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

I think that if IH did a more simplistic take on a chore coat that it might have a better chance of selling than the IHJ-33. The IHJ-33 is not appealing to my eye with the pocket design, fabric used, and contrast stitching. I picture a more simple design in a different fabric and tonal stitching, like a Ben Davis inspired one for example.

Loopwheeled, long sleeve, non-thermal, cotton, henley, 7-8oz. Some sort of natural, undyed, ecru color. No side seam up to XL if possible.
Nice. Although I’d go for this in the same heavy fabric as the IHTB’s and IHT-1600’s.
right on - make 2 versions, a heavy weight and extra-heavy weight.

I agree. The IHJ-33 was somehow just not appealing. The simplicity of the model posted is very clean and streamed lined, keeping w/ the overall IH aesthetic. An over-engineered IH fabric, improved cut and amazing details would make this a winner in my book.

A duffle coat? An updated take on the original design, without the horn toggles in favor of some other sort of fastening?

I agree 100% with your take on the tweaks IH could do with that Ben Davis chore coat design to make it a winner. Put the IH touches on it. Obviously tweaking the fit would be one of them as the sleeves are definitely on the long side on the Ben Davis version for one but I was just posting it as an example. Ben Davis products are notoriously oversized from what I can recall.

Really loving my 555XHSib,and don’t know if it’s possible, and or practical, to make any other kind of garment out of this fabric,but if it were, I think a 25OZ XHSib CPO would be the King Kong of all CPOs. And if you really want to get,off the charts,crazy OD some of them. Would probably have to cost more than $500. Denim Porn Fantasy!

Pretty sure they can’t do anything that heavy with arms due to the armpit seam. A vest is possible I’d reckon.

Sweet! Is that a final production version, or a mock-up? Looking forward to more info.
We'll tweak it a bit, but not much…
Is that a kersey western? Lovely.
I think old pea coats were made of a woolen kersey, or kersey-like fabric. I'd love to see something like that in a very heavy weight.
