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

music to my ears

G, please let me know what to write on the form. IH-816 brown whipcord will do? I haven't had a pair of brown workpants since my old American-made Ben Davis 50/50s. I wore those things into the ground. I look forward to beating the crap out of a pair of these. Brown pants look so good with so many shirts, IMO. Thanks for pushing for these.

About 10-11 I'd say. If you have seen one of our deck jackets, coats or vests, it is the same fabric…..
Nice. I'll check out some of the jackets, coats, and vests.
I'll be looking forward to these if/when they are made.

This either probably won't happen or has already happened at some point and I am unawares but… I would love a 634II with tonal stitching. The 633 has the look I'd be going for but not the cut. I'm not a fan of that contrast. Just a thought!
Un saludo!

Tonal stitching was the subject of some discussion early in the development of the double indigo jeans. The forum members seemed fairly evenly split, as I recall, and neither Giles nor Haraki were in favor. Based on that, I think you're out of luck.
The 634SII are fantastic jeans, and although it would probably be a production and logistical nightmare, I'd like to think there's enough demand for each version to accommodate producing both. A pair with tonal stitching (and silver hardware) would be so completely different from my current pair that I could easily justify the additional purchase. Make them non-fading and that would be damn close to my perfect jean.

@StarsSuck - depending on where you get the 633 hemmed, they can end up fairly similar in fit to the 634. I had Kiya check the leg opening on a pair of 633 hemmed to 32" (my usual inseam) and the measurement was only slightly below the hem measure of a 634N. Might be worth looking into if you really love the tonal stitching.
@Chris - I would love the idea of a "Forum" version of the 634.. something that we all vote on and the winner of all the details gets made. A Knife pocket like on the BB would be cool, and I agree on silver hardware and tonal stitching, or perhaps a totally different color of stitching, like on the Vulcan. Maybe even have the pocket bags stamped with the IHF-2016 badge…

@Appfaff - I did consider altering the 633-Its more an issue of thighs. While I'm not a bodybuilder, my thighs can get a little big depending on what I'm in to athletically at the time. I've had to get many a darn because my stupid thighs put too much stress/friction on that crucial crotch area! The 634s are perfect and can handle all the abuse I cam dish out. I like the idea of a forum pair, especially with the patch and tonal stitch. When I get a hem, I always choose a funky color-right now I have a neon green. I'd be down for a weird color on the inseam kinda like what Momo does with the peach thread now and then. Maybe a green?? Or grey?? Black that fades grey?
Un saludo!

I'm pretty sure Giles has said that the minimum production run for jeans is 400 pairs. The odds of a forum specific model selling that many are, well, I wouldn't say non-existent, but maybe non-existent adjacent?
-
@Chris - yeah, I agree - highly unlikely, but fun to dream about…
-
100 pairs of jeans, but minimum run of a new fabric is 400. So if this was to have legs we'd "only" need to do 100.
Start a poll on this to get an idea of how many people are interested?
-
You mean an embroidered fabric one, like this?
Or a leather one instead of the standard IH patch?
-
I kind of meant a leather one, to replace the 634/777/666/555 patch on existing jeans. Then I started thinking of all the problems with the idea (how many people would fit it themselves, any new jeans that had it applied would be non-returnable) and started to question the idea. As you were….

I've applied a leather patch to my jeans. It's super easy to be honest. I'd be in for a forum leather patch esp if designed by @VonOlzen.
