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

ever consider a black collar and/or sherpa to differentiate from some of the other lined type IIIs out there?
-
The suggestions that I post here usually come from thought processes along the lines of "Okay, I'm not going to spend any more money on clothes, unless IH comes out with ___________."
888XHSod. I know, it's not creative but I just realized that there's no 888XHSod and I so love 25oz and OD. The 888XHSib is beautiful but it's also not OD.

888XHS-MB is going to be twice the over dyed goodness!

Sigh, I'm a friggin idiot! You're right! I'm sitting here waiting for it to drop but for some reason I tagged it as "black" in my brain, but it's OD! Thanks for setting me straight

@Tiro thats an interesting idea. They previously made the hooded N1 Parka and if I recall correctly the body was longer.
-
@Giles, is there any chance you can tell us when the revised version might arrive? Planning and waiting isn't quite half the fun but winter in my woods is so long I need something more to do than conjugate Sanskrit verbs.

Yeah I totally missed out on that one [emoji3525]
I’m a huge N1 fan, unfortunately due to my longer upper body I can’t wear one without it looking rather awkward…Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

How about a natural indigo denim work shirt.

The short deck coat is the best winter jacket I own. Said it back then, say it niw: please do one in black with alpaca lined pockets.

hello all– new here to the IH community and raw denim community in general.. i have an unpopular opinion of not enjoying tapered or slim styles so i'd love to suggest a wide or relaxed style more in line with the 1955 model but wider in the thigh and leg with a high-waisted fit. i've yet to pull the trigger on a IH pair but was hoping to find a more relaxed and roomy/baggy pair before i did. hope y'all are doing safe and well.

We’re in the same boat then mate. I’m mostly into repro jeans. 44 cut, 47 cut and 50’s.
I also prefer lower weight denims.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

@b4ggyj34n5 Straight, relaxed jeans are becoming more popular again, so not that controversial.
The 634 has the most relaxed leg of all IH cuts, but does not have a high rise. Relatively wide and straight, it does have a pleasantly fitted top block. If you look at the XHS and 21oz versions then they come up slightly wider than the other iterations.
Look at the 888. It does have a taper, but is quite relaxed especially if you size them TTS. Not slim at all. It also has a high waist and roomy top block.
Then there is the IH 1955 cut which is the most trad cut IH do.
Having said all that IH is not a repro/retro brand and never will be. Haraki-san takes inspiration from the past and filters it through his own ideas and the motorcycle culture he comes from.
-
So I suspect it won't happen I am afraid.
Haraki actually actively dislikes the 1955's I "forced" him to make. I've learned over the last 15 or so years, what I can ask him to make and he will listen, and what I can ask him to make, and in the course of so get "that look".
Personally, I'd quite like a pair of looser/wide jeans, but I can't see it happening I'm afraid.
-
glad to hear i'm not alone @Tiro !
thanks @neph93 and @Giles for the insights and response. makes sense that the motorcycle wear is what haraki wants to focus on– i would say the way motorcycle jeans has been appropriated in counter culture is a subsect of motorcycle culture. i understand that he might not want to copy retro designs but aren't some of these tapered and skinny styles considered "retro" ? hope haraki loosens up in the future, no pun intended
i really just love finding the baggiest high-waisted jeans i can find
