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

Has IH ever made a pair of swimming shorts? I was sat on the beach last week wishing I was wearing IH.
In my mind the pattern would be based on the IH-726 cargo shorts, but made out of a quick drying blend with a little stretch for comfort while swimming. I prefer the kind of swim shorts that go over a pair of speedos (rather than that ghastly sewn-in netting) and I like to be able to pat them down with a towel after a swim, and only have to wait another 10-30 minutes for them to be dry enough to put my shit in the pockets and head straight to a bar or restaurant.
Edit: and one of the back pockets should have a zipper closure, e.g. for cash to be safe when swimming.

Have you ever sold banners?
Would definitely love to have a big sheet of IH denim with the IH logo. 21oz, 25oz, 19L you name it.Would be a cool reference as well, to compare the untouched denim with whatever item you're wearing as it's fading.
(Perhaps a good use for some of the rejected/imperfect denim, if you'd rather use the good stuff for clothing, and Haraki would allow it)

How about a waxed CPO. Either canvas or denim.

@Karol like the Fox green wool too
It gives me those CPO vibes

I love the new A2 deck jacket, and I'm sure it will sell out quickly.. but I already have an N1 deck jacket in olive, so it's a bit difficult to buy another olive one, so I hope it will return next year maybe in a gray or black version 🩶

Pennants out of scrap fabric would be really cool. Old school baseball style. With some sick Tetsu-San graphics. That would be a great add on to increase the average sale quantity.
We have been working on various concepts using scrap denim from the RE:LOVE program. Watch this space

This is a cool idea, and we have asked but seems to be something Haraki is not comfortable doing as despite our many questions we never seem to see any results

@Alex That's too bad, even if it's not surprising. (And I can definitely see that point of view).
I still think there could be a way to do it that would get the message of quality across, perhaps even enhance it. Print something like this on the back for instance:
This is made from rejected denim.
No piece of clothing leaves our factory unless it’s 100%.
Iron Heart quality.That's what I love the most about Iron Heart personally, the unrelenting quality.

@Alex thanks for letting me know really appreciate it ~ looking forward to add a A2 deck jacket to my winter gear in ‘24

An easily foldable and light Ripstop/Cordura shopping bag like this:
Edit: I just saw that there is the IHG-096, which is basically what I'm suggesting here, but I think it needs to be bigger like the one on the photo above and if possible, with a different logo or no logo on it.

Dark, dark Burgundy Wabash shirt
Found myself daydreaming about such a shirt fading into reds, and eventually pinks whilst putting on my Indigo one today ...
