Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
@Oaktavia dude I can only imagine how sick a IH cord would be. I would ding it in a CPO too. I just gotta have pockets!
-
@John-Galt you are on here frequently enough that should have known you were familiar with the 211. If the success of the Untucked is any indication, your suggestion would be swallowed up by the current iron heart consumers. The cord collar on the 211 is nice, but for the western the tonal duck collar would be all that is needed. The 17oz duck is a hefty and rigid fabric, and wear as heavy and hard as the 292 and 293 as it doesn’t soften much over time.

@Crispy-Heron said in Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?:
@Alex - what about the oiled whipcord N1 deck jacket in khaki? You have done it in black and love, what about khaki?
It's been suggested, but we are yet to see final FW samples
-
@Alex I read that Haraki-san is considering the commercialization of this jacket:
Perhaps we can convince him somehow of adding the two vertical outer pockets like on the IHJ-79? Or do you think that he wouldn't like the "interference" in his design?
-
Hmm true... I still hope he doesn't permanently remove the vertical outer pockets in the future iterations of his Primaloft jackets. IMO, they are super useful in terms of easy and quick access (e.g., for your smartphone, passport, wallet etc.) and add a lot of character to the overall design of the jacket. Wish I knew the reasoning behind removing them to satisfy my curiosity.
Anyhow, regardless of what he does with this particular model, my suggestion for a future product goes in the direction of a hybrid between an IHJ-79 and IHJ-75/IHJ-102/IHJ-08, which I'm sure anyone who owns or owned one of these jackets could attest that some type of a hybrid of these would hit the spot pretty well.

@Crispy-Heron I know this off the specific ask, but Dehen made a Red oiled N1 this year and it’s striking. Not something I would have thought to consider.

@jordanscollected Just had a look at that… wow! Just a shame about the eye watering price
-
-
@Alex - thanks. That’s clear. Here is hoping.
-
@Crispy-Heron I think I’d have been tempted if i had known about the oiled Dehen N1 before I got the IH khaki N1.. but to have an IH N1 and two shirts for the same price as the Dehen… feel like I made the right decision
-
Inspired by the overdyed flannels. This isn’t a very IH idea but I’ll mention regardless. Concept is an ombré overdye. Not an ombré flannel but an overdye that progresses from heavy, say at the shoulders, to completely undyed, or at least less dyed, at the hem.
-
Would love to see some of the canvas products from earlier years make a comeback at some point. (Or some new canvas items for that matter). Big fan of the current brown duck, but would love to see indigo and black options as well.
Products like the Double Duck (IH-526J-DD, IH-666-DD), Black Duck (IH-X526J) etc.
I realise some of these products didn't do too well at the time, and I may well be wrong, but I think they would do better now a decade later.
-
Some more colors of the 1501 and 1600 please! Maybe red/blue etc? I’ve been wearing my red zip hoodies a lot
-
would love to see the cordura rider in a different fabric, such as denim or leather with the same specs
-
Apologies if this has already been done or suggested many times over as I’m still relatively new to the IH world but how about some natural weft/sulphur dyed warp black jeans? A little more grey straight out of the bag, like the black version of the IHSH-33 shirt? Would surely fit in the line up alongside the jet black and high contrast fades of the SBG
-
I think it was mentioned elsewhere that this has been done and they sold abysmally. Sad, because I would love to see this too.
Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.
