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

[mclaincausey]

Alternative proposal: what about iron heart making thick leather suspenders/braces that use clasps to attache to belt loops?

[JayDee]

I get some clasps suspenders from Carhartt-Workwear. They are very heave duty but not hold the pants on top and making deep sratches on the waistband if often wearing.

There are nothing better than buttons!

@JayDee:

Hey Giles and all you other freaks out there!

what are you think about a new option for all bottoms:

Who wants could add 6 extra buttons (4 on front, 2 on the back) into the waistband for classic Y-suspenders? This option would be an upgrade like the hemming service or the MOP-thing for the shirts.

And of course I never stop asking here for IH-suspenders!

Great idea.  I came back with a few from Japan, let me think how we should do it.  G

[JayDee]

Cool, that sounds good!

Will you ask for the suspenders too?

[Giles]

Won't happen I am afraid.  Not Haraki's style….

IF I wore braces, it'd be these bad boys:

Sexy sexy

@Giles:

The bracelet?  Perhaps later.  Haraki had just 21 made in each colour and the selfish bugger kept them all for The Works…

Are these making it out west, G?

[Giles]

Only on pre-order.  Let me get it sorted out.

If you're looking for suspenders then Morten of For Holding Up The Trousers does some very nice, albeit reassuringly expensive, examples. They're supplied with ceramic buttons, which will be useful if Giles offers the sewing service.

[pillowPANTS]

Im in for those chinos Finn

[T-Bone]

Yeah, me likes more taper too.

[hajduk]

Okay here it is: a heavy duck vest with heavy melton lining in a functional box shape with big patch pockets and press stud buttons.  example http://ruzspeak.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/filson-cruiser-vest.png

[tmg]

^^ good idea, like that!

[simonc]

Yeah it hasn't been done right yet and with the heavy duck and melton and press studs it would be a snap.  My issue in winter i need a functional body warmer to wear under a jacket, with pockets big enough to put a mini tablet in etc.
