Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
I strongly feel if you create 526L in this 18 Oz, that will be your fastest selling jacket!!!
Why? Not arguing, just want your (and others opinions)…..
@Giles First of all thanks for asking, there are few things, all heavy denim jackets are made for winters, hand warmers are really desired, and thats how 526L got most popular even tho fabric was pain in everywhere, 18 OZ is real sweet fabric, great cut like 526L deserves most balanced weight like 18 oz could actually create wonders, only additional that I would say is 526L front pocket flaps/covers look little smaller in bigger sizes like XXL or XXXL, that should be matchs IMO, this combination should be best selling among all brands!!! PLEEZE NOW … I can hold my horses!!!!:D

To be honest, I would prefer (maybe) a label like that:
I actually like that the jacket is discrete in showing off Iron Heart branding. Shirts I like with the Iron Heart lettering above the chest pocket, but jackets are just fine with the red W, or nothing at all.

When I think jacket I think of something to put on to of whatever I'm wearing to keep my warm/dry. Pockets helps a lot in this case, but I understand that Iron Heart is first most a motorcycle brand and there are some aesthetics to keep in mind (can't imagine any Type I or II would look good with pockets). Damn, if you have cold hands just wear gloves, right?

With all due respect, don't we have enough jackets listed here without hand warmers
also there are many non-motorcyclists here without gloves I love these jackets straight on tees, & when its windy I love these pockets!!! Besides that is what sells fast IMOBTW I am just talking about TypeIII only
-
I would get an 18 oz Type III, with or without pockets. I always liked pockets for pratcial reasons but see the aesthetic point of not adding them. A little extra length is ok, but if it becomes as long as this SE Type III, it looses appeal IMO.
Regarding the Riders Jacket: The waist looks pretty slim to me. @ Giles: would you suggest sizing up to XXL for layering and being able to close it or is that possible with your XL?
-
Distracted again, can't stop checking this … 18 Oz is too attractive!!! But I need handwarmers
!!! Its not that I only like jackets with pockets ... its just that I already have too many without handwarmers!!! -

I guess this fabric stretches a lot
-
I'm just wondering why the Lefty Trucker, although longer and with pockets, is named a 526? It's a bit confusing, wouldn't it be better for destinction to call it (or its possible other versions) for example 528 (2 inches added ;)) or 529, so everyone can see from its name, it's another version?
-
My old 70s Type III had 526 stamped on the inner side of the Buttons. Probably a denim geek will know what that means exactly.
-
Maybe a Harrington style jacket? 21oz super black, sateen, ventile or duck on the outside, blanket lining on the inside.
-
I don't see the point in making the lefty trucker in 18oz denim, but I would like to see that jacket in a lighter weight denim like 15oz for spring/summer.
Wish I was the @Giles living in Los Angeles,
15 oz I guess too light for IH at least 16.5 oz, but that's all in dreams, why I asked for 18, because 19 was so stiff and 18 being loomstate gives personal shape to jacket by stretching and adjusting to individual body shape!!! But can't hold my horses by the time Giles do something, I will be too old to rock n roll :D, Monday gonna be my last shot!!!
