IHF-2012 - 2012 Forum Tee

I knew I was gonna stir the shit with that one…
I figured it was a reasonable question to ask, what can I say. I wish I could say i was purely joking but i wasn't really. I'm still unsure as to the process and the effort (along with the exchange rate) that goes into making this T-shirt that makes it special, which is why I still can't justify spending the money on it right now. But like someone said, no one is forcing me to buy so its all good. I don't doubt that it is a solid T-shirt
As for me coming on here with only 2 posts and bitching about prices...I think if anyone should question the product, it would be a person who is new to the forums and who is unfamiliar with the product. I can't imagine someone with 1000+ posts, dressed head-to-toe in IH gear, to wake up one day and say, "hey i think these clothes might be a little over-priced, i think i should tell some people about it. haha obviously if you've made that many posts on here, you are fully committed hahaha...or you work for the company......
Anyway, with all that said, Im glad I purchased my 2 pairs of jeans at 400 a pair. I cant find this quality of jeans for any less anywhere else so...it is what it is.
I must say though, I get compliments all the time on my DC4s, and when people ask what kind of jeans they are and where to get them, i feel a little bad telling them cause when they go to look them up and see the price, most people will probably shit their pants and get depressed cause they cant bring themselves to spend that kind of money on jeans. I do tell them what they are though....and i wear mine with pride....
sorry im a dick...
Fuck yea! Iron Heart rocks!!!...seriously...its good stuff

just a few lines from me…
The stuff is not "over-priced" it have a price point, thats a huge difference.
All of the items are made in limited to very limited quantities what means that the production costs for each item are right away higher than for your usual brand stuff. For the tee, its a Loop Wheeled fabric, might wanna look around what other companies charge... Just to name two points.
Its for sure ok if you think thats too much money for a tee in general, but it is def not "over-priced"
have fun around and enjoy your jeans...

If I thought you were trolling, I wouldn't have responded at all to your question. It's reasonable to want to understand costs. Once you do, it hurts a little less to pay…

Go buy a Nike Loopwheeler tee for $65-$75 and tell me it's similar to IH. If Nike is priced similar, then H and G are doing their best to give us a good price.
I also couldn't believe the prices when I first copped IH, but once it was in my hands, well, look at my WAYWT pics, you get the picture.

Confession time.
I've never spent more than $40 on a t-shirt, and it's usually only about $20. I still manage to get stuff that fits me well, and I always go for plain/non-branded, but I'm sure the quality is not up there with FH, IH, et. al..
I'm living a strange contradiction in which i'm willing to spend ~$400 for IH jeans, $1000+ for jackets, and fair bit for shoes, yet hesistant to fork out much for a t-shirt. Sometime soon I'll have to loosen up and see if the extra cash is worth it! Maybe I'll never turn back….

I washed mine yesterday and wearing it today.. Somehow it feels different ; material and fit wise, as to pre wash.
Different like…much better?Am i making sense ?Or is it just me.
Found the answer
Shop ad says: These shirts must be washed before wear, in so doing the fabric will "bed-in" and become thicker and more durable. And to my own observation the print colour becomes more vibrant!!Also $65 for human hands producing loopwheel shirts, time and labour in abundance. Actually, you can understand why it is priced as such.

Truly, no one would ever notice if you didn't tell us you were going to do it.
