Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
Max makes me think of an interesting general principle, and perhaps this already occurs in some fashion: diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks: progressive tapering within the same "cut" as measurements go up to account for the flaring effect of larger pants. Straight at small sizes, more and more tapered at larger ones, in recognition of the fact that ankles don't necessarily scale as dramatically as waists across bodies.
Duck makes me think of Carhartt, in fact it is far more associated in my mind with them than ripstop, where ripstop is more of a military thing to me. But I don't hate Carhartt either. I definitely understand it's not for everyone, but it's a good way to ruggedize a light fabric.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't cargos sell slow? Plus no interest from retailers? Perhaps this is because of the wider cut previous versions had. A more modern cut like the 888 might sell better. I for one would instantly cop a pair but if they were like previously versions I wouldn't.
That or because it’s not the 90’s anymore. I should probably put all of my comments regarding cargos in the unpopular opinions thread. [emoji41]

Your comments regarding cargos might not be that unpopular

Not sure if the topic has been brought up but I'd like to see some leather suspenders

More vintage denim! The 18oz is my favorite and the 16oz is one of my top favs. Let's get some more vintage denim combos!
Another double indigo duck as well!
-
Love it. Maybe it hangs from a belt/loop
-
I know I implied this in the other thread, but please do that upcoming madras in a work pattern too. Maybe with a single picked like the indigo herringbone?

I'd love for said work shirt to come in short sleeves too. Madras in short sleeves makes a lot of sense to me and most of mine historically have been that way fwiw.
As well, a natural short sleeved loopwheeled Henley, and because it wouldn't be a McLain request without it, a run of them dipped in indigo. Also perhaps a gray Heather version and/or whatever solid colors. Fiancee bought be a washed gray one and I immediately thought Haraki would kill something like that and it would look boss standalone or as an undershirt you could vent by unbuttoning a skosh. Maybe it has a chest pocket with a W. Maybe it had a label on the hem.

short sleeved loopwheeled Henley
I've been thinking that myself…
Short sleeved henleys based on the IHT-1600

To further hijack @UnTucked idea, I had a vision of a simple brass tool that would clip to a belt and offer both bottle opening and keychain function. It's possible it could look more like the brass-w10 and hang on a belt loop instead of a belt, though this design would be able to do either while offering a nice lever for the opener.

White Selvage Denim, around 16oz in 555 or 777 cut.
-
^ I agree with this and was actually just wishing for it. In my size, the 666-WH are pretty full in the leg and do t have the classic white Jean style. Would love a 777 cut in them (but a 555 would be glorious as well)

Suggestion - Knickerbocker Mfg Co. has a type of pants (station pants) which is cross between jeans and pleated trousers. In other words, it has both rivets and pleats. Does anyone else think that IH should make such pants?
Here is one more reason why - https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/a-place-for-pleats/

I’d be interested in seeing what H could come up, but my first impression is that this screams grandpa.

No. I can't imagine IH doing pleated trousers…ever.
