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

[jdl1279]

This thought crossed my mind too seawolf…like some chambray shorts perhaps?

[seawolf]

Exactly. Like HEAVY chambray. I don't want to buy anything flimsy from Iron Heart. Over engineered shorts that age gracefully and beautifully.

If I remember correctly, shorts are as expensive to make as pants… Just stating it - not saying that's a dealbreaker per se...

[seawolf]

Yeah, I can't imagine I'm the first person to think of this. What you're saying actually makes sense, and therefore, why not make pants (from a business perspective) and if the customer wants to cut them down into shorts, no big deal.

Well then, new idea! Heavy ass chambray PANTS!

Down with heavy arse chambray pants… To chop or not to chop - that's the bleedin question... Been eyeing that indigo wabash painter dealio...

Yes, you save a bit of fabric that is all.  H would make them for me, but there is no way I would sell 100 pairs per material….

That's too bad…was really hoping this one would become reality. Been wanting a nice pair of red chambray shorts for a bit

I've seen some denim dipped in indigo and iron oxide. The end result is pretty badass. Is it feasible Iron Heart/Haraki would consider using iron in the future?

Got an image/link?

Here's one.

I'm not sure exactly what the iron oxide does….In this case the warp gets dipped in indigo and (then?) iron oxide?

I'm going to bring this up again.  I know a few others have mentioned it too. Moleskin.  The stuff is seriously tough, holds up to heavy abuse and ages beautifully.  I would buy an 816 cut in charcoal, chocolate and a dark camel.  I think these would sell.  Perfect work pants in colors that aren't currently offered.  Haraki's take on heavy moleskin would be amazing.

I'll try to find out for you.

[Giles]

Thank.  I googled and failed…..

100% agree, back this, and the suggested colours [emoji3]

We're going to do a blanket lined 101J this Fall, that'll have to do for lined denim jackets for this year….....

[hajduk]

G, can it be also a 101J non lined?
