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

          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

            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  😠  😛

                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

                  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

                            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? 🙂

                              IMO denim and flannel are the soul of IH.
                              Not to say the other stuff isn't amazing...

                                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?

                                    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.

                                      Well a lot of workwear of the 50s and 60s was actually old military gear or derivations of it - so evolution is entirely appropriate

                                        Ok, the de facto military tech drip-down applies. I shall think about how current garb tech will be appropriated.

                                          the direction i see is forward & full speed ahead.

                                          FTW  (For Two Wheels/F^ck The World)

                                          the direction I think they should be going in, beats me I'm a friggin' customer. now i can tell you what i want  from Iron Heart. -yeah not a direction, but i like to entertain so play along- :

                                          *no more than two OD items a season to keep things fresh
                                          *workshirts/westerns/jawns in all sorts of configurations of badassness
                                          *work trousers made out of heavy duty materials (basiclly the chinos but a bit sturdier)
                                          *cordura back packs
                                          *work gloves
                                          *cordura duffel bags with internal pockets

                                          All I can think of at the moment  😎
