Just spitballing. The Kersey did well:
Charcoal Kersey “Untucked” work shacket
Quilt/blanket lined body
Unlined sleeves -
I’d buy that.

IHW-02 I mean. Is it my ineptness with iPhone or does tapatalk suck?

Could be both [emoji1]

I would like to see a workshacket version of the IHW-01 (Wool CPO). All details the same (Same buttons, not snaps), but instead of western, a workshirt.
Also, I would love to see the IH "field jacket liner" (IHJ-30) make a return.

Question:Has it ever been considered to make a purpose built inclement weather "clothing system"?
The US Army, and I imagine other militaries around the world, have a cold weather clothing system that is designed with layers that gradually add warmth and protection, and can be worn as a system, or as individual pieces. Below is a link to what I'm referencing.

The first 2 layers, and the last one can be ignored.
Even just adding a microfleece jacket and a gortex shell to the current line-up would close the loop and basically be what I'm describing.

To my eternal disappointment, the IHJ-30 sold badly. I was so looking forward to issuing it in different colour iterations annually….
It was ahead of it's time…..
(Or maybe just ahead of MY time)But, I bet if you replaced the duck with whipcord or the lightweight denims…......

I was just thinking about getting a liner for the winter so I can keep the Wabby CPO as the outer layer.
Didn’t even know that one existed.Is there none laying around anywhere G?

Are you trying to squeeze in front of my dream here? LMAO!

I've come here to gloat: the IHJ 30 is my favorite winter jacket, at the moment. I wore it so much more than my N1 last year.
One thing I would say, my favorite part is that it's reversible. I would love to see another style of closure like snaps or a zipper on a reversible garment from IH.

I'm voting you off of the island!
IHV-03 and an IHJ-30?!

Hrm, interesting thread.
So, I used to carry a small pocket knife in my right pocket that actually wore through the cotton pocket bag. My wife, actually sewed in a small patch of rip-stop nylon into the cotton pocket bag. This is quite non-traditional, but it might be interesting to offer pocket bags made of rip-stop material. This is not a new idea…I've seen it in other genres, but not on the Japanese denim scene. Also, non traditional, but we all carry around these dang big smartphones now, right? Maybe a yoke pocket. Again, very non traditional, I know.These are both non-traditional ideas that I almost have a problem posting here, but neither disrupt the classic look of a 5 pocket jean. Maybe it's more a Triple Aught Design thing (they already have yoke pockets though -- not a new idea)

Also, I've had an idea for a leather piece bobbling around in my head forever. Bought my first pair of Iron Hearts from Giles in 2008 and ever since then I've had this idea.
So, many of us carry keys on a caribiner or a key hook or something, right? The keys jangle around and are noisy. Lame. Someone should make a simple cone shaped piece of leather that attaches to a keyring and wraps around keys and keeps them from rattling around. It can be secured by a snap so that it's easy to unsnap and access your keys. It shouldn't be big and look like a damn ice cream cone around your keys…just enough to add pressure, squeezing the keys together just enough so they don't jangle around. Maybe just a 1.5"x3" strip of leather cut so that it forms a cone when snapped together.At the risk of killing my own idea: Right now, I actually put one of my wife's rubber hair bands around the back end of my keys so they don't rattle around. Not elegant, but effective and unobtrusive.
