Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
I own a pair of 666XHS and love them.
I would just like to have some different back pocket stitching on my next pair of 666s. Indigo arcs perhaps.
What was decided on the 18oz blue warp / weft production models?
Or I guess I could go the 25oz Beatle Busters next time around to switch it up. I get heavyweight denim and some differentiation on the back pockets.
-
The blue weft model is getting standard colored arcs, as I recall.

@PSB:
my next pair of 666s. Indigo arcs perhaps.
Won't happen. The IH-666-XHS stays as is - sorry
@PSB:What was decided on the 18oz blue warp / weft production models?
I think we have decided to use a less "in your face" yellow for the arc stitching than the sample, though I am waiting to see how the sample pair Alex is wearing with the best of both worlds turns out before I make fina decision

Moved this into this thread per direction from Riffblaster!
@Appfaff:not sure if this is the right thread or not, but here it goes….
I went out with some friends on NYE and one of them had this really cool "flight" jacket made of denim. It wasn't really a true military inspired jacket but it was kinda cool...
Yesterday it hit me... What if Iron Heart did a 21oz A-2 jacket in either Indigo or Superblack, blanket lined or PrimaLoft lined for extra warmth. Same "Banding" (not sure if that's the right word) as the waist and cuffs of the IHJ-14.
Just thoughts!

I like that Appfaff…could use heavy duck also.
-
Brown loop wheeled hoodie
-
Good idea. I love brown
-
It would be really cool if we could revolutionize the IHSW to make the ultimate heavyweight sweatshirt.
Hears the idea:
18oz Loop wheeled pullover hoodie with no side seems dipped in indigo. All else kept same… I.E. basically IHSW-10 sizing, fitted arms, flat seemed, etc... all perfect.It would be like the IH-XHS of sweatshirts! Pushing the boundaries of what can be over-engineered!

I'm fairly new here, and this may have been suggested, but super heavyweight moleskin seems like such a logical IH venture. The stuff is super tough, and I'm sure Haraki's version would be even tougher. I've heard it is expensive to mill, but it could be used for an awesome 707 or 816 type cut. It could also make some killer jackets. The only thing I really know of in this ballpark, and it's a very different aesthetic, is the Mister Freedom paletot they did a few years back. So yeah, I think heavyweight moleskin would be a winner. Tough stuff made Haraki tough=dream come true.

Posted this in the IH-526OD thread, but how about an overdyed type II instead of a rerun of the overdyed type III, since there are a lot of type IIIs available? Maybe make the chest pockets larger and lose the buckle? (in reference to the TW type ii)
Plus it's a new take on type II. You don't see many black versions and the overdye is pretty unique
-
I love type two and I also was interested in the 101 that Giles previewed a while back. A storm rider would be cool too
-
Two things that recently came to mind, both of which have probably been suggested already, but I'm too lazy to check.
1. thermal lined sweatshirt. Either a pullover or a zip up.
2. wabash workshirt in a color other than blue. Preferably either forest green or burgundy.
-
Yes, burgundy! I cannot believe that almost no Iron Heart products have come in this color. Even looking through the extinct pages, I find nothing. I think burgundy would be awesome. How about doing the IHSH-64, but in burgundy with MOP snaps? Side pockets perhaps? I know that's a divisive issue but it makes sense to me with this fabric. I failed to mention on the moleskin front that Filson makes sweet moleskin shirts I have worn. I know Haraki could take it to the next level. So yeah, burgundy 64 and burgundy moleskin workshirt. And while we're at it, burgundy and cream buffalo check UHF. Whoa.
