    I've been advocating for this for years!!

    The IHSH-38, IHPT-04 & IHT-1600 are the pinnacle of minimalist branding, imo. I find the Red W to be effortlessly recognizable. I would love to see the W on the pocket flaps of westerns, like the 526sv!

    But I understand that it might not work for all patterns. I don't mind the IRON HEART label, especially the new red tags on the IHSH-158 and the blue ones on the IHSH-159

      Doesn't even have to be a red W for me… Is why I asked for the (upcoming) olive 816 whipcords to have an embroidered dark grey W on the back...

        I snagged a second hand 38 in green and I absolutely love it. The little red W is a very nice touch and I'd be happy to see it added to shirts.

          The 48 I am selling as a red W on the pocket…..  Only shirt I have owned with one.

              The only reason I thought og it was because I just got a pair of 634 25oz'rs and I felt the red W on the pocket, and sucha tiny detail made with so much care, means so much. So on shirts, since there is an Iron Heart label in the shirt, wouldnt it be nice to have that one final flourish a W on the pocket with the same love and care? Just me with my marketing and photographers hat on. Plus it would look amazing on Instagram posts!

              Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

                For what it's worth. I've only seen 3 people wearing Iron Heart in NYC,and every time I noticed the Red W.

                  Thats what I mean, it's identifiable. Now today while doing some yardwork I was wearing an old beat-up Carhartt flannel that is about 3 sizes too big since i lost weight, but it is comfortable. I noticed on the pocket a tag like the 'Iron Heart' tag sewn in. So I wonder if the tag on IH is a link back to workwear / riding gear of yesteryear, in that case it is keeping with a tradition. It's a minor detail, but one of those things I was just curious about.

                  Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

                    Was searching for more info on that Red W when I found this forum/thread.

                    I know it's a detail that Iron Heart jeans are known for and many like it.. but personally I dislike the Red W. For one it just kinda throws off the look of the back of the jeans. It's also confusing - What does the W mean? Why a W? Why not an "IH"?

                    Also, it's identifiable and I'd prefer everyone not know how expensive my clothing items are. I think carefully removing it with a seam ripper is a good option to remove it.

                    Great brand/maker and the products are nice.

                        Strong disagree- I love the contrast of the red on the jeans. One of the first details I noticed that attracted me to IH.

                            Works Inc. I personally love it and I kind of wish the shirts had the ‘W’ instead of the Iron Heart tag on the pocket. I think that’s been discussed on another thread.

                                I never knew that existed. But it looks weird with the tag. It’s totally a personal preference of mine.

                                  There were some pocket tees made if I remember correctly that had the W on the pockets. Those were cool

                                  I'm as ugly as you

                                    @joephoto I agree. I like how subtle the red “w” is compared to the iron heart tag. I’ve often thought of removing the tags.

                                      There is another similar one (or two?) that came out around the same time. I have the 198 in my collection and fuckin love the red W on the pocket. With or without the Iron Heart tag. One of my most prized shirts.

                                          That is a badass shirt. So many cool ass unknowns to me out there. Love finding new ones to add to my WTB list.
