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

@goosehd, can you expand on the chambray hard no.
I have found myself going to other brands (JP and CA) to get lighter-weight denim and chambray (and I love them, there is such good quality these days). Global warming is real!
-
@Bridger the answer to the question of making chambray pyjamas is a hard no as it will not happen whilst Haraki is in charge.
Edit: I assume that would include all forms of pyjamas as well…

@goosehd Cool - thanks for the deets

Please do another run of 1955s!
I need a pair of IH with high rise and 8” leg opening!
All my UHFs and IHSH’s are lonely

I'd still like some IH branded boxer briefs made of cotton...
-
We did one way back when - was pretty unpopular at the time, I think that fit was a bit iffy from memory
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 
️
IH chambray PJs for everyone!
