Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
If I start a poll and 100 people have input, we'll get 101 different answers. Overall, I think the idea is a good one and we will start a thread for it soon. A completely new denim is out of the question, but we do have a denim that we have not used outside of Asia, which I think we will use.
We're likely to come up with 2 cuts and take pre-orders (like we do with the DWC jeans).
If we get enough orders, it's a goer, if we don't refunds will be given.
Wow I wonder what kind of denim that is?
I was laying in bed last night fantasizing about 25 oz XHS Super-black that fades to grey SBG for the forum jean. Just saying.

And then only 20 people will be happy with the results and only 10 will actually buy the jeans…

It would be tough to have a cut that was accessible to all. I can't squeeze into the thigh on 666, and hang out of the top of a 777…everyone has their story. For that reason, I'd say go with a classic 634! The cut is the most universal (though current iterations have gotten slimmer in the thigh...ouch.) The hipsters who can't hang with a straight cut might learn a thing or two if they could bring themselves to buy in.

888. Picture of Gav on the inside of the backpockets so he's close to our arses the whole time, and we can fart on him.
Eli for el Presidente!

On some of the Pronto collaborations you did two cuts,which I think covered a lot of bases. How much of a hassle would it be to do something similar with The Forum jean?
Would peeps consider a 666 ?? Sorta in the middle…?
666 is probably the only cut I wouldn’t be down for
The pronto taper cut was nice…
How about shorts ?

Here’s another idea, how about a forum flannel, like the Kanreki shirt that was made for Giles’ 60th? Giles could get some fabric swatches for us to look at and then all we’d have to determine is weight, pattern and whether or not it would be a work shirt or western. I think IH’s flannels are second to none because the patterns/colors are amazing. Not sure if it’s less risky to make shirts versus denim though
I retract my forum flannel shirt suggestion
A forum flannel shirt is a bad idea because of potential sizing issues. I think it was @Giles that mentioned before, especially if IH did pre-orders, is if you get X number of orders per size and those sizes come under spec then you've pissed off a bunch of other people whose size didn't work out. -
Same is true of jeans, to a point.
I don’t know why but denim seems more consistent in terms of fit. Has IH ever dealt with denim runs that came under spec?

IHSh-159 in work shirt
The fabric is so unique , beautiful and amazing . I never see any denim fabric like IHSH-159

I’m with you on that one, brother! That fabric has some amazing fade potential for sure. Although I must admit, given that the workshirt crowd got the (under the radar classic) 165, I really don’t feel left out.
-
How about chainstitched denim shirts or vests? Iron heart across the back with a badass pic would be insane! I know I’d pop all over that, a quality trucker cap would be another suggestion
-
Kinda like this, it’s my fav flathead shirt

@EJS:
I'll suggest a 21oz denim work pant.. 816 21oz??
Oh fuck yes!!!!!

This is one of my son’s flannels. I’d like to see a uhf in a similar colorway. Or is this too close to the ihsh-37?

I'm lucky this way, I can wear denim to work. But I try to dress it up a bit and often look for a heavy duty white Oxford. Gitman does a good job, the better of the Brooks Brothers is okay but not what it could be. What it could be is Iron Heart. Maybe it's too far from work wear but that's what I should wear to work–-an Iron Heart white Oxford with a perfect roll collar button down, the real deal. Just an idea. Thanks for having me.
