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

"Salt and Pepper" denim western shirt.  Haraki San.  "Salt and Pepper" denim western shirt.

[Giles]

Well we are getting salt and pepper work shirts soon.  let's see how they go first

[gbougard]

a dark blue chino pant?

[Captain]

Shirts with mandarin style collars (like the single riders jacket):

To me, that is a work shirt. "Normal" shirt collars on working clothes must be an american or continental figment.

[jimmy]

Captain- if you take the top collar off any shirt and leave the collar stand then every shirt is potentially one.

[Captain]

True - but you need a chainsaw and a mil-spec sewing machine to modify an IH shirt.

A mandarin coller SBG shirt would be  IMO.

[jimmy]

Haha…... Well if your ever in New Zealand I'll do it for free

Yes, father

@Fincarelli:

Given the variety among the IH lineup this request seems a bit greedy, but I would jump at some murdered out superblack busters.

On second thought, how about the IH-666 "Black Metal" Edition, SBG denim with all black stitching, arcs, patch?

Uhh… best idea EVER!

[riffblaster general]

That is an awesome idea.

Haraki check out this beauty, please "model" your next western shirts of this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vtg-40s-Levi-Shorthorn-Denim-Western-Shirt-Big-E-XX-Era-/390333930942?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item5ae1b71dbe#ht_5916wt_1394
Hopefully a model in "salt and pepper" as well as demin.
Cheers.

So I see over in the Boss Talk section that Haraki-san is phasing out the use of silver for hardware, due to the massive price increases. He's been experimenting with brass, in part because he likes the way it ages.  With that in mind, how about trying some things in bronze?  It's tougher than brass, cheaper than silver (I think), develops a nice patina as it ages, and is more distinctive than brass.  The watch company Anonimo has a couple of models that use bronze cases, and they look really sweet after some wear.

[Giles]

Cool idea….G

[zhivago]

Bronze does age very nicely. I think there is some potential here.

[passthestripe]

"Black Metal" version of the 666 would be the one item that would get me over my never ending desire for a pair of 9301's! 

[jimmy]

Love how bronze age
I just had these custom handles carved out of solid blocks of bronze.

Not sure if the picture shows but it has a more deeper burnish colour than brass

[Giles]

@jimmy:

Me too.  So much so that I collect antique bronze and bell metal pestle and mortars…....

[jimmy]

i'll keep that in mind when i go antiquing.
