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

@mister_m:

I feel like chore coats can be really successful. stevenson's heartland jacket and tellason's coverall jacket sell really well for example, so I don't think it's just a matter of people not wanting chore coats.

While there is obviously a crossover in the customers for the brands you mention they are very different in their approaches, inspiration and style to IH. Personally chore coats aren’t really my thing, although the IH wabash version is beautiful. As I say they may come around again some day.

Imo, chore coats are drapey and look best when they have a simple profile, such as tonal stitching and minimal pouch-like pockets. They can't give off a tough-guy look. I think that the new 14oz SBG fabric could possibly make a really nice chore coat.

I think people look to IH and the other brands you mentioned for different products. Stevenson offers more "quirky" / experimental kind of stuff, in addition to basics, from what I've seen. If IH can only offer so many outerwear pieces, I'd hate for one to be a chore coat. It's just a boring, over done piece IMO. I realize many of IH's offerings are classics like chore coats, but it's just preference.

Agree with @neph93 and @Hematoma. Chore coats aren't my thing either and my guess would be that you could probably count the number of IH chore coat fans on one hand. If they didn't do well for IH in the past I think it would be a losing proposition if they tried them again imo.

How about camo cargo shorts?

Ooh, the camo pattern they made for a couple of items before would make rad shorts IMO, though IH has played with tiger stripe and other patterns too:

[Paul9221]

I'm not a camo guy but I would like to take a crack at IH shorts. Those last ones sold out so fast!  I'd prefer non-cargo.

I've been wanting an off-white denim vest lately. The only company that makes a decent one is Carhartt WIP, however their version is made of canvas and the cut is puffy looking. I think a cream colored 21oz type III vest would be awesome. I would buy one right now if it were available.

As you know, I would buy all kinds of Shorts. Preferably olive drab and swedish camo (like above). Also offwhite / Ecru would be cool.

A wrangler style jacket would be a cool alternative to all the type IIIs

Words more true were seldom spoken.

25oz SBG jeans & 18oz SBG cpo please, for the easy-choice dumb grab uniform.

Agreed: more SBG!
