In todays New York Times,style section,there’s an article entitled “No Room for America Left in Those Jeans” It starts off being about the closing of the Cone Denim White Oak Plant,and it’s significance,eventually talking about Japanese denim,with Iron Heart and The Flat Head being the 2 brands mentioned,with links to both companies supplied. Speaking of links I know I should have supplied one to the article, but I’m in a hurry to go somewhere. Maybe someone else can post it.

That article is good but I find that guy quoted and his website (A Continuous Lean) to be really gross.

"America may have invented bluejeans, but Japan turned them into a religion. Ultra-premium Japanese brands like Iron Heart and the Flat Head have reverse-engineered the all-American Brando-biker-rebel aesthetic to such a convincing degree that they might as well be sewn in Milwaukee, alongside the Harley-Davidson plant."
While this is meant to be a compliment, IMHO I would argue IH has not "reverse-engineered", but rather, re-invented to such a degree that it flat out blows away any fabric or construction of jeans made here in the US (with all due respect to ethically made US jeans) or pretty much anywhere.

“As much as the Trump administration is touting ‘America First,’ we believe we live in a global world, and provenance is becoming less important,” said Michael Maher, a founder of Taylor Stitch, which is based in San Francisco.
This quote is rich. Provenance isn't important? Dude, you pushed your entire brand on 'made in America,' but now you're getting a lot of your stuff made in Portugal and China. What a hypocrite.

Provenance is only important to those who think it's important, just like anything else. However, if you make it a cornerstone of your marketing then say it isn't important you will suffer some serious credibility issues.

to be fair, even though the clothing we buy can't be compared to priceless antiquities I do believe that provenance is important. I certainly don't speak for anyone here but one of the reasons I like IH is because of where they're made and who is making them.
