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

Thankfully, I spent 4 years on a submarine, and never once had to wear a turtleneck (roll neck).

Did you mean this?

[seawolf]

not sure I see the difference….. Do I need another cup of coffee?

[Giles]

I read your version as - you were thankful to have spent 4 years on a sub and did not wear a crew neck (which you may not have been thankful about)

What a difference word placement can make! What a language

What I meant was, I didn't mind working on a submarine, but I would not have enjoyed having to wear a turtleneck sweater.

So yeah, I think your version is best!

That being said, I'm glad the submarine force is completely voluntary (to which I un-volunteered), because if they ever made me go back I would go kicking and screaming.

I knew what you meant, I was just being an arse…..

[seawolf]

You might have been, but it actually made me stop and think about what I wrote. Your version was much more appropriate.

Turtleneck sweater in 14.5 oz denim!

UHF in (dark) olive drab, solid.

Because, well, OD is boss.

@TrickHell:

My biggest regret is not enlisting in the navy. But dang, a submarine. That's hard core.

I find myself to be pretty adaptable, and the close quarters just meant better friendships. The guys I served with are like brothers to me, and we'll be friends for life.  I was a cook on the boat, and quickly found that caring about my job and taking care of the crew would serve me quite well, and set me up for the future. Being underwater has its own unique challenges but I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything. That being said, I'm glad it's over and I don't ever want to do it again   If you ever want to know more about submarine life, I'm always willing to share.

I have a couple buddies who were in the Navy and they say the same thing @seawolf

More snap options such as solid sterling silver IH stamped IHSH-76 snaps, sterling with southwestern designs, real turquoise, onyx, garnet, malachite, etc… Snaps upgrades for the heavy duty snaps as well. Just adding a few more semi-precious metal/stone snaps could add a whole other level of awesomeness to IH shirts. It's just one more thing to be passionate about and one more thing to collect.

You find em, I'll stock em.  I have really struggled to find these….

[seawolf]

You and me both G. I've considered getting into silversmithing to make my own. That's how few there are available on the market. I know a silversmith from Arizona and he travels back there on occasion to find the good turquoise in person because that sort of thing is really hard to find on the internet.

Not sure if this idea has been floated before, but would it be possible to make a black and white check flannel and then dip it in indigo to create an indigo/black check flannel?
