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

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

@sabergirl , I like where you're going with this. My thoughts have been on an IHSH-305 made with the 14oz loopwheel fabrics the hoodies are made from. Preferably, navy...

I'd love to see a phone case pouch using 21oz denim.
I currently have this lovely pouch from Momotaro Denim and it's getting somewhat close to end of life. Maybe something close to this?

@iamjustdanny I’ve been testing a Project RE:LOVE sample made from small pieces of old heavyweight denim. The multiple seams create good padding and, having used it for my iPhone 16 pro for a couple of months, I’m ready to finish it off. I was going to line it, add a copper snap closure and either a hanging loop or a long paracord strap. All thoughts welcome!
Please follow this thread for updates on this and all other repurposed products https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//topic/17534/re-love-repurposed-iron-heart-reimaginedPlease note: the seams are sewn straight! The thickness of the vertical and horizontal seams on such a small area creates this wavy effect which I like, as well as adding to the padding effect, and so I’m not going to hammer the seams straight, just leave them organic. Again, all thoughts welcome
(Thanks @neph93 for the heads up x)

@Lynne oooooh!!!!!
Yes on the copper snap closure. A loop definitely works. Though with the loop, i might attach a carabiner of some type so make it easier to attach to a belt loop.
I'm pretty used to wearing a phone pouch off of my belt loop now. As long as i can easily take my phone in and out of the pouch, I'm pretty sold
And yes, I'll follow along in that thread.

Very cool @Lynne !
Looks a bit like a guitar strap

@Lynne I just love all the things you have been making. Thank you for being awesome!

@Lynne I'm on the look out for a denim baseball cap!

I’ve come back with more pyjama ideas. Chambray for summer, UHF or the Kersey for winter.
I think the Kersey would be very well suited for loungewear generally. It’s wonderful and would make excellent shorts or trousers. Stretch is presumably a problem for tailor trousers but it’s such an incredible fabric!
-
@Daysleepers Chambray has been suggested many times over the years with @endo approaching Haraki directly with the suggestion. A very hard no…

I love this community and having the chance to salvage such beautiful fabric! As a teaser, this is my current pov, more to come on the Relove thread
