      IHV-02 variant with the back in black duck and the front in 21/19/14oz OD denim. Same hardware as the IHV-04 but if you go with the copper instead, I’m ok with that too [emoji1]

        You might be on to something.

            I forgot to mention the od’ed 18oz used on the IHSH-178. That’s an obvious option.

            If I was going to spec it exactly as I wanted I’d go for the 21oz overdyed denim. As I now have both the IHV-30’s and the IHV-04, 21oz vests are my new normal. I’d also go for silver coloured nickel on all the hardware to make Good Art pimpery that much easier.

              That's a tough one, I don't think retailers would pick it up.  That makes it a risky call….

              Going by the ratio of workshirts to westerns, I'm guessing workshirts don't sell so well.  Is that right?

                How about a pocketless corduroy Type III for FW19?

                As much as I like the streamlined and classic look of a pocketless type III (or other designs), I have a feeling they'll be pretty limited going forward. Modified versions just seem to sell better, and people are used to pockets. Hell, even type IIs are better w/ pockets IMO.

                  They don’t sell as well as westerns, certainly. Some individual models have sold very quickly (the IHSH-131, IHSH-118 and the workshirt version of the IHSH-170 all spring to mind). The IHSH-68 and IHSH-21 are core classics so continue to sell also. But you’re essentially right in that IHUK shifts many more units in the western style than in the work shirt style.

                  This to my mind is a bummer as I like both models but feel some patterns and fabrics are better suited to westerns and vice versa. I see a lot of westerns, especially UHF’s, that I would much prefer as a work shirt.

                          Though the 180 and the 206 probably get the most compliments (both western).

                            It's a toss up between the 215 and 102tg, for me. Had they made the 215 in the green variant, as well, it would be in my closet, too.

                                I’d really like to see some sort of variation on the IHW-06.
                                I’m torn between plain color or pattern (I am partial to the buffalo patter).

                                I think it would be amazing with some military accents such as epaulettes. And some horsehide leather elbow patches would be and amazing addition…

                                You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

                                  How about a variant of the ihsh-211 but in indigo?  i'd get rid of the western yokes, make it indigo and throw on a natural cord collar

                                    Also, has IH ever done a whipcord M65? Would whipcord even work as an M65 or would that be an anachronism?

                                      It hasn’t been done. I’m not sure how it would turn out.

                                          yeah, i'm not sure how it would turn out either. Whipcord is such a stiff fabric and one of the things I appreciate about my ihm-20 is how soft it is. Curious if whipcord would restrict movement or cause problems during the manufacturing process
