Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
type I,II,III jackets in lighter fabrics (14oz)… no matter if indigo, sbg, sb, od or even duck and what else is there.
I'm sampling in 17oz natural indigo/organic cotton Type III…...And a limited edition black overdyed Type I out of the same denim is entering production any minute....
sounds good to me…would even sound better when you´d be sampling them as "modified" versions?!
@Giles -
since the climate change daily, and it´s getting warmer and warmer even in the winter months, what about some lighter "flannels" released in those great patterns (such as the ones coming up)?
during these days it´s hard to wear IH outerwear combined with an UHF without having the urge to take off the jacket cuz of a heat wave going on under it (at least here in switzerland and in germany), so a lighter shirt (with uhf pattern), would be the way to go under a thick ass winter jacket…

I completely agree. Brilliant ideal.
-
17 oz Type III sounds great. I hope this one happens. and +1 on midweight Shirts. Something along the 37, but not as thin as the 24 would be great.
-
Yep more mid weight shirts for sure.
-
If they are that weight, yes.

-
6oz Ombre is coming soon!!! IHSH-139 Yellow Western Ombre
-
Bet my last dollar that won't happen.
-
Ooh, what would I like to see you make?
Jeans with the same measurements that the IH-634-XHS have (I applaud the high rear rise and low front rise combo), but with a slightly narrower leg opening in the larger sizes and a lighter fabric than the 25oz. They could be worn as slightly dressier jeans than the 1955 cut, the only other high rear rise/roomy thigh jean you currently sell.
I'm biased, as they have the room in the thigh and seat to suit my muscular lower body (thank you rugby, weightlifting and badminton!). If I hadn't bought the 1995 cut or the IH-634-XHS (I got the 1955S), I was literally out of jeans options unless I got them made to measure or tailored in oversized waists. I lost about 6 hours in a huge shopping mall in the UK in November trying and failing to find any jeans that fit. Slacks are easy to find as thighs have more room, they taper, and in 36inch waist it's normal to find a 11/17 front/rear rise combo. Shorts of mine I've measured also tend to have those rises.
Thanks for listening, and keep up the good work!

@den213:
Or an updated Beatle Busters-cut with slightly bigger thigh and smaller hem.
If my above suggestion doesn't find favour, this would work too. Especially if the rise in 36 waist is close to 11/17

how bad ass would this be?
14oz Indigo Dyed Canvas Duck WITH Wabash Discharge Print made into a Type III with handwarmers.

It's not about finding favour, it's about juggling what scarce resources we have; loom, time, production line time, H and the crew time, storage space and having a small enough range of products that ticks as many boxes as possible. If I polled 100 people and asked them what cut do they think I should make, I'd get 101 answers. I have to make some decisions on how to reduce that 101 into something a little more manageable….
