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

How about a Crazy Check UHF in Forest Green x Black & Brown?

The indigo/indigo duck did not sell well in any anything other than the extraordinarily small run we did of "loombreakers":
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7475.msg402019#msg402019
The run was small because we bust one of the Toyoda looms:
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6472.msg364233#msg364233
So we used the rest of the yarn on a projectile loom to make a non-selvedge version of the fabric.
And that sold like crap.
So it will not be being made again. Period.

So you're saying I have a pair of jeans that are almost impossible to get your hands on… but no one's looking to anyways!!!!
I still love them, and I care about their feelings. They are sensitive, even though were tough enough to break the loom.

The loom breakers and the 816DD are two of my TOP grail pieces! Don’t have either [emoji24]

I gotta say that I'm constantly amazed at your encyclopedic knowledge on this stuff. You and Reuben should get together and write a book
I'm not a very talented man, but I was blessed with a nearly photographic memory and a love for the retail experience… which means I am good at two things: remembering things from an exceptionally long time ago, and getting immersed in products I am connected with. I am always a habitual website lurker, and also love the buying patterns, consumer habits side of things. I worked retail and retail management for about 7 years before entering the marketing world. I try to remain as close to the retail experience as I can, and for me that means staying as up to date on trends and consumer patterns as possible.
About 6 years ago, before all of my money was taken from my children, I had a dream of opening a Self Edge type store in Austin, and having my brother run it when he finished school.
While that dream will never happen, I have still toyed around with the idea of managing a small artisan men's shop down here, something that would run similarly to SEMX, with an emphasis on tropical themed wears for tourists to indulge upon while they are here, and also introduce high end workwear to the area, which is essentially run by guys driving range rovers and 100K pick up trucks to their developments and construction sites, which is a fitting aesthetic for the market actually. Sadly, rent, labor, and cost of living here is quite high (as you would expect).
We have a few shops that "dabble" in western and work themes gear, but it's never done right in my mind.

luckily that person was me who asked for photos @Giles

I'm asking about and asking for–-- Has there been an IH Type 1, 2 or 3 sherpa lined denim trucker?
-
Yes, there was the long gone
IH-533. Maybe it will come to an rebirth?

Sampling a new denim version at the mo…..

..also with the seldom orange padded arm-lining?
That would be great! -
@neph93 this wouldn't count against the self-imposed embargo I have on type 3 jackets, right?
-
Thank you, @Giles.
-
The distinctions between a jacket and a coat are famously blurred. As such I’m taking the executive decision that for the purpose of convincing spouses, our bank managers, and ourselves; if it is lined, it is a type III coat. Very different from a a type III jacket.
Also, orange quilting on everything.
-
I like this idea, @neph93. I have no embargos on type three coats or the newly invented type 4 jacket. Seems like a perfect fit.
All kidding aside, will this have a Sherpa collar or a corduroy like the past versions?
