Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
Hi, first post. Longtime lurker, but I don't think there's much to say about me personally. Thus no introduction in the dedicated thread, sorry. I hope it's not too rude to barge in with an idea of mine. I haven't read the whole thread (classic n00b mistake, I know) so I hope it's not been suggested before.
I love my German Army Parka and it has been one of my most beloved pieces of clothing ever since I bought it 7 years ago. Has always kept me dry and warm, even in it's current state (fucked up and in need of repair). This reliability is something I kinda associate with Iron Heart and I would really LOVE to see Haraki-san's spin on this.
Now, I personally don't give a fuck about repros. Anything goes. Brown or black cotton duck? Paraffin coated in olive like the messenger bags? 21oz Superblack? 21oz indigo? I think any of these options are potentially badass… The original parka is far from perfect. The hoodie for example is a real pain in the ass sometimes and should be far more adjustable. As soon as you remove the inner lining, the jacket feels like a chute... basically not wearable anymore. Etc......
Again, I hope nobody's pissed off because I haven't introduced myself properly anywhere on this board.

Holla, I like your style! No problem with that first post. Just hope it isn't the last…

Probably been covered before, but an enhanced IH Messenger Bag (of any size/colour) with additional clasp/zip fastening… I'm super paranoid about losing stuff from my bag
@riffblaster:
here is something i've been wondering for a while…..is there any chance of TW OD's? I would DEFINITELY buy a pair of those.
There is a pair of TW's od's… They were protypes I believe, i was lucky enough to win them in a forum auction. 32x35 but very, very slim fitting though, the thighs are a bit of a squeeze even for my wee legs. I'm wearing my pbj's a lot the now but when I go back to these for a bit i'll get some more pics up.

Wow, what a warm welcome, this board is really one of a kind….
Lando: we will see, still saving for my first Iron Heart pieces... Until I take the plunge, I will still feel like an outsider.
Seul: hey, I'm all for randomness, you guys are the life of the party, man... This board needs rather more than less of this!
Giles: awesome! BTW I lifted the pics off of rakuten.com, these parkas should be readily available in Japan, if he needs inspiration. Hell, I would even send him my old parka, if he wanted me to.

Holla, great idea. I've owned a few of these over the years, ace coat & damn they were cheap, I'm sure i paid about £10 for a pristine one back in the late 80s. wore it constantly for about 3 years 'til i lost it in some heavy drinking misadventure :-\
had a black one too. would love to see what Haraki's take would be. oh, and welcome! -
Holla, Haraki would love to get hold of an old one if your are up for it.
now that's exciting!!
-
Holla, and why dont you come to the party and discuss directly with him…....

Done.
Note from Haraki re: old jacket shipment:
OK

HARAKIIt is really fucked up, tho… I hope it's not a problem. I'm gonna give it a good wash before I send it out.
