Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
I have an Alpha Industries one that was cheap and is official. I also have the MFSC Denim version but could always be persuaded by an IH version if the fit was on point and it had some special features to it. I have a bunch in mind but will keep them to myself unless this idea comes to fruition…

peacoat?
i have a schott and a spiewak but for some reason i think IH would make the most bad ass peacoat.
I would be all over that.

Thanks, Landon–this Forum's members collectively have some great ideas and a place to air them out. I have a regulation pea coat, but just imagine one made from that super heavy blue wool that Haraki has access to. The 80/20 stuff of my coat is crap, but it's all there is on the market.
Here's some ideas on pullovers:

Sitting here musing again…I'd like to see a 634S or 9634 pocket on or in the appropriate messenger bag. Also, I'd like to see the leather tag detail from the 634S embossed across the tan calf wallet.

How about laptop cases? Lined with ultra heavy weight flannel to protect the hardware from scratches and a choice of 21oz indigo or 22oz super black, maybe even 22oz duck, on the outside. Put a nice Talon zipper on it and a leather pull, like the rider's jacket has, and offer it in a couple of different sizes (my laptop is 15"x10"x1.5"; hint, hint :)) and I think you'd have a nice product.
It would also be easy to do; you've got all the materials already and the patterns would be dead simple, basically just a couple of rectangles. Just a thought…

I would love to see heavy denim version of the IHSH-21 in OD, SuperBlack, and Indigo with super heavy metal buttons. Other details in my head…

A Navy wool Pea Coat would get my vote, been looking at one for a while.

Thanks Dude, that would be great.

@J:
The ultimate 634S style for me would be a double front logger-style jean in the 21-22 oz. denim–talk about bullet-proof! I've also wondered about 22 oz. black denim MC chaps to wear over blue denim Ironheart jeans--I like the idea of that contrast in color.
Other than those, nothing else comes to mind just now.

Lads, it seems that dreams really come true with alarming regularity hereabouts…
Giles, I'm in for a pair (two, if necessary) of W38 L42. I'm interested in comparing the FQHH to these stout puppies.
If he's willing to do a customs, what about I pair in the 634S/21 oz. and one pair in the Anniversary Raw denim? Now those would be stupendously tough!
No hurrying genius--I'm not going very far for very long until next September.

Cosmo just please be aware that there are others out there who will require 21oz denim in the future…
-
Hey, Landon, that will only make 19 pair of IHs so far. I know I'll never wear them all out in this lifetime, so I must find a way to fit them all in the casket. After all, they're going to have to make that custom, too. That has me thinking…maybe Haraki can line it with some future signature 32 ounce denim??? I'd need plenty of pockets and some AERO leather accents. for sure...

I was only speaking to the sheer size of each pair. I wonder how much of a roll gets eaten up when a pair of double knee loggers is made for you in comparison to a regular pair of IH-634S??? And I am not one to speak, as you know. I have a feeling SuperBlack might preserve the human body pretty well into the unknown…
-
Well, I suspect there's a link between IH denim, no matter what the color, and immortality, and (perhaps by accident–we'll have to ask) Haraki has discovered that the wearing of perfect denim resonates with the double-stranded helix of DNA in such a way as to extend life through the pleasure and contentment derived therefrom. OK, I've just forged the link between IH, DNA, and immortality for you all. Now do something for yourselves!

I would go for an Iron Heart Peacoat if it wasn't made out of denim fabric . I already have both the regular and the freedom issue peacoat from Mister Freedom, and I am pretty annoyed that Schott is copying Mister Freedom using denim for their new line of peacoats. I hope Iron Heart will refrain from doing something like that.
I also have the wool melton peacoat from Buzz Ricson, and that is a really nice peacoat, made from a very high quality wool fabric. I would love to see something like that from Iron Heart - maybe in some "Mackinaw cruiser style" checked fabric with a great Iron Heart fit.

lando nailed it on the head. this is what i've been wanting since day one. workshirt style with metal snap buttons. if this does happen, or for future workshirts, can the pen slot be extended to about 1 inch (2.5cm)? i can't seem to fit any of my pens in there
-
Next 3 releases of the IHSH-21 are:
12oz denim with black cates eyes
12 oz Herringbone (as per herringbone loggers)
White 10oz selvedge chambrayI will take all suggestions for future releases as these are so popular.
& yes will see what I can do about the pen slot - great suggestion Pete.

Put me on the wait list for the white ones. Idk what color contrast stitching will be used but I bet they'll be gorgeous
