Iron Heart Nagoya

I am very happy to pay a markup to IHUK because without them I would not have the slightest clue how to buy their products. I have tried shopping the Japanese websites for items from brands like Buzz Rickson and Lee Japan. It has proven to be a frustrating waste of time and that’s why I am glad that IHUK exists. Awesome customer service in my language and super fast shipping make it all worthwhile for me.

Couldn’t agree more.

As for pricing, it’s all relative. Some people would think it’s nuts to spend $1500 on a leather jacket

Iron Heart would not be the strong brand it is today without the marketing of Iron Heart International. Their prices are comparable to Freenote, Stevenson, Mister Freedom, Flat Head, etc. and the product is as good. I see this as well operating relationship between manufacturer and sales team more than a party being greedy. This is how business works. If you want to highlight greed, look at the markup Starbucks does on beans.

Yeah yeah I know all about the IRON HEART ARMY.

Theres a Dean Delray podcast out there where he talks to the guy from the UK based wing of Ironheart (Giles?) - it's quite illuminating and I have to say didnt endear me to the company. They have got some nice bits, Im wearing an IH shirt right now in fact, but they are wayyy overpriced and the people on their forums etc who obsess about 'fades' and dress like theyre in some kind of ultra-heavyweight denim armour/uniform are such dorks, and the absolute opposite of cool dressing.

We are also dorks

 

[BloodEagle]

Well yeah, but not that kind of dork
