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

[Alex]

I don't think the vintage 18 did 'replace' the old 18oz, certainly was not a decision that I made. The decision to phase out the OG 18oz was made before I was managing IH, and I can't honestly remember why, though given @Giles conceived the denim, I suspect it was a IHJP decision

[Giles]

Yes, H decided that we did not need 2 18oz denims. He asked me what we should do, the politically correct answer was to say "let's go with the one you thought up" .....:-)

Right on! Thanks for the responses, y'all — this is illuminating. The pair of 666 that popped up in buy/sell got me longing for that denim again, and I figured I'd bring it up.

To me, it just ticked all the boxes: started out a bit crispy/aggressive, and put up enough of a fight to make the eventual break-in feel nice and earned. My pair ended up feeling really comfortable, and the fading characteristics were beautiful. Oh, and I still love my 178, which (I believe) is that same denim OD'd.

[popvulture]

@Giles I totally understand that — bit of a tough spot. Politics aside, I'd argue that your 18oz was far and away the better one. Way it goes though, I suppose.

IMHO, the 11oz. olive Herringbone Twill would make a great work shirt, especially with the orange thread chain stich runoff on the gussets.

[Matt]

Maybe some new IHTB colorways.

Purple/turquoise

Sage green/cream

Orange/black

Turquoise/grey

[Alex]

@Matt am trying to sort some new things along these lines, but not getting much traction. I haven’t given up yet, though

[Mr Linz]

This might sound a little mad but i'd love a blue/pink UHF pattern.

[goosehd]

@Mr-Linz I'd buy it...the "piglet" is my favourite UHF from years gone by.

[Mr Linz]

@goosehd Do you have a picture of said "piglet" sounds awesome!

[Mr Linz]

Very nice I'd wear the shit out of that! Although I'm also hoping for something even more pink than that or maybe blue with hot pink highlights.

[goosehd]

@Mr-Linz In complete agreement! Baby blue, navy blue, turquoise, etc...with a bright pink, hot pink, salmon, etc. and you've got a winner in my books.

[Mr Linz]

@goosehd 100 percent mate! That would be FIRE!!!

[Mr Linz]

@goosehd Could even be pastel pink with some sort of blue with pearl snaps!

[T4920]

100% down for a pink/salmon UHF, would be shooting right to the top of my buy list.

25oz Selvedge Denim Overalls - Indigo
how about this one

[Alex]

Maybe, but not in the next year or so. Have some other bibs in the pipeline

[steelworker]

@Alex don't tell @Matt that

[tody]

@Alex Yeah, more bibs that won't fit me, great
Any news on the Raglan front?
