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

Excited to see what IH would do in the vein of the Hadley.

Would probably have cross over appeal too. Snappers like me would jump at a genuine alternative to Billingham, plenty of people have them as everyday bags (minus the padded dividers)..

Denim/ linen blend jeans or work pants for those of us who don't dig shorts.
^ shorts suck. This is a champion idea. Even better, make painters pants/cargo pants out of looser weave, lighter weight wabash or hickory.
Never going to happen, I know. But I can dream.

@EJS:
Has a camera bag been suggested? One by IH or OGL would be great (and stop me buying another Billingham)
Funny, I was recently looking for a IHE-19 as an alternative replacement for a Billingham bag, as I'd like a camera camera carrying bag that's softer and less padded.
Are you thinking about something along the size of a Hadley Pro or Hadley Small? I reckon you're trying to fit 2x SLR's in the bag?

What is cut is going? The Beatle Buster?

I was thinking Hadley Pro and have owned a couple, (the all black one did look quite like an IH bag).
I've also been figuring out ways to adapt IH bags for my cameras.. some velcro and cannibalised dividers.. I don't think padding on the outside of a camera bag is too important either. The strength of the materials used and the inner design are what matters most for me.. -
Ok, we all love deck jackets, and the IH version is perhaps the most cleanly cut out of all of them on the market. However, for some of us, the days to wear such a warm coat are few and far between…
What if there was a whipcord N1 jacket that replaced the alpaca on the collar with the Indigo corduroy material from this year's western (cut the size or shape of the collar down a bit too) and the pocket linings and then used a light poplin or ventile lining to sandwich the whipcord and the wind proof layer. Essentially a heavy windproof, but not ultra warm jacket that people could layer things under like hoodies, vests and other kit.
I find myself wanting something more windproof than the Blanket Lined Tanker, something heavier than the IHJ-12 but something not as warm as the Alpaca lined jackets.
just my 2cents.

Sounds nice!

that N1 idea is exactly what i want right now… i actually think the same basic concept of less warm (at least not ultra-warm) year-round versions of IH products would be great to see more of.
8oz versions of the UHF flannels would be really nice (a little less expensive and can be thrown on during fall/spring/chilly nights/etc). considering the investment and long-life durability of IH gear it's generally the kind of stuff i want to be able to wear all the time.
a lighter, less wind-proof version of the UHR denim (i.e. a relatively clean/uniform loomstate).

I love this idea. Seriously inspired. I am selfishly hoping it gets made in the brown whipcord. I can't see not buying this. I am a firm believer in corduroy pockets and collars after the IHJ-29.

Fantastic idea @Appfaff and I completely agree. I was just thinking today how much I would love to have an IH N1 but it's just not practical for southern Arizona. I am on board with this.
