Not this year….

That's ok, I don't have any money (but I do have credit!) this year.  I'll just freeze this year and hope it gets run again for next season!

[meckintosh]

If you ever rerun that one … I really need it!

Got it coming out in 21oz indigo selvedge denim at a webstore near you soon….

As sexy as that is, I need a traditional wool pea coat before I can justify buying something like that.

I mean 5 years in the future when I'm out of college, hell ya, but atm, not so much

When there is no IH peacoat available, get a vintage kersey wool peacoat from the 60s with corduroy lined pockets. They are affordable (payed 130 USD for mine) and come in a quality better then almost anything that is produced today.

Didn't know Iron heart already had wool peacoat so this question is better here.

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

Not sure if this has been asked requested before but will do anyway. So I was looking for peacoat and when doing research of them found out that vintage ones used kersey wool before it was phased to melton wool (I assume due to cost).

Looking at modern peacoats there is no kersey wool option available. Even kersey wool jackets in general, I have noticed only one brand making them. From quick search I was unable to find out why modern kersey wool is not used, especially since what I've gathered it is basically superior to melton wool.

Thought it would be good to ask you guys since you make kersey cotton shirts and of course you have knowledge about these things.

So question why isn't kersey wool used in modern jackets? Would Iron heart make one out of it? For example the peacoat.

One more question why wasn't kersey wool used for this jacket?

I was looking at one on eBay but I dont think the IH version has the high hand pockets. I would need those. Love high had pockets. May need to go to the army surplus store.
