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

@dert:

Another indigo herringbone workshirt like the IHSH-165 please.

Sad story but that fabric sold surprisingly slowly, (which is insane, given how beautiful it is). It is rare that poor sellers get remade, but never say never.

I don't get why that and the 35 didn't sell. And I've said it before, a 35 in a Western would be cool.

My wife has been looking at sherpa lined denim jacket, which made me wonder if IH could elevate that style. Real shearling may be a bridge too far for a denim variant (though a Simmons Bilt shearling coat in the style of a type 3 could be cool) but maybe alpaca or something else instead of the standard (polyester?) fleece.

Alpaca lined type III is a great shout :o

Personally not a fan of sherpa lining, particularly when visible on the collar but that's down to preference.

Blanket lined 21oz Type III is not outside the realms of possibility.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, to me the white polyester sherpa looks cheap. That's why I was trying to think of a way IH could somehow improve it.

Blanket line all the things! Also not averse to UHF fabric as a liner

I'll ask again since the timing is opportune…blanket lined duck work jacket...willing to barter favors at your discretion

[mclaincausey]

That makes a lot of sense to me. Not tryina hijack your idea, but I could see a brown corduroy collar on that.

[jdl1279]

We're 100% on the same page

Would there be any interest in a tonally stitched version of this lined type III?

[sabergirl]

Yes to any/all of these ideas with tonal stitching.

Now I'm just getting obnoxious. Chocolate brown alpaca lined tonal stitched corduroy type 3

[gaseousclay]

I’d like to see a duck modified type III with brown cord collar. I realize it would look similar to the first zip duck jacket but I’m thinking it would look especially cool in type III form. Or a black duck type III/black cord collar. Or a navy duck/navy cord collar [emoji848]

I would love if IHUK would have sleeve hemming services in the future. For people who don’t ride motorcycles:)
Probably quite difficult but surely not impossible?

@Mario3309:

Not impossible, but certainly more of a spesialist tailoring job than simple hemming. You have to remove the cuff, while maintaining it’s integrity, cut a new gusset, possibly alter and move buttons/buttonholes then re-attach the cuff.

If IH take 20USD for a hemming job on jeans you’d be looking at 100USD to have shirt arms hemmed. And with all respect to the otherwise very talented crew in Gosport, I don’t think any of them are trained tailors.

[Mario3309]

Agreed. It’s a much more complicated task, but I think could be worth it for some people. The recent Storm Rider would have a perfect product for it (although even more difficult because of the lines sleeves)…

[neph93]

I think there comes a point where we have to accept that despite the price, quality and existing standard for jeans being hemmed by the shops/brands that sell them, this is not, nor is it intended to be, bespoke gear.

The tendency for people to get their jeans extensively tailored, and the search for the perfect garment fit is possible for everyone if they are so inclined. But it is probably best for everyone concerned that this type of alteration is purely an aftermarket thing, offered by professionals in that field.

A tailor would remove the sleeve and hem it at the top then reattach it to the armhole.

@Chap:

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] exactly why it should be left to the pro’s.

I guess even that would require some extra work, lengthening the side seam to make a smaller arm hole.

[Anesthetist]

More CPOs including a blanket lined CPO would be great!

Ohh yes.
As the IHSH-49 or IHSH-71!
