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

I don't know if this has been mentioned already (Over 530 posts already in this one!) but a Cafe Racer style jacket made out of medium weight denim with two chest pockets (with zippers), two side pockets (maybe with zippers), at least one inside pocket would be amazing. Would definitely love to have one.
The IHJ-52 is similar to what I mean but unfortunately it's not the classic Cafe Racer style.

Very good News!

I'll talk cargos with H this week
Would be especially nice to have an olive green, military-inspired cargo

I assume I can trust H-san to nix any possibility of this tapering nonsense…
i'm on the fence with cargos. But, I do think tapering is a good idea if it's not done too aggressively. I don't think anyone here is suggesting a strong taper, like the 777 denim, but something above that. With denim i'm comfortable with a hem in the 7.75-8" range but with cargos i'd be ok with something in the 8.25-8.5" hem range. I have average sized feet and the current cargo iteration would swallow them to the point that i'd look like a little kid wearing dad's pants.

. . . . my contribution to the cargo pants convo is to make some ripstop BDU pattern pants . . . . .
For those of you without military experience BDU is Battle Dress Uniform (USA) in Uk its DPM Disruptive Pattern Material. In layman's terms it's simply Camouflage

Actually, BDU is the uniform design, not the camouflage pattern.
I definitely meant solid colors, and not camo, lol!

I think most people after a taper suggested the 888 cut as a guideline, which has the same amount of taper from knee to hem as the 777 (obviously from a wider start)

The 888 cut looks about right.

I accept I’m probably in the minority but I like my cargo pants straight and loose and do that I can roll the cuffs. I want them kind of slouchy and relaxed. Tapered versions would be all wrong for me.
Ditto.
I feel like tapering would take them from being a practical garment, to a purely fashion piece.

I should have also said that this is probably true:
@neph93:I assume I can trust H-san to nix any possibility of this tapering nonsense…
EDIT: I should point out that all previous cargos have had a very slight taper (0.4ish") to avoid them looking flaired.
I was just trying to make the point that the main request on a taper was, in fact, as strong a taper as the 777 cut. -
As a motorcycle brand, I'd think a taper on cargos makes sense for IH, if not even a way of cinching the leg holes closed to block air and inhibit flapping when riding.
I love the cut of the swedish Serge cargos and wouldn't change it too much. Even the lady likes them, and she scoffs at all things cargo as "dad pants."
Love the ripstop idea.
