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

[Dion]

I'm just wondering why the Lefty Trucker, although longer and with pockets, is named a 526? It's a bit confusing, wouldn't it be better for destinction to call it (or its possible other versions) for example 528 (2 inches added  ;)) or 529, so everyone can see from its name, it's another version?

[Giles]

In retrospect yes.    But H and I tend to include 526 in all our own Type III type jackets…..

[Dion]

Is it confidential where the number 526 came from ;)?

[Giles]

I don't know, I've never asked….

[Max Power]

My old 70s Type III had 526 stamped on the inner side of the Buttons. Probably a denim geek will know what that means exactly.

Maybe a Harrington style jacket? 21oz super black, sateen, ventile or duck on the outside, blanket lining on the inside.

A Harrington style jacket in the olive sateen of the IHM-08 would be awesome. I love that fabric!

[superfuzz]

I don't see the point in making the lefty trucker in 18oz denim, but I would like to see that jacket in a lighter weight denim like 15oz for spring/summer.

Wish I was the @Giles living in Los Angeles, 15 oz I guess too light for IH at least 16.5 oz, but that's all in dreams, why I asked for 18, because 19 was so stiff and 18 being loomstate gives personal shape to jacket by stretching and adjusting  to individual body shape!!! But can't hold my horses by the time Giles do something, I will be too old to rock n roll :D, Monday gonna be my last shot!!!

As I have said before.  Ask a 100 people for an opinion, you get 101 different answers…..

So are you saying there is not much difference between 19 & 18? I was not too happy with 19, but  was totally in love with 526L cut!!!

[Giles]

There's a stack of difference between the denims, but I am not going to make a lefty trucker out of the 18oz anytime soon….

When IH-526J-SBG expected? Just wondering, can't miss 526L this time tho!!!

[Giles]

About 6 months, I have not even got a sample yet….....

Any plans to do a plain white, classic styled work shirt in the same vein as the great white (IHSH-36) or the TWSH-01?
Cheers,

Seems unlikely.  As I recall, both the Great White and the heavy chambray white work shirt, the IHSH-58, didn't sell particularly well and Giles had to reduce prices on both of them to clear out the last of his stock.  That's not an encouraging indicator for a new white work shirt.

I see that a like…

I wasn't aware of that… thanks for replying.

Yeah, I got the IHSH-67 when the price was lowered.  A cracking shirt, but I honestly wouldn't have given it much thought at full retail.
