IHSH-101tg - Ultra Heavy Turquoise/Grey Buffalo Check Western Shirt
-
@Giles Wasn't this shirt doomed from the start? Wasn't the color different from what you'd envisioned in the first place? Either way, I'm so sorry to hear that you've found yourself in this unenviable position. That sort of decision is never an easy one to make, but you know it's the only decision to make. I remember sitting in the now closed Apple Bar in NYC with you, and you made me take my shirt off to show me the inside. You told me that the finishing is perfect on the inside and that the shirt would look just as good worn inside-out. I'll never forget that, and the level of pride that it showed me about Iron Heart and its products. I know it sucks, but I applaud you for maintaining that level of excellence. I always say, and I firmly believe, that you can't teach people pride.

Thanks for the measurements Giles, will come in handy when deciding what to replace it with! For what it's worth, i think i had a bad one too. With mine the panel in the middle of the shirt with the poppers on it (am sure there's a more technical term for it) was wonky and didn't seem straight. Possibly other issues, but didn't examine much closer than that.
Bit bummed it's going back, but applaud the decision to recall.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Got mine today, and I'm having a real hard time finding any fault to it. The pockets are perfectly aligned, the check pattern matches across the placket, the stitching is OK, the felled seams are fine. I've also compared to IHSH-87, and IHSH-107 and the quality is identical. The back panel doesn't match with the front, but that has been the case for every UHF I've had.
I assume I'm allowed to keep it, yes?

That's awesome @FurattoHeddo
Yeah, I'm still a bit confused about the "back not lining up" as I can not find any images of other UHFs with the back and front side seam matching up perfectly. I can understand if the front pockets are severely misaligned or the placket is weird. -
@FurattoHeddo for the win!!!!!!!!

@urbanwoodsman keeping fingers crossed for your shirt…
@superfuzz looks like it! -
Haraki and I want these shirts back, so whatever you think is a moot point I am afraid. They are not as good as we make them, we do not want them in circulation. We are pulling them all back from retailers and I have even ripped the 102tg that @Axel was in love with, off his back.
Paula and Matt are processing refunds and return shipping labels.
This is not a pleasant task we are having to undertake, so please just work with us guys.

Been re-examining the stitching on the front placket, and it doesn't entirely run in a straight line… Didn't notice it when wearing the shirt, but it is more noticeable when the shirt is laid down on a flat surface.
What an effin' shame though, the fabric is gorgeous...

A short romance I had with that shirt..
But as much as I love this shirt and as much work as we had with shipping them out to you all as fast as possible (even working throughout the weekend), they just don't deserve to be out there. I must say though, it makes me incredibly proud to be interning at a company with that kind of attitude.

Our latest position on this:
We haven’t made any firm decisions yet, but hoping that the fabric will be remade and the shirt released again, but not yet set in stone and timeframe is likely to be end of 2015 or early 2016. Anyone who bought a shirt this time around will get opportunity to reserve/order first, that’s only fair.
Sorry we can’t give more definite info, but we have several other heavyweight cotton flannels due to be released this autumn, so we need to speak to Haraki-san and work out a sensible plan.
We can assure you, when we have news, it will be published here and we’ll contact all those who ordered and got disappointed.

Just a thought, maybe take some of the ones that don't have the quality issues and dip them in indigo!
Giles says "that's not altogether a stupid idea…!"
