Main thing would be snaps or a closure on the bibs.

@Kasi Pimped his to do just that......

Chambray pyjamas, popover style.

Calling @endo

I know what a Japanese 'no' is (since I asked Haraki myself).

[Giles]

A Japanese no, is maybe.....

[Kasi]

@Giles

Need some grown balls to pimp like I do
Thanks for tagging me

[Niney]

Lol make the chambray pyjamas happen. The thought of going to IHUK for try on makes me chuckle. Whole new experience in that changing cubicle.

[Krigga]

The search didn’t bring anything up, so I hope it hasn’t already been suggested. The coasters gave me the idea: have you ever thought about denim bookmarks? Could be a great way to repurpose offcuts – and indigo stains in a book? Bring it on!

[DeeDee85]

@Krigga I would buy one of these

[Daniel San]

would love a 555 or any other kind of pants that are in a slimmer cut, made of 21oz wabash 🫶

@Krigga I’m working on a Relove sample atm! Recycling waistbands into bookmarks…follow for progress updates in the coming week or so at https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/17534/re-love-repurposed-iron-heart-reimagined

More sashiko! It's pricier but it seems like it's always popular when a piece gets released.

[Krigga]

@Lynne That’s exciting news! I’ll keep my eyes peeled.

[SKT]

@Lynne bookmarks are a great idea! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

18oz untucked CPO

[Jett129]

@Choko I don't mean to be snarky,but are you aware of the fact that there is currently a 21OZ Untucked CPO sample being faded by our very own Oaktavia? Or do you think there should be both?

[Choko]

@Jett129 oh yeah I’m aware. Just saying there should be both. I saw the recent release of the 292 and it’s just such a nice looking denim

Have you thought about making 727/721 chinos out of the Kurashikizome cloth used for the 144-BEI? How does that cloth differ from the one used for the 730?

[Karol]

All T-shirts made of mercerised cotton are of a light nature and I never seen heavy oz one.
Iron Heart could pioneer such product (11oz). And an indigo one could be one of the colours offered.

[Alex]

@Tago-Mago no, we havent. What do you prefer about that fabric than that used for the 717?

[Tago Mago]

@Alex to me it's drier and crunchier, which makes it less "dressy" for lack of a better word, which would give a slightly different style. Plus, the colour is a little different, which I actually prefer to the 9oz mercerized khaki. But that is my personal preference, obviously.

In terms of feel and colour, what's the difference between the 12oz from IHJ-144-BEI and the 12oz from IH-730 for example? And are there plans to use the dyeing method for other chino fabrics as well?

The 730 is lighter in colour, and perhaps more hefty. Aside from that, one is a chino and the other is 'just' a twill (https://texsuppliers.com/chino-vs-twill-fabric-difference).
You can see the difference between the two in the macros:

Not currently, but i wouldnt be surprised if we moved that way
