Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
@Tiro he still does wear the 634’s in nearly all the shots I see on IG etc. He also has a 634 variation with a slight flare that he made one run of for sale, but otherwise keeps for himself. He refers to it as a «sneaker cut».
@b4ggyj34n5 Giles was the main mover behind the 666, 555, 777, and 888. Have a look here for the story in his own words: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8856.msg663192#msg663192
Haraki-san was somewhat reluctant to produce any of them, and his innate conservatism meant that it took a while before he started selling them in Japan. The 555 was available through IH International for years before Haraki-san started selling it at home. In fact I don’t think the 777 sees much action in Japan to this day.
I consider high waisted, wide legged jeans to be a more traditional cut. Normal in the first half of the 20th century and into the 50’s. While the 666. 555 and 777 would have had similarities with 60’s and 70’s cuts. When I say repro and retro I mean direct copies or close iterations of historical models. While the 634 and 1955 were both inspired by specific 501 iterations they have been modernised and altered enough not to be considered repro’s. The 1955 is closest to an authentic reproduction.
Pls enlighten me, I never knew they made a 1955 cut. Does it come in lighter denims?

@Tiro - the 1955 has historically only been a 21oz denim option, but they did a UHR a few years ago, and released the 21-OD version this year.
Check out the 1955-UHR thread for some of @FormulaPfaff 's crazy UHR pics.

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.

What's the chance of the sweat pants being rereleased? That's all I wear these days while working at home and I recently learned that my company want to do home office 90% of the time even after Corona is gone.

I hope some sort of pants will be included. They are my most worn item, I think. Marcia has been asking for a pair, as well.

Edited my first post for clarity - I was talking about pants

I know we have talked about duck hoodies similar to carhartt….. But how about a brown duck vest thats lined. I would be happy with eaither blanket lined or even permaloft type lining ( like the IHV 36)
I have a carhart brown vest I've been wearing for like 20 years. I would ove an IH one

Sidenote sweatpants are also on my radar.
I’ve also been eyeing the Merz B Schwanen sweatpants.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

@Tiro Wait for the IH sweatpants to drop. They are the most comfortable sweatpants ever !

@Appfaff the train tracks and lap whiskers on your pair are chef's kiss

Cheers @Filthy - but @FormulaPfaff (my little bro) is entirely responsible for those glorious pair of UHRs!
