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

[Brandrea]

I like the look of the old IHJ100, the hood is nice

[PeteC]

What about smartphone pockets? My Momotaro versions have been excellent. But I have not seen them offered for sale for years. I never use the metal D-ring.

12 oz denim western shirt indigo/black, IH-33-IB

[FlavourFade]

@bluemantra I was thinking about something similar a couple days ago, an indigo/ indigo 33 would be something I'd really like but I/B is an awesome idea as well

Was there ever any talk about doing a 16oz or 18oz slubby cpo?

[Alex]

@roydub87 No, we have not sampled that as yet

[roydub87]

@Alex if you ever do I’m here for you

Just saw this on Instagram and for half a second I thought it was actually a IH product.

@PeteC this may be something we can make from IH Relove fabrics too. Could you send me some more photos, 360 including the insides and in use ie with a phone etc in place, along with measurements and I’ll have a look at making a sample. What would you improve?

[Oaktavia]

@Lynne I would love to have an IH version of those pouches!

[Chap]

@Lynne Lovely idea! That would be amazing to have!

[PeteC]

@Lynne If I can have a UPS label and a promise to have the pocket returned, you could have it in hand for a bit. I own three of that size, and also a larger one that Ive never used--it is sized for more of an XL smartphone.

The two in my photo above hold an iPhone 16 just right.

What would I improve? Not much. My oldest, the one on the left, is about a decade old. I find the metal ring pointless, but it does not get in the way. Sometimes it touches my skin, which is not great. The bottom stitching on the loop on one of them gave out, and my Aunt repaired it. Iron Heart construction would go a long way.

I think they work because they are minimalist and simple. I wear it on my belt and it is a comfortable and accessible spot that I can quickly access my phone seated, and I can use it whatever I am wearing, summer or winter.

Let me know if you would prefer to measure it yourself. If not, I can help out for measurements, photos, etc.

[PeteC]

Actually, I would reduce the length of the belt loop. At around 2.5 inches it seems a bit excessive. I dont think most people wear belts wider than 1.5 or 2 inches. It might help reduce it from sliding back while worn on the belt.

[Lynne]

@PeteC Thank you! Though I’d hate for it to go astray in transit, so please hold on to it.
If you could send pics and measurements that would be fantastic

[Lynne]

@PeteC Noted!

[sabergirl]

I think the loop might be that wide so folks could put it onto a messenger bag strap. Maybe with a few snaps for adjustment?

This is a long thread so forgive me if it’s been mentioned ….

At the risk of being flogged, I’d like to see the 666 cut in a “stretch” selvedge denim.

[AdamJ]

@Brandrea we did the 666 in the Shinayaka Selvedge denim a few years back. Just checked the old website; ended up in the outlet!

[tenuin]

While were talking about risk of imminent flogging..

With riding motorcycles at the core of Iron Hearts branding and design (back pocket spacing comes to mind, as well as the recent over shirt) has there ever been consideration regarding a Kevlar lined jeans?

[Giles]

I considered it, Haraki did not.

And I was wrong .
