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

I think that the “Jest” would be cool and possibly more appealing to riders if it had snaps instead of buttons. I think Haraki mentioned that he thought riders would like it. This way you could size up,and wear it over a heavy IH hoodie. You could also employ vest extenders so it doesn’t flap around when riding,if you wanted it unbuttoned. And last but not least you could use the short sleeves for additional patch space. Snap down collars would be great as well. Harley will have this out next year.

@Jett129 could be a good way for a biker to be very clearly not wearing a kutte

[Jett129]

@mclaincausey Were you by chance a Sons of Anarchy fan. As that was where I first ever heard the word “kutte” in reference to an MC Club vest.

@Jett129 I looked up the term on english wikipedia, to see it's referenced there. Originates from German, so it was quite surprising to see it mentioned here.

[Jett129]

Several years ago SOSO Bros. made a shirt for me and when it was assembled they put the sleeves on backwards. It was Giles who figured it out. They told me to keep the shirt and remade it for me. I decided to have my tailor turn their mistake into a short sleeve shirt. I’ve only worn it a couple of times. Just to illustrate how Haraki’s short sleeve Type III might be with snaps.

@tody I had to look it up as well,when I was watching Sons of Anarchy,as I said,that was the first and only time I had ever heard a vest referred to as a kutte.

I think the traditional Kersey in a modern chore silhouette would be lovely. Brass buttons...Yes Please.

@Jett129 yeah I watched most of it!

Sashiko type 3

The 21oz jacquard loom sashiko in a type 3 jacket… or a western with brass snaps…

There’s indigo everything and no indigo serge western shirt? How can this be?!

[Matt]

@John-Galt I’m pretty sure there is.

@Matt duh on me - I know that, I have the Kersey - - I meant “serge” not “Kersey” and edited. A little too much Bookers tonight.

Retch-inducing is not necessarily a bad thing. I am sure than the US has a similar product to our Ford Sierra Mk I.

It was launching to howls of derision from consumers and journalist alike in 1982. And was promptly nicknamed "The Jelly Mould. It was awful and would never sell, we said....

It's hard to understand that reaction now (because it looks sort of normal now) because it spawned a whole new generation of jelly mould cars. What was retch worthy and a thing to mock then, is the norm a few years later.....

Merkur XR4Ti. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkur_XR4Ti

I remember my dad had the UK version, the XR4i when they first released them, drove it back to the UK from the factory in Germany.

Denim ball cap?

working on something here...

As a man who has to wear a hat most of the time, this is good news.

Tees in the 6.5 or 7.5oz with a Henley button-neck. Loopwheel fabric, no side seams (on the sizes that allow for that) per usual. Short or long sleeve, I don't mind.

And just figure out whatever's wrong with the IHPS and bring them back.

[mclaincausey]

I knew that thing looked familiar. Sadly, we were unable to escape the XR4ti stateside as well

[mclaincausey]

@EdH great idea. I have a short sleeve Henley as described from Mack Weldon and love it. An IH version would be great.

@Alex ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@mclaincausey

You got a 2.3 turbo and no Ford badge, ours had a 2.8 V6.
