Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
As someone who recently went backwards in time, I’ve begun keeping a day planner/bullet journal to help my brain focus on 1 task at a time. This has lead me down my rabbit hole of ditching apps and as such, I ended up purchasing two things I wish IH had some cool version of.
First - journal folio/cover
Second - pencil case.For the cover - I wanted something I could beat up and toss around without worry a la Indiana Jones. The his lead me here first…traveling, motorcycles, journals all go together right?! Well. No. So off to etsy I went.
Second - the pencil case. Seems I had limited options here. I wanted something with holders and a zip. I have some nicer machined pens I’d rather not lose - only 1 fits in my work shirt pen pocket
. 95% of the options seemed to be made for children. Almost everything fabric was cheaply made or just a zip pouch that was too small.My search lead me to this-
Ironheart Dopp kit- seasonal options of fabric for cheaper/smaller 1 zip. Leather a slightly larger kit with double zip/dual compartment.
I would totally buy a Wabash kit.If not a direct pencil case made by IH - A could always use a Dopp kit as a dumping pouch but I like best and clean.
Ironheart journal cover - generic sized leather cover. Travelers/field notes/etc.
Journals and stationary are huge in Japan. Would be cool as hell to see a collab with a major pen/stationary company and IH.

@Autorotate The IH Crew are always happy to go through the stock and find you one with, say, the shortest sleeve or the shortest length if you order direct from IHUK and mention it in the order notes. There's minor size variation between every item in a line.
Generally though, I don't see this happening. The brand started as being built for bikers and Haraki-san likes longer sleeves so that they don't ride up when reaching forward to hold the handlebars.

@sabergirl Oh, my bad. I thought it could be interesting if it was integrated in certain parts(inside of the hood, etc.)

@Jim1531 No need to feel bad as there are over 12000 posts in this thread with many of our suggestions never coming to fruition. There are some genuinely great ideas that come up every few years that we keep pushing for, but there is only so much capacity at the factories and mills for them to be made.
There are also a few eyebrow raising ideas that we all silently shake our head at, but for the most part a lot of them have great foundations for future items.

like: IHSH-13 in ecru

like: IH PJs out of 13-chambray
I'd burn incense on the holy shrine of Gosport to get one of these realised.

Would love to see this list. Hopefully my XHS beer coozie suggestion isn't on this list
As an avid beer coozie collector, they definitely see some wear and tear! I guess if you had an extra hem long enough, you could make one at home.

A indigo black CPO would be great
14oz like the western
21 oz indigo black 526 !I agree with these suggestions for sure and would add them to my closet.

@jerkules In regard to prints: Already back in school I used to be the one expressing his world views through t-shirt prints. That still holds true today, but it's strictly music- or car-related stuff.
What I personally find so attractive about IH is the fact that - most of the time - the brand logos are so toned down and blend in. I don't want to look like a human billboard... -
While we're on the topic of prints:
I'm a non-native english speaker, and I don't want to come across as 'zee german' grammar nazi.
But for example on the IHSW-66-BLK, is the 'Love Ride' print correct, shouldn't it read 'Love to Ride'?
I totally get that the prints are made in Japan, it's their expression of what they view as Western/American culture and expressions.
But do these actually get spell/grammar checked, @Alex ? I assume adressing this might be a sensitive issue with Haraki...
