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

@Weft:
Fatigues
Commando jumper
Flatcap
Fingerless gloves; gloves in generalFatigues get made semi regularly. The last release of a tapered pair sold very well so we can expect a re-run at some point, I hope.
I think an IH Commando jumper is a grand idea and would live a submarine jumper too. Haraki-san doesn’t use wool often however, and when he does it tends to be in jackets or the occasional shirt. There’s always hope!
Flat cap isn’t really a part of his ouvre, and I can’t see it happening but he was developing some tasty leather riding gloves a while back. No idea what happened to them.

These?

Being rerun atm.
Gloves, they were all made for Japanese size hands, so I did not bother bringing them over…

Sweet, I’ll have to keep my peepers open for those.
I do have dainty little paws, but I imagine I’m in the minority there

No need to…..

I'd like a polo made of indigo thread, the same thread the denim's warp is made of.
I'd buy that. Preferably with a chest pocket, but no biggie if it came without.

Baseball t-shirts would be nice.
Have been looking for some lately. -

Have been looking for some lately.IH did some really lovely ones about five years ago. I seem to remember they sold ok… Maybe they’ll come around again.

What are the odds that Haraki would add a XXXL to T shirt sizes? I’m always right on the cusp of fitting into an XXL

I was watching a show from the 60’s the other day, and a guy was wearing a crew neck sweater that had buttons at the cuffs. I immediately thought of having something like that with IH copper snaps.

There has been a lot of talk about us re-running an indigo/indigo denim.
But, these sold like crap….

I know it's not denim, but even so......

…and why they did not sell well is anyone’s guess [emoji2369]
These in a 634S cut I would buy immediately! [emoji41] -
I’m going to guess it was because people saw «serge» and «wabash» and were put off (foolishly).
I really think the original SII and double indigo duck was before its time. If you look at the pronto indigo/indigo XHS and the success of the XHSib, and to a degree the black/black and overdyed options this year, then a double indigo XHS or 21oz would be a different proposition these days.

That was sort of my point. If I had called it denim, it probably would have sold better and about 1 in a 1,000 customers would have been nerdy enough to know the technical differences in a serge and a denim weave and pick me up on it (well denim is a serge weave anyway)….

(I know it has been suggested before, but I would like to emphasise this one more time):
an Iron Heart M51 parka - would beat everything
I know it's associated with mods/scooters, and therefore probably not a 'biker's thing', but it is also a great piece of garment to wear over basically everything when the forces of nature get really strong.
I wore mine (which is only mediocre replica) last year on Spitsbergen at temperatures below -30°C (-35F) as top layer, and it was a very good protection against winds and snow storms. And due to it's oversize wear, you can still move despite several layers beneath. Actually, it's not so much different from the parkas that arctic explorers such as Shackleton and Amundsen used. And you all know, it has been made to withstand the cold during the Korean war.
