Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
I wish there were many more light summer shirts such as the wonderful IHSH-248-IND, especially in white.
-
It would be cool if they would make a belt like this wristband, only they backed the inside with leather too so the prongs on the studs don't tear up the waistband on your jeans…
-
How about long-sleeve Mechanic Shirts with snaps in 12oz. Wabash, and Hickory Stripe?

How about long-sleeve Mechanic Shirts with buttons in 12oz. Wabash, and Hickory Stripe?
Ooh, I like this idea. Always good to have another workshirt pattern with some pocket diversity. Although I think this is best with a lightish ripstop or blend, I'd still consider a hickory stripe for sure.

…lighter ripstop or blend would work for me too…
The Mechanic Shirt style is awesome [emoji41] I’d love to have a long-sleeve version to wear in the fall/winter, the wabash or hickory stripe seem like the best fabrics to fit the style in a long-sleeve version… something like the IHSH-253-BRN with snaps instead of buttons, and,
perhaps, minus the side pockets [emoji2369] -
It wasn't till 1857 that the Navy Board required official uniforms for the Tars despite having been pressed for hygienic reasons, which should remind us that washing your jeans (when they need it) is a good thing but that should you feel ambivalent about uniforms we do take your point. Uniforms do inhibit self-expression. Nelson wore his bicorn athwart-ships while others–-imagine their temerity---fore and aft. So despite the poor choice of the those whose insouciance to the Boss led them astray, we can affirm the value of discretion awarded for personal style.
I wander but I'm casting a line because I have of late seen a disturbing trend, thankfully not in Iron Heart.
Sure it's summer and 25oz may seem a bit…umm, stalwart for the uninitiated. Some would prefer lightweight denim. I'm okay with that. I spare the world the look of shorts, sandals, or super slim fits on my aging form. However, I endorse your choices keen not to impose mine. BUT when companies making first class denim start doing washed fades that are nothing more than unearned cheats, privileges taken without merit, stuff that looks like Big Box Cheap Jeans, a mild umbrage arises in my throat, my heart sinks even deeper, I fear we have a Jonah on board.
This thread is about what we would like to see IH make. "Should" is a word best rarely used without real consideration of the liberties that should be protected but I am happy to say that while there is certainly room in the world for PREFADED denim (for others, bless them), I am happy to see no such thing in Iron Heart.
Things beautiful may be beautiful at the beginning, in the middle, and as they fade towards death, but without Time what are we? And should we expedite or compel Time forward, we risk savoring the moment. (Think Dogen here.) I merely trust Haraki would agree. And may such privilege of style taken but not earned be left to those with other preferences. May all your Iron Heart be hard won, you know, in a good way.

I love the whipcord vests you have out now (showing some uncommon restraint not picking up the tan), but I grew up wearing puffers. Ever consider making a whipcord puffer? Closest I can see Iron Heart got is the IHV-32
-
We did make these a long time ago….

Not whipcord, but a similar fabric (though man-made).....
-
Chambray shorts…not cargo.

@Giles if only I could go back in time a decade and snag one
, thanks for the heads up, looks cool -

don't have to tell me twice. you know I will

While I typically love black/grey/white/indigo, the two items I got last year that for me are the winners are the IHSH 279 in that nice bright blue and the purple UHF. I'd love to see the heavyweight hoodies/sweats or the thermals in a couple more varied colors, similar to how the microfleece got red and turquoise. Still bummed I missed out on the mint green hoodie. I'm looking to get the heavyweight black hoodie, but I'd probably buy two if I could get one of them in a brighter color for when I'm not layering
