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

[Giles]

There is no will, because we don't want to piss off our largest retailer

Was thinking the other day … Why Wabash fabric is always double indigo ? Is it a question of tradition and heritage or would it be possible to do a white weft, black weft, OD versions of wabash products ? 

[Vincerpzo]

How about making. A 18/21oz  ma1 denim bomber jacket with elasticated  cuffs and waistband.
18/21oz Harrington G9.
Take my money lol.

My thinking is that it is a nod to the way wabash (which pre-dates denim at least as a work wear fabric) was originally produced. They would print starch spots onto a fabric and then garment dye it in indigo, and the starch spots wouldn't take the dye, leaving behind the dotted pattern. So, being garment-dyed (or overdyed in IH parlance), it resembled what Haraki has created more than it would a white-wefted denim with dots on it.

What's interesting about Haraki's approach is that it is not a garment-dyed technique, it is rope dying warp and weft and using discharge dying (bleaching a dotted pattern). But it more reselmbles that original technique.

I think it's very clever.

Everything you're suggesting is possible, and I do think a fugitive overdye could be interesting on the fabric.

I'm not sure whether The Flat Head still makes Wabash shirts, but theirs are discharge dyed, white-wefted denim.

Has anyone said 25oz indigo/black vest?

[Joberwocky]

I love my 7oz soft flannel.  I do t know how universally popular they were, but if annually the fabric was offered in a different solid monotone in either a work or western cut I would be interested every time.  The fabric just feels so different than all my otherr IH stuff

Ive been really flip flopping on if I need a 25 oz vest, but a IB variant would have me queueing up for sure

[Jett129]

Some of us were pushing/pleading for a 21OZ IB Vest.

[neph93]

21oz or 25oz ib would be a no brainer for me too…

[Daniel San]

21oz ib would be awesome

[John Galt]

I totally agree - I’m also hoping for the release of an IH-526SVib (21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Vest - Indigo Black) - please?!

[Raisinoux]

Thanks for the explanations ^^ A OD wabash would be great

+1 - my two lightweight IH flannels are super-versatile in my experience (UK, muggy, overcast, you get the idea …)

A corduroy CPO would be an amazing product. Count me in for one if they’re ever produced 

[mclaincausey]

Good call. I am not a vest guy for the most part, but a cord vest with those bronze buttons would be great too.

[seawolf]

I could wear the vest over my CPO shirt and corduroy pants for the Cord Tux!

Duck cargo shorts.

Sorry if this has been discussed recently, but I would love to see more shirting in the 5 oz. Madras fabric like that used for the 280-BLU.  Fantastic stuff especially for warmer months here in the midwest.

[Anesthetist]

A lighter toned blue denim shirt like this beauty from @seul & TW:

This shirt is amazingly soft and has faded amazingly well. I love my NIN but an even softer blue would be a great spring/summer piece. I would wear this shirt more often if it fit me better.

And a bust pimp…..
