Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
Nice mock up. Unfortunately what makes it unlikely to happen is that it would require a whole new run of the fabric. That would be a lot of fabric, and a lot of pants. Probably more than one could reasonably expect to sell.
A few years back Haraki-san designed and produced a beautiful indigo dyed herringbone it was made into work pants, shirts, vests… but for whatever reason it wasn’t very popular and the products made from it had weak sales. The risk with a new fabric/color is great.

It's massively capital intensive, requires a shit load of water, which needs to be cleaned after use (which is one of the reasons it is getting more and more expensive), and even after cleaning, that water cant just be chucked down a domestic drain, there is a large amount of wastage (garments getting wrecked in the OD process), and after all that the patches have to be sewn on and the garments ironed.
We lost a whole run of jeans once, this is a savage process, which is why the result of our overdyeing is probably better than anyone else out there.
Hey Giles,
Thanks for the detailed explanation, makes me appreciate overdyed denim even more. A while back you guys released short films about the denim making process, was overdyed covered in one of the videos by chance?

I am looking for a badass bomber jacket for the winter months. How about a 21oz super black MA-1 style bomber, elasticated cuffs and waist. Preferably lined/ maybe removable for warmer weather. Bi-swing arms for motorcycle use as well. Would be very similar the the limited release studio dartisan sashiko bomber. I have just received a type 3 super black jacket. Things so rugged it stands up by itself.
Cheers from sunny England. -
How about an approximate arrival of the 888 duck? Looking forward to those!

Thanks! I can keep working on my xhs and 21OD until then

[emoji106][emoji41]I feel like it is time to revisit some kind of double indigo.
634-XHS Indigo/Indigo would be an instant purchase for me [emoji106][emoji106][emoji41][emoji41]

I know you guys don't do pre-orders but I'd pawn a bunch of stuff and pay in advance for a new 3xl black 64. Idk if there would be enough interest in a pre-order for this?
Mine is getting extremely thread bare in places.
If you don't know what the 64 is, it was the heaviest shirt IH ever made. The outside is like the softest and smoothest sweatshirt you could ever imagine, and the inside is like a loopwheel terry cloth bath towel. It is amazing. Like absolutely epic.

64 CPO sounds lovely

Yeah it's definitely my favorite shirt ever. I'm sold on black but I guess I could buy some procion fiber reactive dye and make it black. Also yeah a CPO would be great. I'll take either or …
@neph93 I take an evo pic in the sun for you as soon as there is sun again. I actually sat outside in my flip flops and a cut off tshirt for a half an hour today to try and get some Vitamin D. I am turning into a vampire.

+1 for a 64 CPO in any dark earthy tone.
