos - but as it's now sold out, we won't be making any more vids on it, sorry!
The American cotton flannel is noticeably lighter than Aspero in terms of weight per inspection in store
Thank you!

If you think that we are in the business of cutting costs to increase profit, you don't know the brand very well.
@@ironheartdenim i didn't say that, if I thought that I wouldn't buy your flannels.

What's with the skull? Is that really the symbol you want for your Co.? Death. You want death to be your Co. symbol?
Want your name to broadcast your alcohol focus? That you hunt down your next beer?

Shirts for skinny dudes.
