@Giles:

It won't happen.  I have nothing against Vans, but Haraki and I like to work with smaller companies that we admire for their craftsmanship, dedication, sense of pride and ethic.  When I can't speak personally to the person or people actually making the stuff I'm not interested…..

G,
possible a collab with MillReef in Japan?
few years ago SDA made some very nice models in collab with MillReef.
i own one pair.
u too own one pair i think.

21oz…sbg denim...heavy chambray...hickory...

@Nerkg:

Heavy chambray swim trunks

chambray makes for horrible swim trunks, the fabric gets relatively heavy and stiff when wet and they dry very slowly

[Chris]

Yes, it truly sucks.  Dry time alone makes it worthless in my estimation.

[Chris]

I know some different options have been in the works for a while, but I'd like to see some enameled buttons on shirts.
These are really nice looking.  So is the chambray material, too.

Maybe Triple Works could do a variation on the IHSH-46- lighter weight chambray (say 7-8oz) and in a slightly darker green…

^I like both of these ideas. Especially a lightweight, dark green, 46.

^ backed!

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I've been looking around for a nice biker belt, the old ones that are tooled sort of like Western belts, but studded with metal and metal-mounted polished stones or plastic gems.  So I'd love to see a super thick, top-grain leather hand tooled and studded dual prong biker belt from IH.  Sort of a less gaudy version of this:

^I know RRL makes belts like this, but I can't speak to the quality/thickness.

Thanks–after some poking around I did see a specimen on eBay, though it had lettering on the back and was the wrong size.  If it's going to have lettering, let it read "Iron Heart."  This, though, adds an interesting twist--note the denim inserts:

some ideas
1. (practical) paraffin coated 634-XHS
2. (tough and unchanging) superblack, paraffin coated 634-XHS
3. (crazy warm winter/ski jeans) paraffin coated, flannel lined 634-XHS
4. (crazy tough) paraffin coated, double knee XHS 634
5. (summer rain XHS) paraffin coated, extra loose weave for more breathability (would be great for really hot/humid countries that have wet and dry seasons.
6. (full armour combo) paraffin coated, reenforced at hemmed area with a way to 'lock' or 'button' into shoes (also waterproofed) which come with the jeans. it would be a set up to almost fully water proof the jeans and shoes connection area.
I like fades and hot weather so no. 1. and no. 6. would be my favs.

An affordable ironheart tshirt.

^Forum T

[Nerkg]

I mean in the 40-50 dollar range so I can display the ironheart branding and get a bunch of them for the rotation

[Chris]

That would still be the Forum tee.

Thinner leather patches on the "lighter weight" IH jeans. Controversial…perhaps
