@Geo:

this is the one time where 'pics or it didn't happen' might work in her favour!

def. +1 on that!

[gbougard]

Alright, I know people are going to laugh at me, but whats the difference between an N1 and Type III jacket?

[Geo]

this is an N-1 gb

damn, i'm the only person that isn't excited about the N1.

Iron Heart doesn't do Sailor gear, unless of course Denim Sailor is rocking it.

I'll keep an open mind -as always- & I'm sure I'll be blown away by what the team does, but I'm just saying I don't get it

[nameness]

Just wait and see, buddy.  IH hasn't failed us yet.

Personally, I already have & love the MF one and living where I do I'm in no need of another.  Still curious to see this, though.

I can see Haraki doing a spinoff on a N1 for motorcycle riding purposes! Since the jacket is so thick and warm 

I can't wait to see pics of everything   

[Geo]

well if he made it from ventile then it'd be proper windproof and nearly waterproof but with a lovely natural feel instead of the usual synthetic

[madmonday]

don't get me wrong.  the clothing doesn't need a concept or  a story line or any of that at all. I am just used to the current direction of IH & am a bit thrown by the N1 & where it fits.

As all things Iron Heart, I'm sure it's going to be awesomeness.  Just trying to make some sense of it in the IH universe . . . I think I think too much. . . hehehehehe

[madmonday]

Haraki-san, not to put you on the spot, but I see you looking around 

Drop in & say hi to us all 

[TinMan]

WWII vintage look…  Haraki-fied will be beast!!

[that_was_easy]

Bring. On. The. Ventile. 

[Blackheart]

Been slammed here at work, glad y'all made it safe and are having a blast! Fall/winter collection has me
breaking out in hives as we speak…(scratch, scratch)

I think that you think you think too much but others might think what you think isn't what you think it is

But pray tell dear fellow what do you think the direction should be?

[Katsushin]

Grown up spin on 60s-70s era motorcycle/working man…
IMO denim and flannel are the soul of IH.
Not to say the other stuff isn't amazing...

[hectic]

On a related theme…

...what's the term for creating vintage reinterpretations of modern garments, i.e.: from a theoretical future standpoint looking back at today's militaria garb for example? Some mileage there or am I just riffing nonsense?

[Seul]

Evolution?..

[hectic]

Sure, but perhaps there is a sub-culture clothing opp here. Imagine a modern version of an N1 (whatever it is they issue) viewed through the same halcyon lens that current vintage reinterpretation clothing is viewed.
