Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?

[Giles]

Try me. Gosport is the wettest, windiest place I have ever lived.....

[DeeDee85]

@Giles worse than Manchester?!

[Giles]

Dunno, never stayed in Manchester for any length of time....

[DeeDee85]

@Giles I think most of the UK is pretty grim at the minute isn’t it, I work on roofs so maybe see a little too much of the wet stuff through the winter.. still hoping to make it to the party so fingers crossed we can continue this very English conversation about who gets the worst weather in person

[Tago Mago]

@Giles too wet and windy?

Explains why Alex Thompson and his boat was based out of Gosport.

I really don't mind the rain, but sometimes the constant wind can get to me........

In the UK, our prevailing winds are south-westerlies coming in off the Atlantic. So the wind is predominantly wet and when it hits land and rises, it dumps.

South-westerlies get funnelled up the Solent.......This is now and the white dot is us......

The winds are very light at the mo, which is good as we are taking SAKURA away for a couple of days with friends....

Let’s od some 18 oz vintage.

@Matt Self Edge still has a few pairs of OD 18v 633s in stock, I got a pair from the marketplace last month, and they're really starting to come into their own now!

I’d love to see an indigo dyed 1610L.

[Matt]

Thanks!

I was coming here to suggest an indigo dyed 1600 11 oz tee.

@DeeDee85 I also work on roofs and this last 6 months in the UK has been somewhat challenging it’s been the wettest 6 months I can remember!

[Kasi]

Well put this way winter hasn’t been bad compared last to year in UK..

[DeeDee85]

@jiminstitches 100% …. I’ve managed to work through most of it as it’s been relatively mild hasn’t it but certainly the wettest I can remember. If the temperatures were lower I think I’d have been doing 2 or 3 day weeks at best!

[Mizmazzle]

@bluemantra YES!!

Given how s**t most umbrellas are (even the ones that claim to be the ‘strongest’)…

IH Umbrella ️ ?

A mixture of cordura/primaloft/brass/other lovely stuff that helps it do its job.
Complete with duck sleeve??

“Only Good Umbrellas Endure Time”

I know…. I know….
I’m in a waiting room.

At the risk of disloyalty to IH, may I suggest https://www.foxumbrellas.com/ - these things are strong and they offer repairs.

Again with a plug for the Work Jacket, this time it’s “herringboner” but OD. Anything coming back with this pattern anytime?

Separate thought… OD on other stuff? Duck OD? gimme an OD duck work jacket ️

[Matt]
