Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
In addition to a black storm rider, my other suggestion would be chinos in a cut similar to the IH-888 jeans in all the different chino colors (ivory, khaki, navy, black)
-
I second that. The current cut for the chinos doesn't work for the bigger thigh crowd.
-
Many, many years ago, I received a tape measure as part of a loyalty scheme through Rapha, Imperial Works. The box and printed note inside really emphasised the brand and its focus on sizing. I think if IH made something like this they would be very popular given the 'lengths' (excuse the pun) you go to on showing us all how to measure our kit. Might even help reduce the number of returns. Figure most people have a tape, but a well made cloth one is something else. Since I've joined this wonderful forum, I for one have returned to using this piece of kit at least once a week. Think a IH version would be a very welcome product hidden into the accessory section.

Very good idea @GC .

An IH tape is a great idea! Nice one @GC

Yep. Part of what’s appealing in a chino is a comfy fit. I would love the heck out of a relaxed top block tapered chino.

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 ThermometerI'm a CNC machinist and I'm comfortable working in a lose fitting pair of pants. With external pockets so I can quickly and easily stuff things in them and pockets on the knees to put in cushioning.
Have dreamed of a pair of Iron Heart's in the same design, something tough and durable but at the same time showing evo with use… black duck, maybe? Alas, I think the flappy pockets and lose fit would probably go against the Iron Heart ethos.
What I wear now looks similar to this:

Love the idea, I'm on board! Coincidentally the tape measure I already have is blue like denim… but I'm sure Giles & Co. can think up something better!
GC: curious as to the thread die in the picture? Was that included with the tape measure?
-
@BULLITT BEE Great you are on board and love the idea. Haha, the thread die I was physically posting to a mate today and just happened to be in reach to help me weight the tape down for the photo. Def not included, unless you can think of a good reason why it should be?
-
Ha! Didn't think it's purpose was to weight down the tapemeasure
-
Fantastic idea @GC!! Not surprised Rapha did this either.
