How about a mask?
I had thought about this the other day, but realized it might be perceived as being in bad taste…

Handmade masks very well may be a necessity since N95’s are scarce. I think non-medical personnel should be buying handmade anyway so that frontline workers can get the PPE’s they need. I see what you’re saying but I don’t think it’s in bad taste personally. I’m seeing more people wearing masks nowadays, even at the park [emoji40]

good luck breathing through 18oz
Yeah, I’m sure that might be hard to breathe through. Some of the handmade masks I’ve seen are 2-3 layers but it’s lightweight cotton. A denim mask might look cool but it would have to be lightweight, have a cotton flannel inner layer and not cost a whole helluva lot.

Why would that be in bad taste? Certainly not taking away inventory of n95/99 masks from front line workers.
Where I live it’s being encouraged. I live in Beautiful British Columbia.

A jacket with indigo sleeves and OD black body
Not that I decide, but I’m not sure there is a market for that. A jacket run has to be at least 60 items to make it worthwhile and selling enough may be tough. Of course, you could go old school and buy a black type III vest to go over an indigo type III jacket.
you are probably right on that Neph.
I am thinking about putting that Vest-Jacket combo together soon. -

I am thinking about putting that Vest-Jacket combo together soon.There are some great options. Brown duck with black or overdyed denim is pretty tasty too.

Considering that I wouldn't be wearing it for a prolonged time, I think it would be great.

They showed a segment on Good Morning America on how to make a mask. When describing the fabric, they said the thicker the better.

Lots in this topic so I imagine this had been mentioned before, but I wish the long sleeve shirts/flannels had longer tails. I know that’s a hard one because everyone is different heights, but I like tucking in sometimes, and the sides always seem to pull out. You’ll never please everyone on a length of a shirt and you can’t make the same shirt with multiple lengths. I guess I could always try wearing my pants higher [emoji3].

I’m the opposite and think IH shirts are the perfect length. I don’t tuck my shirts and am not a fan of extra length on my tops

The masks that I bought on Etsy are 2 layers with a filter pocket for extra protection. I’ve read that a tight weave outer and flannel inner layer are ideal.

I really like the idea of a face mask. Plus, it's consistent with cycle gear so it just makes sense that Iron Heart should have a face/dust mask in its catalog.
I was thinking the other day how cool it would be to have an IH face mask that uses snaps. I figured since there appears to be a shortage on elastic bands some sort of tie, snap or clasp might be a good alternative. But, everyone's got different head sizes so may not be worth it.
I wonder if @Giles or someone from the IH crew could download a face mask pattern and have a go at making a face mask using denim scraps?

I want more coasters before we get masks!

If Iron Heart made the perfect article of clothing for your profession, what would you have them make and in what material?
I'd ask for an Overdyed 18oz. denim short sleeve chef's coat.
How about you?
Maybe it's own thread could work @neph93
editing to include:
-pearl snaps (brass may get too hot)
-Left sleeve pockets for Pen, Sharpie, highlighter and Thermometer -
^ nice idea… I would need a modified vest, detachable lining and a custom pocket array. I need to think about the details some more.
This may need it’s own thread @jordanscollected

Here's a request to do this Chinos - https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-721-kha.html
in Olive or Dark Brown or Sky Blue? Any ideas we would see them in the future?
