Hopefully they sell well enough that larger sizes may become feasible. They are perfectly done, imo, but I would also need a larger size.

When are brands going to realize their customers aren't all Japanese sized?
That comment makes some major assumptions that really don’t apply here.
If you’re at all familiar with IH then you will know that they have jeans with up to 40” waists and 36” inseams, and shirt up to XXXXL. Not exactly typical Japanese sizing.
The reason these go up to 10 is mainly because they are made in small batches and are expensive to produce, so it makes economic sense to produce in the sizes that will sell in numbers.
While I’m sure IHUK would like to have a wider range and could sell a few size 13’s, producing lots of outlier sizes would still be a risk, especially in Japan, where this gear is made, after all.
Btw. I am over 6’ and take a size 10. Looking forward to picking up a pair of these.

It was my decision not to do larger and smaller sizes than the very limited size run we did, it had nothing to do with the Japanese. As is often the case, Haraki told me what he was going to run for Japan and gave me the opportunity to expand the size run for the west.
Often when we try something new, we limit our risk and exposure by not going long or deep. This is a business and we are doing our best to do our best.
Paula was, and still is, really pissed off that we did not do smaller (more Japanese?) sizes in either the high or the low tops, but just because she is co-owner of the business does not mean we should make risky business decisions to give her what she wants.
Most, if not all Japanese brands in our space have seen their revenues drop by close to 50% over the last 12 months, mainly due to the massive drop in demand in Japan. Ironheart has grown over the same period, mainly due to our growth outside of Japan. International now represents way more than Japanese domestic in terms of sales. That leads me to believe we are doing something right for the non-Japanese customer base.
But hey, what do I know.

Any chance of a restock on these in 2022?

I don’t think they were a great seller dude so probably not

@Danimal506 afraid not, but we do have a production run in place for the low top in wht/blk/ind
-
Darn okay. If anyone has a size 10 they don’t wear. Hit me up

Wish I could find a 8.5

Was sizing similar on these as the 01 low tops? I know they're made by different companies.
Same size as UK Chuck 70's is about the only input I see on this thread and the product page isnt accessible for me if it had more info. It looks like there werent half sizes either? Thanks in advance for the info! -
@pechelman this is the info from the product page (extinct will be back soon!)

I see that these have restocked on the Iron Heart Japan site. Will IHUK be getting these as well or is the restock Japan only?
-
Even I saw a post of Haraki flashing his third pair. Would be interested to know if IH UK will be getting these?
-
I’d definitely be down for a pair. Even tried to order off the Japan site but no international shipping. @Giles if you guys can get them from Japan I’d take a pair or two. Hopefully you guys will get some!
