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

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).

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…..

[browniemcghee]

Yes, moleskin please.

Had a feeling that might be the case. Would be epic though

[wariosss]

@spitfiredealer, ^+1, a 25oz SBG in a 634 cut would be amazing

In tribute to the orange thread traditionally associated with denim would the notion of a mustard/orange wabash type western combination appeal? I would suggest indigo and mustard/orange but visually it may not be that pretty.

Doesn't the wabash on the 55 have a beige tint to the dots? Are you proposing an overdye to achieve the color or a print like the Mister freedom calico?

Has H ever made a Parka? I bet it would be awesome…

[Giles]

I agree, I'm thinking fishtail…..

[mclaincausey]

I'd really appreciate it if Haraki made a fishtail parka out of a synthetic, water and wind resistant fabric.

[Chris]

Didn't Haraki experiment with a snorkel parka a couple of years ago?

Most likely already in the works. I just hope it's a tailored fit and not a 1948/1951 Fishtail Replica. The arms are huge on them. I wonder if he'll do an alpaca removable liner, have it sewn in, or not one at all.

Saw this on his blog a month ago.

"It 'Is not this year, it is the story of next year's winter! Well, what kind of guy to become or stay tuned! HARAKI"

Also, this…

[mclaincausey]

Interesting, almost like an L2-A with a rounded version of an A-2 collar. And patch pockets.

@urbanwoodsman:

Also, this…

It's an aramid men's flyers jacket. I have one. It's very nice, windproof, and fireproof… Perfect for over my 107. Actually there are a ton of those at my local surplus store right now... An IH version would be really interesting.

[Hematoma]

This would be awesome

I was thinking along the lines of indigo base and orange dot/wabash style threading. Or orange and white dot/wabash style threading. Really, I have nothing better to do than imagine shirts. I'm afraid I cannot back it up with industry science.
