…burnt orange colour would be nice
As I live in Texas, I can't stomach burnt orange. It's a color that can only be worn by overbearing University of Texas jackasses. For those of you living in normal places, though, it could be good…

Chris, I back you 100% on this and I live in MA.

Yeah, there are only two colors that I absolutely refuse to wear: Carolina blue and Texas orange. Seeing either one elicits an almost Pavlovian hate.
Of course, IH already did a shirt in something perilously close to Carolina blue, (the "sax" blue, for the non-American members) so why not do the burnt orange, too? My personal hatred of the color shouldn't have any bearing on anyone else's choices.;)

I feel ya on the Texas orange Chris.. I guess living in Austin burnt me out on that color..

I had a dream last night….that my RRL faded wabash vest also came in a brown wabash and that Ironheart made it
I think IH would sell the hell out of brown wabash in vests, painter pants, logger pants and shirts….assuming the fabric would be denim and fade... and assuming the color isn't too dark
the purpose of this thread is to find out who else would want one so IH can do a run of it
imagine how fantastic an IH version of this vest would be in a brown (medium/dark) wabash denim with a brown denim back that can be faded:

Not sure I saw that. Finding info on Wabash is super difficult. There is a bit of info (but not 100% accurate) in Rin Tanaka's Heller's Cafe Part 2.
In our case (with the current version of Wabash) we rope dye the warp and weft then weave it. Once woven we bleach the dots onto the face…..

Ok, I promise this is the last 'new product' interest thread I'll post in a long time…. but in addition to my Brown Wabash interest thread posted today, I wanted to throw out another idea that IH ought to consider making, and that is consider is a brown waxed cotton (and black, too) version of their Cotton Rider Jacket
with leather prices so high and the need for a lighter cafe racer for summer that looks better with age, waxed cotton/canvas truly fits the bill
this request is coming out of frustration I had trying to find one - Belstaff's are too costumey looking and nobody else is doing a pure cafe racer in waxed cotton that I could find in brown
I gave up looking and got a terrific tailor in San Francisco to make me one out of Dark Tan Martexin waxed canvas like this (and I will post a picture when it's done):

after seeing many, many old and amazing brown waxed cotton jackets at vintage clothing faires, it's about time somebody did one in a simple cafe racer format and IH already has a great version to begin with
imagine this in a great brown waxed canvas:
