We know you love IH, but where do you think we can improve?

I was gonna post this but ya beat me to it Ann!

@neph93 Totally but I need this on my 293-OD. Or maybe facilitate sending to Japan and back? I’d probably pay $100 to fix sleeves at some point. Not sure anyone would make money but could make some customers happy.

Probably said a million times but I would do chump change remote work for the @iron-heart-information team or any of the crew just to be able to buy more stuff …. I’ve worked for a company discount before and I’m not above it again lol

Hey everyone,
I’ve been getting into cycling lately and stumbled across a site called Bike Insights. For those who haven’t seen it, they take frame geometries and turn them into "stick figure" overlays. It lets you visually stack two different bike frames on top of each other to see exactly how the angles and dimensions differ.
It got me thinking: Could we do this for Iron Heart gear?
We all spend a lot of time obsessing over size charts and comparing our best-fitting shirts or jeans to the new drops. Imagine if we could select two items from the IH database and see a visual overlay of the silhouettes. It would take so much guesswork out of the "Should I size up?" struggle.
Benefits would be:
Less "analysis paralysis" with size charts.
Visualizing the taper in different denim cuts.
Fewer returns/exchanges for the IH crew.

@scarfmace would this help you?

@goosehd this is exactly what I'm talking about, but more in general across all clothes. the Link is wonderful if you want to onderstand how a specific cut is different from the next, but if you look at 2 pairs of 888's in 21oz, one OD and the other Plain indigo, size charts for a size 33 will be different between the two. If you put the sizecharts for both pairs in an excell and let in generate an image you can overlay both and have a much more visual understanding of the difference.
-
@scarfmace It’s a great idea, but would be extremely hard to make. For example in one run of jeans (or clothing item of choice) there are slight variations between items in each tag size due to the way they are made. Comparing that variability to items in other runs or to other items would make it infinitely more complex.
Then you have to take into account how each fabric behaves such as stretch, shrink, etc.
Not saying it’s impossible, but there may be a reason you haven’t seen this type of product in larger clothing manufacturers being used.

This wouldn't replace the need to understand fabric characteristics, but it would bridge the gap between a spreadsheet and a real-world fit. Since IH already captures these measurements so accurately, we’re 90% of the way there. We just need a way to overlay that info.
I wouldn’t bring it up if I didn't think it would be a huge value-add for the customer base. Bike Insights (https://bikeinsights.com) is the perfect proof of concept for how well this works.

It is a cool idea, works well with bikes for sure. I'd worry it would be a lot of works from a back end point of view. If you needed a 'frame' per size of each model, there are 167 products in "Bottoms" alone, which have 13 tag sizes per prod so well over 2000 frames.
I do agree with Goose in that the variation would introduce another factor compared to bikes which are presumably milled to very specific dimensions on a machine as opposed to being a relatively flexible fabric sewn by hand
I'll keep it in mind
