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

We should hang in Stockholm’s archipelago.

Not much sunscreen needed especially now but the colder the water the better visibility
There are really awesome wooden wrecks, preserved in really good condition as we don’t have shipworms.

I have not really crystallized the idea what the new clothing could be, was counting on your commercial diving background. I’m quite sure you have seen the real hard stuff and faced conditions I’m not really exposing myself to (job has to be done regardless right?).
It should be something that withstands salt water, you can easily rinse it and keeps the insulating properties even when wet.
Thininsulate in one of versions is a good filler, but I was recently reading about aerogels and that seems to be the future of insulation.

olive drab and black buffalo check or ombre flannel

@Bigdog I suggested this to Haraki in January but he didn't like the idea for some reason. He said something along the lines of the IHJ-75 being a riding jacket, so he didn't want the open pockets to fill up with water. I did not follow the logic. but I know when to stop pushing

This looks epic!

[Bigdog]

@Alex Thank you! I’m glad there on the V-44.

@Alex Sounds like he’s concerned about the possibility of getting caught in the rain while riding,and having the pockets fill up with water.

[Alex]

@Jett129 yeah, I got that much, but I didn't see what made the IHJ-92 any less of a 'riding jacket' than the 75, if anything I would have thought the lack of hood on the 92 made it better suited to riding.

It is quite unique. And look, I don’t want to come across as one of those snobby cold-water-only divers. Almost every year I’m coming back to see the colors and enjoy warm waters of Red Sea

My $.02 is that I hate riding a motorcycle with hoods as I don't like the way that they can catch air on occasion and flop about.

Hiya all. I asked last year if there was any prospect of a denim CPO in a workshirt cut like the "untucked" rather than the Western style, and @Giles said it was being considered.

Any more news?

Is the white Wabash ever likely to make a comeback, in any form?

It is the "things we should do list"......But so are a million other things.......I'm sure it will happen, but no idea when.....

Someone out there on IG pimped their denim work shirt with snaps with the brass cpo snaps and it looks pretty rad. Other than the absence of hand warmer pockets it has that UnTucked look and is really dig it.

I wonder whether any scraps of denim could be made into a necktie? That way I could wear just a little bit of IH when I need to dress up in a suit.

That, and I've been invited somewhere that has a "formal attire" dress code, that specifies "NO DENIM" and I would really love to wear a denim neck tie to that to see what happens.

That's worth thinking about, cheers @Matt

I support this request, and if it was only for seeing a pic here with @EdH wearing a court dress and that thing

I made a bowtie out of denim for a black tie dinner a few years back. There is a photo on here somewhere.....

[EdH]

I could do a bow tie too. A proper one that you actually tie would be preferable. Clip ons always look too tidy.

I’d love to see the denim windbreaker make a return. Currently my favorite jacket is the cordura windbreaker (ihj-12 and ihj-88). The black and the white one. It’s a great outer layer, especially with this recent weather. Not too hot but pretty heavy for a windbreaker. It’s perfect for these Monterey evenings when the winds pick up. Good all year round actually.
