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

[Jett129]

I was thinking about something in the knit/thermal dept. Maybe something with a slight v-neck. Might look good layering.

I’ll add to the 21oz sashiko requests (mainly due to missing out on the workshirt)…
My most worn jacket is my khaki IHJ-61, it looks great with everything. I think the 21oz sashiko would look great in this pattern. Navy/indigo corduroy collar, d-pockets like the N1, blanket lined or unlined.

I also second the coaches jacket idea, although appreciate the upcoming 21oz serge may scratch this itch.

A Wool Jeep Cap to go with my N1 deck jacket would be incredible. Built up the proper Iron Heart way. I have seen some others floating around, but would love to see and IH take on it.

Perhaps these have been made before but a run of 777 ducks in a different colour way (olive, blue, black). Is that even possible with this material?

[Giles]

Yes it is possible, but duck is one of the hardest fabrics to get a reliable supply of. Years ago when I was talking to Haraki about the limited supply, he told me that he was one the 4th mill, the other 3 having closed down....Things will not have got any better since then...

I’m guessing that the Indigo double duck will not be making a return in the near future, then …?

[Giles]

Correct - that was the hardest to make

Apologies if this has been asked semi-recently: how is the denim pipeline coming along? I am aware there have been many inquires here about new types of denim being made and often we are reminded of the severe backup that the current denim lines are experiencing. With that said, has there been any progress? Unclogging of the denim pipes, if you will? I am not currently in the market for anything new (seriously, I promise), but I am just ever curious.

@Tago-Mago hahaha, you're on fire these past few days man, I love it!

[Alex]

@Oaktavia no real updates, I'm afraid

[Oaktavia]

@Alex all good man, no worries at all. Apologies for asking, I bet these questions can get annoying.

11oz slubby UHF in a "blanket lining" pattern.

11oz slubby UHF in solid light grey, dark grey and navy herringbone. Inspired by the slightly lighter weight flannels released years back.

A cozy fleece jacket (I edited the photo of an existing green Patagonia jacket below as a mock-up/example to illustrate what I mean):

• turquoise like the IHSH-287-TUR
• high pile fleece
• double vertical zippers, zipped side pockets, inside pockets, two way zippers
• full cream, black or orange hardware contrast details

[DeeDee85]

@cityofdelusion yeah I’d buy that!

[pechelman]

Not sure I've seen it suggested, but similar to a cardigan, what about a haori? Make it out of indigo kersey or denim or both?

[Alex]

@pechelman i think thats quite a cool idea, but I don't think it would be on Haraki's radar.

[Rococo]

Any more options for ballcaps in the pipeline? Looking for a rugged cap, while IHC-19-ITTB is cool I'd prefer something without writing and more graphical in design; would love to have a ballcap with the octopus graphic on it or the piston skull, etc.

@jevans41 I don’t know if this helps, but a similar question was asked the other day and this was the response:

@AdamJ said in IHC-18-POJ - Iron Heart 'Pride of Japan' Snapback Cap - Black:

@rovdjurstorget Sorry, the factory that used to make these is no longer in business. We are looking for a new manufacturer but haven't found one we're happy with

[Rococo]

@goosehd that's helpful info, cheers!
