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

It will happen, when though, we are negotiating….

I assume that the t-shirt length has something to do with the average Japanese man's torso length, which is probably shorter than most westerners.  Just a thought.

I remember the new T cut will have more fitted sleeves which should be pretty nice. Personally I love the IH Ts although I thought they would be too short on me first but they drape very well and do have a great fit. I also got used to the slightly larger sleeves rather quickly and they don't worry me at all by now.

Looking very much forward to the new iterations @Giles. If they fit me right, I will make sure to donate all of my old T-Shirts to a charity and buy a few of the new IHTs to wear all the time for the next years to come

If that's the case then I must have a very much Japanese torso

That's what the 'J' in "AdamJ" stands for, right?

Nah, just short

We did a green chambray, did not sell particularly well which pissed me off because it was my idea

That's actually really nice!  I'd buy that!

I'd be all over this 
The red and s&p 46 too

I’m sure it has been mentioned several times already, but I wish Iron Heart would come out with a 25oz denim jacket.  I’m a huge fan of my IH-666-XHS and IH-526V-XHS [emoji123].  I’ve asked in the past, and was always told that “it is too heavy to do the stitching for the sleeves”, but I have 25oz jackets from other companies, like my Samurai S551XX25OZ-20TH Anniversary Type I.  There is without a doubt a market here.  Maybe even do a test run with pre-orders only and eliminate all risk [emoji2369].

Take it a step further….... add the ultra heavy flannel material as a liner, and a custom Good Art Pocket Snap.  I will throw all my money at you [emoji1787][emoji119][emoji158]

It may not work for some reason, but if the sleeves are difficult in that weight, perhaps the body could be 25oz and the sleeves 21oz. It kind of makes sense actually since your trunk is generally what you're trying to keep more warm (which is why vests are a thing).

[Jett129]

I think people,myself included,would loose their minds over an XHSib Type III. I think that it’s been stated that the problem is sewing the sleeves to the body of the jacket. Someone correct me if I’m wrong about this.

[Paul9221]

SE just put out a 23oz OD Type III.  What's 2 more oz?

[Jett129]

I think their saying the jacket becomes 23OZ after the over-dyeing process.

[The_Bourbon_Denim_Guy]

I mean, it’s a thing, people are sewing heavier weights than 25oz.  This is my Samurai 25oz (Top and bottom).

Iron Heart is doing Heavy Weights better than anyone else in the business.  It isn’t like we are talking about something that has never been done, we are asking for a product that is already being made by lesser companies.

I’ve heard people say that when they’ve gotten heavy weight products made by other companies,that they don’t feel as heavy as IH. I have a pair of 21/23 made buy Old Blue,and there’s no comparison to the IH 21/23.

I think the above is exactly tje point. Haraki won’t do a thing just because it is possible or because others are doing it. It has to meet his standards of quality and construction.

As an example, N&F do 32oz denim but H won’t because heavy on its own isn’t the point. Practical performance and comfort would be compromised too much in his opinion. He wove the XHS to be heavy and functional.

@Paul9221 The 25oz is a very different beast to the SE 23oz. It isn’t just about weight but also construction. The thickness of the XHS already creates very chunky seams. Double those at the shoulder and you have an issue.

All that being said, never say never. The guy is an innovator and may well engineer a solution he is happy with in the future.

@Jett129:

No, it's always 23oz, it's not the UHR.

[Dion]

I've been dreaming about an XHS Type III for years and I'm also hoping H-san will find a way to attach the sleeves one day. It would definitely be a grail item for many.

[Paul9221]

I'm not in a hurry to get a 25oz type III from just anyone.

By happy accident, Iron Heart was my first high-end denim brand.  I mistakenly assumed that all brands were just as good but have been disappointed when trying most other brands.  Not to say they're all bad, but Iron Heart just sets the bar so dang high that I'm having to lower my expectations when I try others.

So, if IH makes a 25oz type III, I'm definitely going to pick it up, but if brand XYZ makes one, I'll wait.

I noticed that the 634-BKSP is coming out for FW19. Has there been any recent interest in a more standard 634S-SBG, for example? I would fancy something like that!
