IHV-51-BRN - 12oz Duck N1 Deck Vest - Brown

[Alex_24]

My favorite piece of the collection! ️

[Rangadello]

I love this brown-quickly-overdyed color! If the lining were wool it would be a must have for me. I just have a hard time with synthetic material in clothing...

[sophisto000]

I want pants and shorts in this fabric too

[DeeDee85]

@sophisto000 man, shorts would be killer!

If this doesn’t sell out within an hour of release, I will be shocked.

@goosehd I think they said there was a lot of retailer interest in this - that could save a lot of people from disappointment!

This brown cloth is stunning, is there any thought in using it in other products, such as a type 3 or a vest without the warm collar? Between this vest and the chocolate flannel, you guys nailed it!

[Alex]

@jimcord yeah, i think we will look at that for future collections. A lot of the retailer love Adam mentioned yday was for the fabric rather than the overall item (sorry to debunk @ARNC 's theory) as they often struggle with N1 Vests. Let's see how FW25 goes, and you may see a return in a future season

Just curious on your thoughts, the faux collar was chosen, so it could be easily laundered, but do you think that it being synthetic that will hold the product back from success? Do you think a different material choice would make a difference in peoples minds and if so, could it be changed in time?

[Alex]

I think there are still a good number of people that won't buy synthetic fabrics, but Iron Heart have always dabbled in that world - we have sherpa lines a fair few things before, and they have sold well, this is no different in my opinion

[Gavin666]

@Alex Curious what people’s issues are with synthetic fabrics?

[Alex]

@Gavin666 its a good question, and people from certain european countries seem to feel more strongly about this than others

[Gavin666]

@Alex surely everyone that works out, runs etc has polyester clothing, all of the puffa coats you see around are synthetic. So many synthetic items out there chances are those that feel “strongly” about them will have at least one piece at home.

@Gavin666 i'm with you mate

Funny enough, this is what brought me to IH. Last year I decided to get rid of all synthetic from my closet. I donated every item I had with any % of polyester on the tag. Even my underwear and workout gear is now 100% natural.

This was all motivated by a shift in mentality to take the best care of my body that I could. Not wearing plastic against my skin was part of that. I also changed my diet at the time and have lost 40 lbs!

Along with the fabric choices, I decided to omit all fast-fashion items and only buy clothes from makers that took pride in what they were producing. That is how I found Iron Heart.

Ditto, brother! I’ve been blown away both by the passion you and your team put into what you produce, and the community behind it all.

[jimcord]

The people on this forum are so amazingly refreshing, so many different thoughts and opinions yet respectful towards one another! I truly love reading these threads!

Personally, I cannot wear wool without being covered in an itchy rash. So I personally don’t mind synthetic. I’m sure it’s of the highest quality.
