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

[Giles]

Our 21oz selvedge is sanforised, but that aside, it may be impossible to make.  I'm discussing a Type III in 18oz (with no lining) with Haraki at the moment and because of the stiffness of the 18oz denim, he thinks even that may not be possible.  Admittedly the 21oz selvedge is a lot softer than the raw 18oz and therefore "easier" to sew, the addition of the lining may put it into impossible territory….......

… well I thought about the raw SR denim ... but I understand that the sewing is difficult with the heavy denim and the lining.

maybe there are other ways to realize some kind of a sherpa jacket ... I think it would fit in the Ironheart line up ...

[Giles]

We can't make a Type III out of the 23oz.  I asked about a year ago.  Haraki laughed…............

[van Olzon]

ok thx G … but like I said ... maybe there is another way to realize a sherpa jacket in a "lighter" version

[Giles]

I will bring it up in May….................

removable lining?

[Giles]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[dizco]

IH helmet (maybe a collab with bell?), all black with some IH print…but the lining should be IH denim/heavyweight chambray

just my wildest dream though

[injunjack]

have ever changed the liner in to a helmet? must be stretchy material….also nowadays Bell's are HUGE

[Beatle]

lol..when you take it off, ur indigo stained ears will scream "denim for life"

[fobsquad]

so there's a few IH bracelets and bangles. not really my thing but I would definitely rock a leather-type bracelet. perhaps with an Ironheart logo impressed(depressed?) into it.

fobsquad: someone made this out of an Iron Heart rein… I bought it from him but I'm sure other people would wear this...

Would love to see Sweat Forum Parka Pants to match the Sweat Forum Parka

I actually got a chance to try on a 32 BB and wasn't able to pull them up.  bodytype is def not right for that cut  ::) I guess I need a 34 to fit in them.

@Giles:

Take a look at the Buster:  32 is 7.9" at them hem:

Haraki-San please consider a heavy-heavy weight corduroy for next winter black, navy, dark tan, bikers from the 20's to the 50's wore them in winter.  Loose fit.  Trust me with one of your heavy shirts they will rock.  LVC and Wrangler are gearing up for this.  I've seen up to 15 oz in highland country clothing suppliers but I know you can get heavier.  They look great with denim and leather.  If you'd like to pursue this I have some classic patterns and suggestions.  Thanks.

seconded, sounds interesting

[Giles]

I have Haraki sampling me some super super tough cord at the moment.  I saw the first sample recently, it was as hard as nails….........

[Geo]

any pics ?

[Giles]

No, I forgot….Doh............
