Got blocked by Simmons Bilt Instagram because my comment

[Hammerklavier]

Just want share something interesting with you guys.

Few days ago, they posted close shot on their Modena veg horsehide, and I commented it's looks almost like naked cowhide, and now I got blocked by them on Instagram, and my comment got deleted.

Strange. A comment of "looks ALMOST LIKE" shouldn't be cause for alarm or offense.

Unless there's something more behind the scenes. Do you believe that it's actually cowhide?

that's weirdly sensitive and petty imo. not good on the PR

If this shocks anyone here who's been around a while, well...

It does look like cowhide. But then again, new Vicenza looks like cowhide to me.

Boy, the hipsterdom on their instagram is off the charts.

 

[jacketjunkie]

I can only assume they mistook you for a troll who wanted to intentionally pick a fight and wanted to stop it right at the start.

In retrospect, they should have rebranded themselves as "H&L BLOCK."..

It took me a few seconds to get their sensitivity on this. Funny.

Yes the big beards and fades are ruling the day over there. Let's not forget the obligatory pipe as well. Although I have to say, I've never seen a pic of Debs before...she's good looking...for some reason not at all what I would've pictured.

Not her - I think it's a pic of someone who works over at Aero. Sorry, when you can't help yourself, you just can't

Imagine what would have happened if you commented that the pattern looks familiar.

 

[Sloan1874]

Haha! Yeah, this seems to be Iron Heart country. The horror, the horror.

Price aside, that's the one thing that always kept me arm's-length from IH gear. Seriously.

 

[Sloan1874]

Know what you mean. Funnily enough, I tried on a pair of IH 23oz jeans at the Aero sale last year and they were pretty unspectacular in cut and doing the buttons up was a nightmare. I was not standing in the changing room thinking, 'these are worth all the £££ that IH want. Bought a pair of Lee archive jeans, lighter (easy to button up) and great fit and colour - the only jeans I've bought recently that had somebody compliment me on! Seriously mulling another pair soon, though maybe a different pattern.

 

[ButteMT61]

Yep. I still have Gustin 18, 21 and 23oz, and they just fit me great. Only beef is the leg openings, which are too wide on the standard cut. But...they work perfectly with western boots so I'm still hunting for some denim that fits, with a narrower lower leg...

 

[Sloan1874]

I've been wearing my Gustins again, recently. They were good value for what they were, though I doubt I'll buy any more pairs - the fit was weird on last couple of pair, skinny but not in a good way.

From my standpoint...There is no such thing as skinny in a good way.

Once seen, can never be unseen...

I dunno man. Looking around at the younger kids these days. Even the gym gear. Drop crotch, tapered leg sweat pants?? Man bun and grizzly Adams beard?!? I guess this is what it means to be old.

 

[dudewuttheheck]

lol, what a joke. Stuff like this is why I don't deal with Alexander or Iron Heart anymore. I had an Alexander/IH and returned it... I stand by that.
