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

[MikeC]

Please do not waste next years ultra heavy flannel on buffalo check.  I would like original design and original fabric, not just original fabric.  The IHSH-51 design is next level, probably the heaviest flannel produced besides the IHSH-20 and the flannel design is amazing.  The hand and weight of the 51 is amazing, more please.

[Sugar Mountain]

I share your love for the 51 and wear it all the time. However, there was unrivalled demand for a new buffalo check ultra heavy flannel and people got what they asked for. If you value the channel to communicate your wants to Giles and Haraki, you can't really complain when they come back with a product that people have requested time and time again.

[MikeC]

My problem is that Haraki's creativity was put on hold because everyone wanted the 72. Were the 32 and 51 standard/traditional fair like the 72 design, nope.  If you wanna keep debating, head over to Random Rants…

PS I like debating...

I pretty much am excited for any heavy weight flannel every year.  I hope to see more solid colors in the future as well.    Otherwise I am always excited to see what the master comes up with, just for curiosity's sake.  I like to let him do his thing and if I want it…I buy it.  If I don't like it then my bank account says thanks!

I definitely want to see another 52 like flannel with hand pockets that's less/not brushed. And obviously new colors.

My personal choice for next years heavy flannel would be to echo some of the crazy 70's wool flannels produced by Woolrich, JC Penney and the likes. Some of those patterns were amazing, and definitely "of their era", I would love to see Haraki's take of a true 70's style heavy flannel.

I'm talking patterns similar to….

Ya!  I would love to see some wool flannel shirts!  Heavy oz!!!

[emceeQ]

^that.  Wool flannels would be awesome!

[Giles]

I popped in here a few weeks ago and got some washed Riever.  Washed to take all the shrinkage out of the loom state tartan.  It is a 2 yard sample of that that I took to Haraki to weave his magic…...

[unharmed]

Holy shit. Haraki with his hands on Lochcarron gear blows my mind.

[simonc]

If you roll back a few pages you will see i proposed a machine washable wool mix shirt that G seems to think would be doable.

[Megatron1505]

Wool, with some crazy 70's patterns would be great.

25 oz raw version of this:

for my new appartment.

[grandmasterben]

You better be okay with parting with some organs to fund that…:D

Haha, true that.. I guess my dream of a 25 oz, indestructible sofa has to be put on hold

[Giles]

Not practical - the indigo transfer from the 25oz is incredible.

Ah, that is a really good point.

I'm actually thinking about buying a sofa with removable covering and buying 20-25 meters of denim material, sewing my own.
