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

That all makes sense! Plenty of cool denim caps out there — they just ain't no 21oz IH

Here's just one example, since I have been working with Haraki, we have had 4 mills that weave our duck close down, each time that happens, we have a decision; stop making duck, or find a new weaver that can weave to our specs….
I always wondered why the older duck feels thicker than the new duck… it all makes sense now.
I have a 9oz papa cap that is pretty nice, and I can wear it on the hottest summer days....def not 21oz IH

I really am enjoying the sheen and hand of the projectile loom woven denim a particular item I recently acquired has… (I am not going to mention so as not to cause any more jealousy)
I am really sorry about all the inquiries the crew is getting about that particular item now. 
the denim is so shiny and smooth. It feels like polyester and I love the feel of it.I don't know if there is a minimum amount you need to make of non-selvege denim. But I would love a pair of double indigo non selvedge 25 oz XHS. This would probably be the ultimate, final level of shiny soft hand denim that is possible.
I would love something like a pair of double front 822 made with this denim. The outseam could be felled so it wouldn't matter if they were selvedge or not. 23 oz would work too if 25 XHS was too heavy. Or maybe that alpaca lined full-length deck coat made from this projectile loom denim too. Just a thought….
I definitely want an indigo denim version of this coat. I don't care how much it costs. I'd become a gigalo of I had to

I hate presenting an idea that I saw another brand do, but Black Bear Brand has some horsehide N-1s and they are damn sexy. I'm surprised I have not seen this idea before, it's a good one (it seems Schott has leather N-1s too). The slash pockets work really well for leather.
They had several different varieties but I like this one most: https://blackbearbrand.com/black-bear-brand-factory-store/naturalarmy-horsehide-n1-deck-jacket-made-to-order
Anyway, Iron Heart's deck jacket pattern in leather I think would look great and would be different from the other designs that cleave more to the original pattern. Could retain the alpaca lining (including pockets) and collar and the leather would be very wind-resistant. An excellent cold-weather garment this would be.

Protective riding gear with pockets for armor. Maybe SST denim with dyneema (or something w/ similar abrasion resistance) as the weft. And either leather or canvas/whipcord/denim jacket w/ dyneema and armor pockets for the upper body.

We are sampling this with Simmons Bilt already, I'm hoping first sample should be done pretty soon. I sent Steve my IH N1 to base it off

Nice, @Alex !

I’m interested in this outcome!Good job reading the mind of the Stubborn Crew @mclaincausey .

My top 4 things I would like to see
Overdyed indigo Jeans
Slim tapered jeans with a small hem (I like leg openings that are less than 7 inches, ideally 6.5)
Saw tooth shirts with two button fastening on chest pockets
Western/ranger belts (sometimes called a 3 piece belt) -
@Denim dunce There are Overdyed Indigo jeans currently in existence. There were some Sawtooth westerns that I don’t think were especially popular.
-
We've dome a bunch of sawtooths in the past:

We may do one again, but as @Jett129 says, they were not amazingly popular…..
-
Sorry I should have been more precise. Indigo jeans, overdyed with more indigo. Rather than indigo heans overdyed with black. I have a pair of jeans that overdyed with indigo and they have an almost petrol like colour.
That's a shame about the sawtooth shirts. I love that classic double button look on the chest pockets (and even on the sleeves)
-
You guys should do a western UHF next year with the side gussets like the workshirts have. Like the buffalo plaid ones or something.

Prob not likely but I would buy something like this
