Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
The Strike Gold 21XX denim did that, I believe it was a mud-dyed brown. It looks terrific.
Reminds me, on Kauai they have a lot of iron oxide in some of the mud, and they use it as a dye. Basically a burnt orange color. It would make a unique weft dye on denim for sure.

@TrickHell:
If I were going to request an "off" weft, it would probably be brown.
Have you seen N&F's coffee dyed lot? It's the warp in their case but it's an interesting idea. Maybe an indigo warp with a coffee dyed weft? Could be cool.

Gotta say, I'm against the idea of IH spending much time messing with coloured wefts (apart from those already done). There are quite a few brands doing this, and have been doing this for a while, not wanting to sound like an old reactionary but it just doesn't strike me as a very Iron Heart thing to do.
-
I love colored weft jeans, don't get me wrong, but I'm with Mega- it doesn't really seem to fit the Iron Heart ethos.

@TrickHell:
Not even an earthy brown? That wouldn't be too different from one of the SE crossovers they did.
Agree. I'd be against crazy saturated colors like red or yellow etc., but it does seem to me that a more subtle, (as you say) earthy brown would fit into the IH design aesthetic. Particularly if the dyeing medium was itself earthy and unusual in some unique way.

I was thinking of basically the same thing as IHTB-01/05, but with vertical lines instead of horizontal.

Here`s a little story:
3 weeks ago I was driving to my parents house when it came to me that on the other lane were a lot of motorbikes with or without sidecar.
It was February 1st north of Munich snowing at 0° C…
Those bikers were driving home from the Elephant Rally or Elefantentreffen in the Bavarian forest, near the Czech border, where snow is guaranteed....
So I thought there should be an IH jacket for biking in winter, like a shearling lined, 2" longer bodied 526 with a B3 kind of collar and maybe sleeves, too.Basicly a type B III jacket.
And will there ever be a successor to the magnificent IHSH-08ss / sbg?
-
An over engineered quarter zip pullover would be awesome.

I think anyone who remembers G's pair of 17oz would welcome a return of that denim.
That denim has not gone away….
May do 1955S in it. If you hear no more, rattle my cage in a few months.....
Cross your fingers.

TW as in Triple Works? Is no more, after a lot of deliberation H and I decided to can the brand. All stuff that was going to be released as TW will now be release as IH.
What does this mean for lighter products? Is there a limit to how light H is willing for IH stuff to be?

Love the arcs on my 634N.

Giles are you still anti a sherpa lined 21oz jacket??
-
60 is the minimal you have to take then. Didn't know that. I would certainly have 1 so only 59 to go lol
Feels like something which would fit into the IH ethos IMO
