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

@Aussie-Ben you and me both brother.

21oz sbg cargo pant

25 Oz denim "shirt"? With a bit shorter sleeves that you have 18oz one?

[neph93]

@rimaarts not really an option for the same reason an IH 25oz type III jacket doesn’t exist. The denim is so thick, and tricky to work with that the amount of felled seams make it impossible to make well.

[rimaarts]

@neph93 well samurai apparently makes (or made?) 25oz jacket... Soso denim makes even 33oz chore(probably quite so so but still)... So I guess it's not impossible? Really really hard, yes...

P.s. type 3 doesn't exist? Any tops 25 Oz does exist?

@rimaarts theres a 25oz vest

[neph93]

@rimaarts you’ll notice I said impossible to make well. And that is Haraki-san’s conclusion. Not mine.

[neph93]

@hjl360 correct. And that was decided to be the limit. The challenge was the seams on the sleeves and the cuffs, which also negates the shirts.

At the end of the day @rimaarts never say never. But the denims you mention are not IH 25oz, and the brands aren’t Iron Heart. Until the Boss finds a way of doing it with his denim, that he is satisfied with, it won’t happen.

@rimaarts I have an 18OZ Soso denim shirt,and while it’s a nice shirt and I like it,I have a tough time believing that it’s as heavy weight as my 14OZ Iron Heart shirt. The craftsmanship isn’t even remotely close,but then it cost a lot less. The old you get what you pay for.

Let‘s be honest: sooner or later we all will need reading glasses and we all will sooner or later misplace them. For sure there are a lot of straps but as denim lovers, we need a very special strap. After my 777-25 oz was hemmed, I had some leftovers. My wife Susie had the brilliant idea to make a glasses strap out of the leftovers. And she really did a great job! This must be true love….

Maybe another idea for the project RE:LOVE

@Marc2706 cool project and your wife did an awesome job. I love those frames too…mind if I ask what they are?

[Marc2706]

@SKT thanks a lot for your kind words! The frame is from Jaques Marie Mage. As far as I know ithe designer is from France, they are located in Los Angeles but the frames are built in Japan.
