So why exactly are these so expensive? The leather. hardware, or…? I have no problem paying premium $ for premium goods, ( i own sugarcane, sorrenson, tanner, crescent down, to name of few) but these seem to be way overpriced. At least twice what they should. Honestly, it's like someone was: "eh, we deservingly charge a lot for all our other stuff, we can do the same for this simple product, and no one will bat an eye!" I hope i'm not correct, but if so, it's pretty insulating.. You shouldn't do something just because you can.

Just curious, what's the reason for not taking pre-orders? Not wanting to deal with disgruntled customers when it gets delayed? Not knowing how many you'll be getting restocked, and not wanting to take orders you can't fill? Again just curious, I would love to just get it done and not have to worry about having one more thing to forget. Just get home from work one day; weeks, months, or even a year after buying it, and have an awesome surprise waiting for me on my doorstep. But oh well, it is what it is, no biggie.

This will be my first Iron Heart purchase! Also, the highest weight fabric i've experienced (last was some 14oz SC okinawas 5+ years ago.)

I'll probably just bookmark the order page and start checking it a few times a day once February rolls around..I never check my e-mail, except for when something I've ordered hasn't arrived within 3-4 weeks.

@Giles:

Mid Feb.

Complete the form if you want an email when they hit…

I've been signed up for awhile, i would like to just go ahead and pre pay for it though..

I'd like to see some quarter zip/button pullover work shirts, especially hickory, which seems to be a work-wear staple. A brown duck, and herringbone work shirt would be nice.

Can someone tell me when this is going to be restocked (size xl)?
