RE:LOVE - Repurposed — Iron Heart, Reimagined

[Lynne]

@Vik we can do it on a weekend crafternoon (that’s craft (Vik’s an excellent knitter)/craft beer/crafting cocktails/crafting nibbles - you get the gist - for anyone wondering) ️

@Lynne @Vik There better be pictures of this. Shenanigans are always appreciated!!!

[Lynne]

@goosehd we’ll see

@Lynne Even better…what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…Gos that is.

I hope you two have a fantastic time…

A new take on the Swatch bag. Instead of being made from hemming offcuts, this one is made from a pair of jeans. As such its original patch is sewn on.

This one also has a logo’d Tshirt for the lining - the heavyweight material works perfectly.

Haraki San was playing around with it the other day and immediately turned it inside out to look at the inside. We all agreed at that point that the bag looked as good inside out, as outside in.

On top of this, we can now offer this as a bespoke piece for you. If you have jeans and an old Iron Heart shirt or Tshirt, we can make your own (very) personal bag. Message for details.

Oh, thank you to my glamorous assistant!

We have the addition of some Black Wristlets and Keyrings on this restock

[Lynne]

This month I’ve focussed on black denim. Lots of fresh and faded goodies going online today. Wristlets, keyrings and coasters looking super sharp, with indigo options too. Black bags will be online in two weeks, if you want a matching set

@Lynne I'm not sure if this is possible, but we found this denim pot holder a year or two ago and use it all the time, but would of course love to see an IH version made of heavy denim. It's already a bit worse for wear. The challenging parts would be: 1) need a thick, insulating material sewn in behind the denim, and 2) as you can see, we've caught the handle-facing edge on fire a few times so I think a more fire-resistant material piece right there would make sense - maybe a nice piece of leather?

Any details on the hats? Kilties might be cool too

[Lynne]

@MM yes, we’re just finalising finished sizes.

Our most common sizes are

• Large to fit 59-60cm
• XL to fit 61-62cm

How does that fit with you?

I am working on a cap, but firstly there will be a few bucket hats in Relove denim and flannel lining coming in March.

We’ve been discussing kilties internally. I’m going to look at our Wesco ones tomorrow alongside some remnants of natural horsehide we have, and see if we have anything that works.

Do you have a particular style in mind eg do you prefer the split tongued ones, like our Wescos, or a rounded edge?

[Lynne]

@68degreesorless I wouldn’t have any fire resistant material in Relove, but we do have some scraps of natural horsehide and natural buck.

(I’ve been working on a buck-backed coaster today )

I’ll have a think!

[MM]

@Lynne
That sizing sounds fine, will stay tuned for more.

On the kilties, I didn’t really have anything in mind at first, it just seemed like a nice but relatively easy way to utilize some denim scraps. Though now that I think about it, having a snap near the bottom could be neat; throw an upgraded silver snap on there, that’s probably what I’d opt to do.
