Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
Would love to see some black 16 oz slubby jeans.
(And jackets, CPO shirts etc. as well, the more the merrier)

Wrangler doesn't make their 24MJZ anymore, nobody makes a true copy (the very few that exist have an excessively long body, not the cool cropped body like the vintage ones had). In addition to the cropped body, I love all the quirky aspects: zipper closure instead of buttons, thread dot tacks on the front pleats instead of rivets, large patch style handwarmers with slash openings, round breast pocket flaps instead of the more common angular ones, and of course the vibrant lighter blue fabric Wrangler is famous for. Other than vintage jackets on ebay, I haven't seen anyone make this and capture all the best aspects of the jacket. And this jacket is just SO unique among all the other denim jackets out there, it's one of the rare ones that's different, that stands out....Would love to see someone make a Wrangler 24MJZ sort of model with the right fit and features. May as well be Iron Heart
Combining all the things that make Iron Heart amazing with a model sort of like this, with some of Iron Heart's incredible fabrics (maybe the Vintage fabric or something that starts out vibrant royal blue) could be amazing I think. Seeing a 24MJZ kinda jacket with Iron Heart's arcs on the two breast pockets would be NEXT LEVEL.
Ok that's all. My happy humble little idea:)

They currently make a reproduction of the 11 MJZ. It’s made with selvadge Cone Mill denim from White Oak. I have one. It’s an awesome piece.

@Go-For-Chill I was checking this one out! But I was bummed they didn't use their standard rigid broken twill fabric, and I was hoping for the cropped fit of the original....All that said, if you're recommending it, maybe I'll hafta give it a try as a holdover;) hahaha Would love to hear more of your thoughts on it! Did you take your regular true size? Or did you size down at all?

Have Iron Heart ever made the IHJ work jacket in wabash? I feel like that would be a killer jacket!
-
I would love a pair of 1955 in UHR
-
Did them......

Up to @Alex as to whether we do them again.......

I would even take a much lighter weight version
-
As my better half says, “you already told me that”, but more 6oz flannel workshirts would indeed be great news - my IHSH-201 is probably the most versatile of my far too many IH shirts…

@Bill-C I love that man. I could definitely use some lighter weight flannels where I’m at.
-
@sophisto000 We have been trying to redo them for years. It is always a hard n o from Haraki
-
@Giles Got it. Now I understand the old guard’s talk of grail hunting through eBay, etc.
Thanks for the reply… -
There are certain things that we would all love to see make a return, but they either proved too problematical to make in production volumes, or the workshop or mill that made the garments or wove the cloth has subsequently gone out of business, so we just cant. And because what we make is often on the limit of what can be done, there are often no alternatives to go to.....
The original IHSH-08 sample was made out of 21oz superblack denim. It was amazing and we ordered lots, but although the very skilled sampling seamstress could make it, no one else could, so it never even made production....

@teddyjay that would be pretty off-brand for IH. Do you have a link to the pics?
-
@teddyjay I think it’s very unlikely. Never say never, because when we do Haraki usually tries something new, but he once told me that he’s so good at washing jeans (from previous jobs) that he has to pretend he can’t do it now so he’s not hired to do any on a consultancy basis because he hates doing it so much. Also not great for the environment
