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

The heavy chambray on this pink shirt (sample) is so good it deserves a full run of short sleeve shirts in new colors. Now that SS shirts are selling well it’s got to be the right time for them.
Not sure what weight it is but I would guess around 10 oz…brown, green, orange would be great. I like thicker fabric on SS shirts.
This pic next to the red mock twist chambray shows how much thicker it is

That color looks great for summer @motojobobo
The hammock color is pretty great too btw -
@Filthy:
How about an IHJ-54 in the Extractor veg tanned leather just in time for my birthday in November 2022 please?
Also of the sleeves could be an inch or two shorter in the bigger sizes that'd be great.nTHIS!!!!!

lol! I just came here to say that you guys should deff make a Type I or Type II in Black Vegan Tanned horsehide jacket and saw that someone kinda beat me to it!
The reason I'm proposing it is that the 2 brands that I can buy (Fine Creek & Y2) both have the jackets build for the Japanese market and the sleeves are way to short on the 44 and 46 sizes. Their length is 64 which is like a 3/4 sleeve for my 6"3 200lbs build.
I have been looking an trying for 3 months and its almost to a point where its keeping me up at night
I have bought the IHJ-64 but decided to return it because it was chrome tanned and the Type 3.
I've also bought the Y2 Leather Type 2 in size 44 but returned it because of the sleeves and shoulders, If I get my hands on a type 46, that would fix the shoulders, but the sleeves would still be an issue.If for some reason the Iron Heart Gods decide to hear my prayer, I would be forever grateful.

A slim bootcut with long inseam for stacking similar to what Dwight Yoakam wore
-
I don't know that this has ever been suggested, or considered….. How about a sleeveless hoodie ?
@dinobarnesberlin and I were discussing these topics yesterday. Would be cool to have a lighter weight raglan half-sleeve hoodie. Has anyone ever proposed the idea of the 11oz. Striped shirt/sweater with a hoodie and side gussets?
-
I saw a fellow walking around today in a summer weight fabric that looked a LOT like the old UHF 101-TQ, except it was almost a robin blue with overlaying gray stripes. It looked super good as a summer shirt.
Pardon my finger paints

@Anesthetist the TG is a winning color combo and I love the idea of a "boss check" style button down in that pattern.
I definitely like the button down style, but am among the people that passed on the shirt due to the particular "boss check" pattern that was used this time.
-
It would look good as a boss check too, but it was a bold check like the 101 flannel.
I think I’m one of the few that bought the Boss shirt (sadly), but (besides the fit being a bit blousy on me) it’s a great shirt.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry, by "boss check" I didn't mean the pattern, but rather the button-down shirt style.
-
I wish there were many more light summer shirts such as the wonderful IHSH-248-IND, especially in white.
-
It would be cool if they would make a belt like this wristband, only they backed the inside with leather too so the prongs on the studs don't tear up the waistband on your jeans…

How about long-sleeve Mechanic Shirts with snaps in 12oz. Wabash, and Hickory Stripe?

How about long-sleeve Mechanic Shirts with buttons in 12oz. Wabash, and Hickory Stripe?
Ooh, I like this idea. Always good to have another workshirt pattern with some pocket diversity. Although I think this is best with a lightish ripstop or blend, I'd still consider a hickory stripe for sure.

…lighter ripstop or blend would work for me too…
The Mechanic Shirt style is awesome [emoji41] I’d love to have a long-sleeve version to wear in the fall/winter, the wabash or hickory stripe seem like the best fabrics to fit the style in a long-sleeve version… something like the IHSH-253-BRN with snaps instead of buttons, and,
perhaps, minus the side pockets [emoji2369] -
It wasn't till 1857 that the Navy Board required official uniforms for the Tars despite having been pressed for hygienic reasons, which should remind us that washing your jeans (when they need it) is a good thing but that should you feel ambivalent about uniforms we do take your point. Uniforms do inhibit self-expression. Nelson wore his bicorn athwart-ships while others–-imagine their temerity---fore and aft. So despite the poor choice of the those whose insouciance to the Boss led them astray, we can affirm the value of discretion awarded for personal style.
I wander but I'm casting a line because I have of late seen a disturbing trend, thankfully not in Iron Heart.
Sure it's summer and 25oz may seem a bit…umm, stalwart for the uninitiated. Some would prefer lightweight denim. I'm okay with that. I spare the world the look of shorts, sandals, or super slim fits on my aging form. However, I endorse your choices keen not to impose mine. BUT when companies making first class denim start doing washed fades that are nothing more than unearned cheats, privileges taken without merit, stuff that looks like Big Box Cheap Jeans, a mild umbrage arises in my throat, my heart sinks even deeper, I fear we have a Jonah on board.
This thread is about what we would like to see IH make. "Should" is a word best rarely used without real consideration of the liberties that should be protected but I am happy to say that while there is certainly room in the world for PREFADED denim (for others, bless them), I am happy to see no such thing in Iron Heart.
Things beautiful may be beautiful at the beginning, in the middle, and as they fade towards death, but without Time what are we? And should we expedite or compel Time forward, we risk savoring the moment. (Think Dogen here.) I merely trust Haraki would agree. And may such privilege of style taken but not earned be left to those with other preferences. May all your Iron Heart be hard won, you know, in a good way.
