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

[Giles]

@BULLITT:

Or are the coasters too pricy to make to make it a freebie?

Yes - if they were easy to make at a sensible price, we'd still be making them….

And manufacturing costs have gone up about 20% in Japan in the last 3 years, plus the Yen has strengthened about 20% against the USD, so margins have plummeted anyway...

I was afraid of that.  Oh well.

And they weren't cheap five years ago…

I tried to buy some leather patches to use as coasters when I visited The Works in Kojima….. I got the standard "Japanese molar suck" followed by a very gentle "No... So sorry."

Orange and black would be neat but probably too Halloween.

A marl grey IHSW-23 would be tremendous.

Probably going to happen. IHSW-23 and an IHSH-10 version.  Squared it away with the The Iron Heart Zoku yesterday, just need to collect orders from retailers, let's hope we get enough orders….

After seeing the Wescos built for seawolf, I was struck with an idea. I have two builds before this on my personal list, so I hope by sharing someone, even if not G, picks it up.

10" Jobmaster w/Packer upper
Single midsole
705 half sole
2 lifts lower block heel
All eyes (no hooks)
Dress toe cap
Flat waxed cotton laces

Could be made in Brown Dom w/brown mid, brass eyes, olive laces

Or Black Tie w/ brown thread, brown mid, brown laces (or completely blacked out)

The idea is shaped by a 40s US paratrooper boot, so I'm calling the idea a Jump Master

Are there any plans to release another heavyweight chambray like the IHSH-16's?  If not, is there any chance of running IHSH-13 and/or 21 in additional colors other than just blue and black?  Natural, olive, burgundy or chocolate brown would be tempting.

[Giles]

The minimums for our heavy chambray are enough for about a 1000 shirts…...That's a big ask.........We had to think long and hard about the black....

[Clint_D]

Gotcha, that's a bigger hurdle than I would have expected.  Thanks for the explanation.

How did the black ones sell? I love mine.

Good, but it helps because they are sold in Japan too….
