Was searching for more info on that Red W when I found this forum/thread.
I know it's a detail that Iron Heart jeans are known for and many like it.. but personally I dislike the Red W. For one it just kinda throws off the look of the back of the jeans. It's also confusing - What does the W mean? Why a W? Why not an "IH"?
Also, it's identifiable and I'd prefer everyone not know how expensive my clothing items are. I think carefully removing it with a seam ripper is a good option to remove it.
Great brand/maker and the products are nice.
