Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
I would love to see a corduroy, sherpa lined Type I jacket (without a buckle). You basically only see type IIIs like this but I think a type 1 (maybe w/ hidden pockets, almost like Visvim - very unlikely, I know) would be awesome.
Actually, seeing the below pic of a leather type I makes me want an OD denim version (or just black).

Awesome news! Might finally find my dream type I! If it's coming with a cinch, would you/is it possible to have some of them sewn up without it? From what I've seen, this doesn't really require a significant pattern change (I may be very wrong, though!).

My only concern with the IH t's I've tried is they are much too bulky and not really a "fitted" fit, especially in the sleeves. I'm fine with the 6.5oz part, although I'd be fine with lighter weight as well (I never thought I'd be all that interested in a 14oz denim from Iron Heart but I'm LOVING my new 14oz 666's). But to function as an undershirt, it should be more of a slim, fitted cut, especially in the sleeves.
Seconding this.
I'm aware that as a really skinny build, I'm in the minority of IH wearers, but this is a consistent issue I've had with looking at pretty much any IH shirting–I have slightly broad shoulders for my size, but otherwise need a pretty severe taper from the shoulders down to properly fit just about anything (only "shirting" I own is the IHTB-01 and even that needed a tuck-in from the pits down so I don't give off that shirt-mannequin appearance).
On the bright side, the shirting money can go towards another pair of jeans--it's all in how you view it, I guess.

I would never steer anyone away from IronHeart, but you sound like you could be a model for FlatHead.

The way I see it, any brand that has the Giles stamp of approval is worth checking out, so maybe I will.
On that note, even if they aren't in my size, the loopwheels in the gray fabric look amazing. I wonder who in here would take a long-sleeve/henley from fabric like that…
(EDIT: I know there are gray henleys/thermals, but not quite the same gray color.)

Hard to argue with a Flat Head shirt and Iron Heart jeans combo for sure.

Came across this gem last night : IH-6526J Extra Heavy Corduroy Type III Jacket
I know that Giles said it did not sell well (which absolutely blows my mind as things looks fecking epic!), but that was like 5 years ago…perhaps there is a renewed interest now????
I know I would love to see this resurrected with some hand warmer pockets and the longer torso a la the 526L. The trio of colors is awesome but a dark brown would also be pretty sweet!
All of this of course is IMHO....

I push for this every so often as well. It's beautiful, but unlikely to happen again (from what I've heard). What size is yours?

@DrBabyhorse Unfortunately I don't have have one
I just came across it by accident when I was looking into some other IH items…The more I read and the more pics I saw, the more obsessed I have become with this thing. I mean come on, extra heavy corduroy in a type III, who wouldn't be all about that!?
I have the 526L and up until it has started to get warmer, I have have worn it every day. I would be nice to have a non-denim option of the jacket though and this item fits the bill handsomely.
@neph93 It is a thing of beauty for sure.
I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe one day
