Back to the topic  Are these UK only? I don't remember seeing them nor the grey herringbone on the 2016 release chart. Don't want to miss out. |

No sign of the grey herringbone. That's a little later in the year |

I never really thought of Flannels as a Spring/Summer material.
More of a Fall/Winter.
Do you guys wear Flannel on warmer days?

These will not be worn during the summer, but parts of spring/fall and during the winter. With this release its not about matching seasons with purchases. Don't know when or if these'll be released later when season is right, so might as well get them now, and save them for when it cools down again, because they may not be available later in the year. |

I was just wondering if these are being offered as "Spring Flannels", as in its Spring and there being offered.?
Or is the fabric (weight, density, weave, etc) some how geared to a warmer day?

It's being labeled as "Spring Flannels" because in terms of Iron Heart these are a lightweight flannel at around 7-9oz (don't recall the exact weight off hand). This is still heavier than most flannels you can find on the market so for me this is easily a Winter Flannel as well. |

To be honest, I was playing Devil's Advocate when I raised this issue. After all, the conversation started around 1 shirt. brentkuz , I hope it is understood, my intent was not to single you out. You just happened to be the one to present the idea. Going deeper, I think it may be problematic, if others are of a similar mindset, or worse, purchase with the sole intent of turning for profit, without paying duties. Anyone with a computer could set up a half dozen Rakuten accounts, sit on the releases, purchase 1 or 2 items per account, avoid customs, and resell with no one the wiser. What if there are a number of people engaging in this behavior ? These items slow sales to the retailers doing legitimate business. Any retailer will tell you, if it's not being sold, it's costing them $. So, if one shirt is acceptable, where is the line drawn, then ? 2 ? 3 ? 10 ? I'm with ickes on this, I will avoid "that guy". Ultimately, this activity, whether it be 1 item, or 10, will result in IH pulling product from Japanese retailers selling internationally if they do not cease doing so. I can't speak for the rest of you. But, I'd sure like to keep that option open. The fact we are still able to buy direct tells me IH hasn't reached the breaking point, yet. But, how much more will they take ? Hell, one of the students from the College I work at setup a company called Backpack with the entire idea being that people traveling from places like Japan, China, etc. would buy an item someone requested and bring it back to the US (or many other countries) and avoid customs. They are basically taking advantage of the $800 (or whatever) that you are allowed to bring back when you travel to another country before having to declare. Of course the idea is that the items are for you or gifts for family. As far as I know the buyer pays a small fee to the person bringing the item back in addition to the items cost. So if Rakuten shuts down I'd just start looking at Backpack an asking people traveling to Japan to buy the items and bring them back. |

@untucked that is what I told them and the Director of Entrepreneurship (I am so sick of this being the next big thing on college campuses), but they claim they ran it through legal council. Maybe it is legal for them since they are just connecting the buyer and "seller" but not actually doing any of the transport? I guess it is like Uber not having to worry about any of the regulations for Taxi services since they are just connecting people with cars with people that need a ride but aren't providing the cars.

Possibly true... But, definitely the act itself is illegal. I would be worried that my $800 whatever gets confiscated by customs.

Looks like there are a few of these websites around. |

Just received my 141. Definitely fitted, albeit on the small side by a tad. Not gonna be able to wear this with the weather like this. Probably better for 60 degrees and below. Can't fit much more than a tee under however. I might just go ahead and sell this.
