Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
Is this the kind of thing? It isn't 2 belts stitched together but it is double the thickness of 'normal' heavy belts like IH and Tanner.
It's 7-9mm thick (approx) x 40mm wide and made from ox-hide
They also do pretty much any other type of leather . . . but obviously not in that thickness
Anyways this has gone off the thread topic so let's get back on track

Hmm, like an Aero biker jacket belt doubled up and slightly thicker say 2". Aero belts are also stitched too, here is an example of something close to what I propose but double the thickness, hope you like the idea, hope this helps give clearer image, buckle is spot on too: http://www.screencast.com/users/simoncathcart/folders/Jing/media/68415a0f-9073-4ed3-84e4-de38280edbd4

While on the subject of belts, why not make a buckle that doubles as a bottle opener, I'm pretty sure that will find an audience on here

Look I can't seem to find new product suggestions, I've looked, but here, I think a Prisoner shirt would ROCK, this company (japanese have made a jacket) but I suggest a denim shirt in prisoner stripes!
Best wishes

OK guys,
its been awhile since i brought this up but here we go…..
what about another run on the IH-1634 ? black, but not superblack in fact perhaps even more gray than black. i love these. i have both the jeans and the riders jacket, but i dont like wearing them because i cant replace them! i need redundancy (and a backup). that is iron heart. REDUNDANCY AND A BACKUP.
i would really go for a redo on the IH-1634 (maybe a 1634s ?) AND an IH-1526 regular black type III jacket. did i get that nomenclature right?
O RLY?
O SRSLY.

Ah okay now I find this page! Right how about a prisoners shirt white and black denim wide horizontal stripe? In the style of a 1950 Levis Denim Family western shirt. Prisoner, outcast, biker, culture yes? The only issue i foresee, which you may enjoy, is keeping the white denim in the black and white stripes white.

i dunno if i can ever see IH doing this, but i've been quite obsessed with buckleback/30's styled cuts for the past year. it would be AWESOME to get something like this in 21 oz (so i don't have to waste my money on a pair of LVC 1937s…)

Hey, I have an idea. It seems to me that one of the simplest yet most effective changes made to the IH shirts in the last year is the more widespread use of black snaps. It's such a subtle change but really makes a big difference in the overall tone of a shirt. With this in mind I'd be interested to see the IHSH-21 and 35 produced with a darker colored button and perhaps darker stitching thread. A blue that matched or was a shade darker than the shirt for the buttons. And a for the thread maybe the same blue as the buttons or the blue grey used in the IHSH-34. Sometimes white buttons just feel goofy and, at this point in menswear, a little cliche to me. I think these changes might give these shirts a darker and potentially more menacing tone.

wearing my IHSH17 in the snow and cold weather alot lately has made me wish it had hand warmer pockets like the IHW01.

How's about a midrise, fuller thigh, carrot cut in 21oz ala the Samurai 0500 or Oni blue? Would be an awesome cut for us fuller thighed gents where the BBs were too slim and didn't want a too big waist.
I think there is a 55 cut inbound, not sure how the taper/hem is on those however. I'm interested in a cut like this too.

Yup, I already have my target set on the 55 when it comes out. It will be a must buy. I know the details haven't been released but I would think the 55 will be stovepipe leg without any taper. It probably will be a higher rise as well. What I was referring to was a cut in between the 55 and a slim taper like the BBs if that makes sense. More of a mid/high rise (more mid) with a slimish thigh and taper below the knees.

IMO, black buttons and stealth details are welcome in my book. But I would still like lighter color snaps on certain shirts, I guess it just depends. Like the IHSH-27, I like with white snaps (this is second item on my IH shopping list for this year). I think big picture wise it depends on the shirt colorway, I just wanted to state that not all shirts should have the black snaps.
