    Y'all make pillow covers from UHF so might as well add to the housewares collection with napkins made from things like hickory, Wabash, chambray, 11oz tee material, and of course xhs. Include a button hole (or a snap ?) on one corner to wear as a bib and brand them with the red W.

            There’s this dude I’ve seen at the MD ren fest and on IG: wheel walker stunts, Ichabod, wears iron heart. He’s awesome. I thought of him when I saw that typed out, like Ixhsibod or something. Collab! lol

              Paging @Nik, the resident self overdye alchemist. Perhaps he's done something along these lines?

                I’ve stuck to 21oz, but what might be good about dyeing heavier weights is that the dye might penetrate the fibres less, yielding better fades with wear.

                    Agreed. Would be nice to see a handful of once made items return. Given the extensive catalog and forum demand of sought-after classics, how amazing would it be to have an entire collection devoted to remakes? If it goes to a vote, top of my list would be the IHSH-260-PPL.

                      We do remakes and reruns of old classics from time to time, but we can't even keep decent stock levels of our constant items. Capacity is seriously limited so what we do make is a juggling game

                        It would be nice to see back IHSH-295-IB with the same snap buttons

                        Generally speaking, once on the IH website there was a page named "Extinct Items" where could be found literally tons of very cool products which for some reason were discontinued. The page is gone for a good while now but I'm pretty sure it could be an excellent guide for those of customers looking for
                        oldy goldy IH stuff. In my humble opinion it would be better alternative to attempts of trying to reinvent the IH wheel

                          @Giles what are the factors that limit the stock levels of Continuous Production items Giles? Is it primarily the nature of the garments being high quality, the materials being high quality, quality = time, etc? Or other significant factors as well?

                            Our stuff is hard to make. For instance, any Tom Dick or Harry can make a pair of lightweight jeans, but as you move up the weight scale the sewing (well even the saving) gets exponentially more difficult. The same applies to any type of garment really. So the number of workshops that can actually make our stuff to the quality we demand is really limited. We therefore can't make what we want in the volumes we would like, so we have hard decisions to make all the time. Nothing in this world is black and white but at the margin, these are the 2 extremes. Let's make sure we have a good supply of continuous production products continually, then we have no space for seasonal products or let's have shit loads of seasonal products, then we have no space to make continuous products.

                              @long_john86 All of the above.

                              People on the floor operating and maintaining the machinery, to the cutters and sewing crews putting the items together. The high quality of the products is definitely a factor when you think about the training needed to produce what we love. Materials such as the aspero cotton used in the UHF’s is also limited and you can only make what the farmers can grow. Sure that stands for many of the materials needed.

                              Also have to take into account the exponential growth and demand experienced over the last decade. When I first started down this rabbit hole there were only small handfuls of us fighting over very small amounts of product available. The items often sold out in minutes and very rarely over a day or two. Now you guys have multiple choices in sizes and enough product to satiate that demand. Taking into account the numbers of people wearing and wanting IH has grown means the number of products out there has increased dramatically.

                              The IH community has grown, demand has grown, resources are limited. Machinery, personnel, materials, expertise, time…

                                Sounds extremely complex with a lot of factors at play. Thanks for the insight both. Is there adequate safeguarding of the skills (artisanal, technical, craft) to future-proof production down the line? I suppose I’m comparing to a traditional craft skill, many of which are on their knees because there is no uptake on apprentices to facilitate intergenerational transmission / the next generation taking on the mantle.

                                  The generational shift away from "traditional" crafts is one of our largest challenges.

                                      @Giles I suppose there is also the creative side to it as well? The balance between tradition (Continuous Production) and innovation (the creation of new products). Clearly there is a ridiculous amount of creativity and design genius that goes into the products. With that level of design talent I’m sure it must sometimes be challenging to choose a continuous production item over the production of a new creative idea or interpretation? Creative people needing creative outlet etc…
                                      What is the general feeling towards the notion of revival runs of IH ‘classics’? Too much of a slave to history, or welcomed in principle?

                                        I think that we all love the idea, but as I said we have to balance what we do.

                                          Also have to consider what you call a classic. Your, mine, and everyone’s else’s opinion on that will not be the same.

                                          How to approach it where everyone will be happy would be very difficult. It’s hard to make everyone happy now 🙂
