@Ikeaparty 502 is slimmer than the 888 by a mile. I had a pair and had to sell them on.

[Ikeaparty]

@sabergirl oh interesting!! for some reason I thought it was 888 cut, thanks for sharing!

[sabergirl]

The newer cargos that are just IH are based on 888. The duck, and the military moleskin ones, and the herringbone, and ripstop from a few years ago.

@Ikeaparty The division road cargos are based on the 888 cut, sabergirl is correct to say that they ended up coming in a bit slimmer by tag size, and the fact the inseam is shorter means the taper is more exagerated, but they are based on the 888

[sabergirl]

I stand corrected! They felt a lot different.

I'd love to see a type I from a heavier fabric, but the style where the single front pocket is without a flap, I am not big into denim history but I think it's a WW2 design? A classic and minimalistic design with a modern denim and overengineered construction with all the nice details we find in IH.

Haraki posted some denim cap sample pics on instagram. I bet there is a demand.

[Giles]

There has always been a demand. We made them a few years ago, then the factory that made them went bust. "When will you make caps again?" has been a frequent question since then. We have been trying to find a workshop capable of making them ever since......

21oz Type 2 would be so sick.

[sabergirl]

21 oz. everything all the time! When there’s time to spare in the mills, of course.

Some bolo-ties to go with all these western shirts for when we want to dress up?
I'm thinking you could draw inspiration from the IH iconography, so have an IH Bell as a clasp, the 888 octopus, the 555 snake, etc.

463 BOSS cut, please!

Long answer:
99% of people can't size our boot cut properly (let alone in a 25oz). The customer returns on the IH-461 and IH-461S were off the scale, which is why we no longer offer them.....

Additionally, as @Alex has said a number of times, our production capacity is such that we can't make enough of our current core cuts to satisfy demand as it is.

It is seriously embarrassing and potentially damaging for us never to have a decent quantity of core items in stock for more than a day or two. We're the brand FFS......

Some people think we are manipulating production to create scarcity, and that hurts me personally, as we have never been, nor ever will be that cynical.

Short answer:
No

[Travis2375]

@Giles 463 is a much easier fit than the 461. Production issues aside, I doubt there would be many returns for a 463 25oz

@Giles

I’ve read Alex’s post about this several times, and I completely agree that it would be great to see the true core products available more consistently. That said, speaking purely from my own perspective, I actually appreciate the way everything else is handled now. I know it can be frustrating for people who miss out in the first day or two, but for me, the scarcity around many of the drops is a big part of what makes Iron Heart feel special. It never comes across as overproduced, and that commitment to quality over volume is something I genuinely value and respect.

Plus, I actually enjoy scouring the internet trying to track down that one 3XL or 4XL that’s still out there somewhere. It gives me something to do, FFS who wants to work all the time?

Also, I’ll take a white fatigue cloth long sleeve western shirt

Rerun of the 634-XHS-OD!

[yannis]

@Travis2375. I will second that the 463 is very easy to size but the demand has to be there to warrant a run.

A 1955 in SBG would be really cool
