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

Giles · 2 Apr 2021, 15:10

By mill I meant the place where the denim is woven. It is a shed on the side of a small house just outside Kojima, somewhere I have photos of my visit there, but can't find atm. I would think that the only thing in common with the mill and Ooe Yofukuten, is that the husband may have heard of them, but even that I doubt…....

Oh gotcha. I know Ooe is a husband/wife team and I thought they weave their own denim but could be totally wrong there. Regardless, super psyched to check out the the new denim when it comes out!

edit: I looked it up. The two of them make all their products, but not the denim itself.

@MichalM:

My dream shirt would be IHSH-33-Indigo without front yokes.
Just my thought.

So much this…

Yeah I just had the "New In" section of the site open and noticed for the first time that the western chambrays are like this, so there's precedent. Cool!

Kinda need one of those chambrays now

Great idea

Id like to see the big boy sized jackets and tops get wider instead of longer..
I need to get to the 4XL to get the width I need ( and just barely) but I don't need the sleeve and back length that comes with that size..

There has to be a few of us "normal sized" americans in the group with the same need.

Curious what it is about the yoke that stands out as a piece to be removed? If it's color, could they make the same shirt with tonal yoke, or does that not clean the look up enough?

I like the idea of it being a little more minimal. Plus a little variety's good — I have a lot of IH westerns and the idea of mixing up the structure a bit is appealing to me.

OP might have diff reasons of course!

One step closer to another work shirt with snaps. Big thumbs up on this idea.

Then would you still want /care about the Western yoke in the back? And what about the remaining Western style pockets?

sabergirl · 4 Feb 2021, 19:23

Admittedly, I am indifferent to all of those details.

I was afraid that you might think my response was directed towards you,when in fact it was meant for everyone.Nice of you to reply nonetheless.

Idk why you wouldn't want the yokes on a western shirt tbh. It makes the shirt last longer and it looks cool.

MichalM · 4 Feb 2021, 19:44

I like snaps and western pockets. The clean look of IHSH-13. I don’t mind back yoke.
Work shirts with snaps looks odd to me.
So that’s my idea of perfect denim shirt

Not American… but pretty normal sized (for a Welshman). I have the same issue at any rate. I'm relatively broad for my height and too often need to size for shoulders and chest, which means means ending up with items that are longer than I'd like, just as you describe.

I feel like the only one who is put out by the push to increase the length of the C&S line, and the move to modified type III's was also not in my favour. It was a beautiful day when the IH-526-22OD came out.
