Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
I'm guessing this has come up before, but have y'all ever considered running the 1955s in XHS? Maybe you have already and they're just extinct.
Anyway, just curious! Been on a big trad / high waisted fit kick lately and I'd love to have the XHS in such a config.
EDIT: a search on the site seems to indicate that's never happened, but I do see a 1955 UHR… I'd certainly go for those if you're planning on including any of the 1955s in the upcoming run.

Guessing that's a no
I guess my post was halfway between a suggestion and a question, so in the spirit of the thread… I think you should make an XHS 1955.

I think it unlikely. It wasn’t that long ago that G was considering nixxing the whole cut. It is almost as marginal as the IH-436. Shame though as the only reason I haven’t tried the 1955 is due to the amount of 21oz I already own. I’d take the plunge if it came in XHS or UHR.
-
Yeah that's kinda my deal, too. I really like 21oz but I definitely like XHS better, and I think some other denims like the (pre-vintage, haven't tried that one yet) 18oz edge it out as well. That said, if the 1955s are ever phased out, I'll definitely pick up a pair if there's a final run (right now sz 33 is out in the 21oz).
-
I think the justification of a 1955 in UHR is that it IS a repro cut, so having it available in an unsanforized material is only fitting - plus, it opens Iron Heart up to more heritage minded wardrobes and those who limit themselves to heritage cuts in UnSanf fabrics.
Also, I feel the cut works so well with the UHR due to the aggressive taper, roomy top block, etc - it's a fit that is entirely comfortable day 1, even with the aggressive material.
With that being said, @FormulaPfaff 's 1955-UHR are the most spectacular jeans I have ever seen. I wish I would have snagged some new photos of them when I was with this past weekend, but maybe he will see this alert and post come cough cough
-
Yeah for sure, I think that the heritage thing is a little outside of IH's normal neighborhood. It certainly has some offerings that lean that way, but there's no 12"+ rise, really straight leg kind of jean happening aside from the 1955, which still has a fairly tame hem. I'd love to see something with a 9" opening.
I know IH has ventured outside lately with the slub denim, so hey — why not try a fit in the trad direction? I'm not saying old-timey or anything, but as a tall, skinny dude, I really get into that sorta stovepipe thing.

@Jakederoche Here’s a picture of me wearing the 634 GR jeans slightly faded.
Love the picture! Thank you for taking the time jet! And also, yes; would be interesting to do a wash out with some Oxyclean on the fade to Greys ! Not sure I can handle the sacrifice on that experiment though! Best bet will be to put the fade to greys I have to work! They have been in the closet for a few months. It’s about that season to put some serious hours on them though :))))

Crazy idea [emoji362] What about giving the white/bleach dots treatment to the 14oz. Indigo/Black denim, and then using it to make some 14oz. Indigo/Black Wabash painter‘s pants and bib overalls? [emoji41]
-
Hello - my first post… as a newbie.
This jacket in terms of cut / weight / colour looks great but is a seasonal run and is OOS in my /almost all sizes:

Are there any plans to repeat this?
-
Hi there.
We will likely make it again (but no guarantees). However we have no 14ib in stock atm, so we are re-weaving as I type….
If you want an email notification when/if we restock, please do this:

Good luck......

Thanks Giles - will do
Will contemplate 14oz black cord as a Plan B:

Oh and will set a notification up ….

Is there any possibility that the 21oz denim cap could be re done?
-
@pjw241142 We're taking orders for the 526J-142ib at present so will initiate a production run with the newly woven denim @Giles mentioned in the coming weeks

@neph93 What waist size are you these days. I may have a waist size 34 1955 UHR sitting in my closet that I would donate to you. New unworn.

please?
