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

[van Olzon]

Beige Chino's with the fabric of the IHJ-25 (would be perfect for pants)

[Giles]

What, like this?

Selvedge

[rocket]

hehe…

[van Olzon]

Hehe, faster than his shadow, G-San. 
Is it the same fabric?
Don't think so …. because of the selvedge.
The fabric of the tanker looks very, very promising after wash.

[Giles]

Actually well spotted, no it's not.  But I though fuck it, it's close enough…....

[Broark]

Oh, those look interesting Giles!
If they had metal buttons they would be the selvedge khaki colored chinos I've spent so long looking for.
Even without metal buttons I would grab a pair of those fast.

[Giles]

They don't have metal buttons I am afraid.

11oz selvedge westpoint chino in khaki, beige & navy…

[Broark]

No worries, I am still very interested.
Assuming these are in production now, any kind of rough ETA?

[Giles]

They are not in production.  Haraki shows samples, he then asks for input.  For example one of the shirts he showed is a work, I felt it would be better as a western.  Then once we are decided on final details, I go and gather numbers, once I give him numbers we make the stuff.

The Chinos have a production slot planned and I expect to see them in Europe in early April.

[Broark]

Ah okay, that makes sense.
Thanks for the explanation, I look forward to these for next summer!

change the specs to metal ones…..... 

[Giles]

I have tried to do that in the past.  We have not been able to source ones that we like enough…...

[Broark]

If they did end up having metal buttons I would buy one of each color!

I see, I would just use the ones from the 634S and your done, but that's me…

[thewickett]

N-2 deck jacket.

From a styling perspective, they are in the same league as the N-1. However, the materials on the originals were lacking. Because of this they are a seriously under represented jacket on the jp repro scene.

So keep the styling but use better materials. Maybe whipcord like the N-1 or Condura.

Also, moleskin anything (pants or shirts)

[Anesthetist]

I bet IH would make a killer moleskin!

[superfuzz]

I agree about the moleskin (shirt preferably).

[4c]

Ventile cloth western shirt:
Sleek and shiny, cool in the summer, windproof, waterproof year-around, and generally awesome… Especially for riding… Just like a survival suit, but for westerners/bikers…

+1 to the moleskin

[spitfiredealer]

How about the 25oz in black

[Giles]

Can't see it happening - demand for black is generally so much lower than for indigo…..
