Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
a nintendo switch bag.

@WhiskeySandwich gimme an OD duck work jacket too! Seconded for sure
-
@Matt i imagine it would get color like H’s worn in black big buck. I’d love that on cotton…. Or it would just look filthy dirty like I rolled around on my garage floor in an Untucked. But I’d still love to see it.

@WhiskeySandwich I’ve worn my Untucked today can only imagine how good an overdyed version of that would be… maybe a western CPO for some variety. F**k me.

Y'all make pillow covers from UHF so might as well add to the housewares collection with napkins made from things like hickory, Wabash, chambray, 11oz tee material, and of course xhs. Include a button hole (or a snap ?) on one corner to wear as a bib and brand them with the red W.

Has a ib od been done yet? Xhsibod? Sounds fun to me

XHSIBOD WHAT IN THE WORLD my brain is doing backflips.

There’s this dude I’ve seen at the MD ren fest and on IG: wheel walker stunts, Ichabod, wears iron heart. He’s awesome. I thought of him when I saw that typed out, like Ixhsibod or something. Collab! lol

Paging @Nik, the resident self overdye alchemist. Perhaps he's done something along these lines?
-
I’ve stuck to 21oz, but what might be good about dyeing heavier weights is that the dye might penetrate the fibres less, yielding better fades with wear.

Posting my annual remake the IHJ-61-NAV or something similar
-
Agreed. Would be nice to see a handful of once made items return. Given the extensive catalog and forum demand of sought-after classics, how amazing would it be to have an entire collection devoted to remakes? If it goes to a vote, top of my list would be the IHSH-260-PPL.
-
We do remakes and reruns of old classics from time to time, but we can't even keep decent stock levels of our constant items. Capacity is seriously limited so what we do make is a juggling game

It would be nice to see back IHSH-295-IB with the same snap buttons
along with this don't know the name UHF with those sexy snap buttons
Generally speaking, once on the IH website there was a page named "Extinct Items" where could be found literally tons of very cool products which for some reason were discontinued. The page is gone for a good while now but I'm pretty sure it could be an excellent guide for those of customers looking for
oldy goldy IH stuff. In my humble opinion it would be better alternative to attempts of trying to reinvent the IH wheel -
@Giles what are the factors that limit the stock levels of Continuous Production items Giles? Is it primarily the nature of the garments being high quality, the materials being high quality, quality = time, etc? Or other significant factors as well?

Our stuff is hard to make. For instance, any Tom Dick or Harry can make a pair of lightweight jeans, but as you move up the weight scale the sewing (well even the saving) gets exponentially more difficult. The same applies to any type of garment really. So the number of workshops that can actually make our stuff to the quality we demand is really limited. We therefore can't make what we want in the volumes we would like, so we have hard decisions to make all the time. Nothing in this world is black and white but at the margin, these are the 2 extremes. Let's make sure we have a good supply of continuous production products continually, then we have no space for seasonal products or let's have shit loads of seasonal products, then we have no space to make continuous products.
