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

In keeping with the above talk of beach cloth, please make a coat from the beach cloth fabric Haraki recently made the vest out of. Ideally, a pea coat, but other ideas could be cool. Maybe something along these lines:

Though I find the chest pocket on these and similar repros to look a little strange. I'm sure Haraki-san could tweak it beautifully. -
Id love to see a superblack or 21oz or even 18oz take on something like this.

I like round necks on vests and I've been really wanting a hard wearing vest that's a little longer in length. I have a sierra
Designs heritage 60/40 vest that has the perfect shape, I just wish it was a bit longer and Made out of stubborn denim! -
Maybe it sound pervert…
But the SBG denim is coming back...
What about a 21oz selvedge SBG denim-shirt? -
Can't be done. We made a sample 21oz shirt a few years ago. Everyone got very excited, then we took it into production and it just could not be made.
As a general principle, the best sewers in a workshop do the sampling, so sometimes they can do things that actually can't be done in bulk….

I would like to see a revival of the IH-6526J, or a new version with pockets. And a restock on the chino pants.
-
The IH-6526J will not happen again. It sold slowly, and indeed we had to put them on special to move them. A version with pockets is a great idea, but the minimum on this haraki designed double weave cord is probably too much for us to do again. Once bitten etc etc…
If you mean the poly-cotton Chinos - ditto...
Sorry

I guess you don't move a lot of 40+ waist jeans. I had to turn to Japan to find the 666-xhs in a 40. Still a bit too small. Is the demand not there for sizes over 40?
-
Yeah, but unfortunately when a straight cut jean is sized that high, and my foot isn't an enormous size, it fits like a boot cut jean. I think I'm going to give the 1955 a try soon though.

These are what we have in stock in 42:
and these are what we have in stock in 44:
If there is evidence of sufficient demand, then we will of course broaden what we offer. But generally demand for sub 30 and plus 40 is really low compared to other sizes. Jean size demand is a really really steep bell curve…

I understand G. Thanks for at least making a few bigger sizes. I am going try a pair of the 1955s in the next month. After a stretch, a size 40 non-selvedge 634 fits pretty good, I just want another pair that's got a little more taper to it.

I really appreciate the time and effort you put in here Giles
