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

Baseball t-shirts would be nice.
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.

These in a 634S cut I would buy immediately! [emoji41]What Alex_24 said. The only reason I didn't purchase is because they are 555 cut. My body relegates me to the 888 cut in almost all cases.
-
Yep it was the cut for me too!

Put me in this ignorant camp! I seriously considered these because I love my double indigo shirt (IHSH-159) and am one of the people asking for heavy weight double indigo 555s.
I have returned IH goods before but I've never bought something without being sure at the time, correctly or incorrectly, that I wanted it. If you asked me what the difference between my jeans and chinos are I'd probably mumble 'twill' and 'weave' without being sure if they were the same thing. Add into that that whilst I like my Wabash shirt (IHSH-62-IND) it doesn't strike me as jean like and there were just too many question marks for me to take the plunge without seeing them in person.
Shame really because maybe these were exactly what I was looking for…. Perhaps it was the double indigo that put some people off but I'm sure there were others like me who were unsure of Serge.

I can't really do the 555 cut and also that is not selvedge denim. So those 2 things were why I didn't care for that particular pair.
Although, if you had some non-selvedge serge/denim/whatever and made a STRAIGHT LEG jean that had a felled in and outseam I'd be all over that.
