I have always wanted to do a minitruck build inspired by denim. Natural leather for upholstery, ages with wear. Denim for the door cards. Contrast stitching. Copper steering wheel and shift nob. Maybe a deep metallic indigo blue paint with white rims and red brake calipers.

I haven't bought anything from Iron Heart in many years, but still get their emails. In their latest blast, they mention they're going to cover all duty fees associated with purchases made by US customers. Duty fees could be anywhere from 10% - 50%. I've got to say, this is pretty huge and kudos to IH for taking this on.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Their standard international markup is high enough that they should still be taking in plenty. Even if every other brand’s international partners did pass the tariffs directly on to customers, IH would still be one of the more expensive options, relative to domestic pricing

Proxy service World Shopping stopped shipping to USA temporarily.

edit: Japan Post.  DHL is fine for now it looks like.

 

I finally found the TCB jacket and ordered this past weekend to avoid tariffs. Now this 😭 It was accepted EMS on 8/26 so we’ll see what happens.

Agree, but it’s not like they have to do this. I thought it was still a pretty cool thing for them to take on.
