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

[CLJ]

How about a denim/leather backpack. Black leather mixed with some Superblack 21oz denim….got me thinkin now.

[seanocono]

^That would be awesome. Although – and just spitballing here -- I think it may be difficult convincing Dave to use denim. As tough as IH denim is, no denim is made to last 100 years (per the warranty they extend on all their products). Would it be practical to line the interior of the bag with denim? I know it wouldn't wipe down as easily, or be near a stiff as pigskin (which actually could have its benefits i.e. loosening up a bit sooner). I agree it would be great to incorporate denim somehow though.

Diverting from the Saddleback-related discussion for a moment, I'd like to see a SBG version of the IH-533.

a pea coat.
made of the insane super black denim.
paraffin coated & wool lined.

[riffblaster general]

a blanket lined version of the IHD 01 would be tasty.  I get a ton of use out of my normal one, i can only imagine a winterized version would see just as much use.

[tatmantall]

an IH-526J-TALL (as in 26 1/2 to 27" sleeves)….. I'm still not able to except that me and this Type III were not meant to be together forever.

My Sears vest is on its last leg. It has served me well in all seasons as an alternative to  Since Haraki has made a couple variations maybe one inspired by my own and the IHJ08 would fit in the IH line.

In superblack or sbg…Shit, I think I'd actually save up specifically for this piece.

I am sampling the "Leftie Trucker" atm.  This will have be made out of 18oz LHT, will have hand warmer pockets and will be 1" longer in the body and approx 1.5" longer in the arms than the IH-526J

[Sugar Mountain]

'Sampling' as in you have a product with you and could post pictures?

[Giles]

No, "sampling" as in a sample is being made.  We are still waiting for the 18oz LHT to come off the looms, but the first thing that will happen to it when it does is that the sample Leftie Trucker will be made…

[natehate]

interesting

[hajduk]

Very!

Ears perked!

Did I miss it, or have you mentioned any other plans for the 18oz LHT?  Say, a 634S-L, for instance?

[Giles]

You did not miss it.  But, I personally have no other plans for it, but part of that is because I am almost 100% certain that Haraki will do a 634S cut in it.  Some things, you just don't need to ask him…...

[Chris]

That's an answer with which I can be satisfied.  Just have to settle in for the wait, then.

Seeing as we're getting 10 year anniversary t-shirts, it'd be great to get a special 10 year anniversary pair of jeans, like the IH-634SR's. (Which mind you, has me baffled as it was 5 years in 2010???). Anyhow 10 year denims. Even designate one of the magical new weaves coming through as the anniversary edition. Doesn't have to be heavier, just a twist.

[Giles]

The SR's were made 5 years after Haraki made the 21/23oz denim by mistake when experimenting with a new denim.  He liked the mistake so much, he popped the denim to one side and 5 years after that released the IH-634SR

[Snowy]

Thank you Giles-san, consider me baffled no longer, with the time continuum safely restored.
