Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
The Great White / Big Blue were some of my favorite OG items, because they were seemingly "normal" but packed a BIG Iron Heart style Punch.
This is my opinion, and may not have any merit, but I think a few years ago when the yen was powerful, the cost to western consumers would not have completely justified a seemingly "normal" shirt that would cost ~$300 to the door. It's easy to rationalize the cost for crazy plaids, heavy flannels and stuff no one else is making (like a 17oz western shirt with side pockets), but seeing how the new 147 (short sleeve 5.5oz chambrays) are priced even lower than most companies IH competes in the marketplace with, it seems now something like an oxford, or even a western in a broadcloth material "could" work and be priced competitively even with custom fabrics and IH branded details.
I guess we will see how the new USN style SS moves - if it does well, it may be a turning point for new variations to come.
I love that H is experimenting with lighter weight materials in a plethora of options because it gives people a little more time during the year to rock IH stuff. Heck, the Camp Shorts and Brugundy 147 will probably be my go to summer party kit haha.

I know it goes against the whole Western/Work idea that Ih focuses on, but I would love another shirt cut to add some variety in mix. Perhaps a western style shirt with buttons, or a single pocket work shirt cut - something that could be easily dressed up for the office crowd - could be good in a very lightweight hickory stripe (perhaps a new color stripe like burgundy or green) or solid herringbone material.
Seconded, I don't mind wearing westerns to work everyday haha but, would like something a bit more dressy for the office when I am feeling it (single pocket oxford or even a single pocket flannel in the same vein as the 129). I haven't really branched out to other brands that have this style because I want something to be of the same quality/caliber as IH and thats not likely going to happen.

the new USN style SS, the Camp Shorts and Brugundy 147 WILL move -
haha.truth or is that 3rd'ed
-
Something close to the 107 UHF
-
Continuing the sentiment from a few posts back, I really love my 44. It has aged beautifully, and I have gotten more than a few compliments on it. I think a charcoal or brown herringbone fabric in this cut could be awesome.
edit: I realize that the upcoming grey herringbone flannel partially gets at this. I still think a nice chocolate brown shirt would be incredible.

12oz UHF are great, but any chance to bump up to some 16oz flannels?
-
A heavy fleece pull over kinda like a better Patagonia.
-
Well the heaviest they made is 12 correct? Need one or two that are SUPER heavy
Got them 9oz and 5oz flannels coming out soon
-
I am a huge fan(I am sure there are plenty others) of overdyed pieces. I know you did an OD chambray…. What about another one around 5 oz for summer? Western preferably
-
…and a 5oz natural cotton (not dyed, unbleached) western..
-
Closest thing(s) we are doing….

At least in the near future...

I am looking at my 92….dreaming of this shirt with keeping the beautiful indigo but the natural cotton being black or overdyed
-
It would be great to have some kind of short sleeve Herringbone coverall to wear over the outfit I don't want to get dirt/clay all over. Something lighter in color. It's just kinda a bummer to change out of IH quality clothes then put on an inferior solution to keeping clean. I know it's ridiculous but it would be killer to have some IH shop gear. Maybe I should think about some overalls.
