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

[Anesthetist]

Could a chambray shacket be made without quilting? I would love a nice lightweight shacket for summer. Would there be enough substance there to keep it from looking like a shirt from Tender?

@Chris:

One of the things that led me to Iron Heart years ago was my dismay over jeans that were made out of such lightweight fabric that they no longer felt like jeans should feel.  11.5 oz may be great for shirts and jackets, but I think that's a bit insubstantial for jeans.

I don't necessarily disagree. 14 oz is most likely the lightest I'd be interested in, but if any brand can change my mind it's Iron Heart.

A CPO Jacket with ombre pattern would be awesome … in brown, grey / charcoal or blue

I realise Haraki-San's inspirations are primarily American and Japanese, but given there's undeniably some British DNA in the IH operation I think @Giles should try to explain the concept of the great British donkey jacket to Haraki. An IH donkey jacket in Melton Wool with a red flannel lining and leather shoulder/back patch would be the absolute dog's 'nads. @Danny RnH do you feel me?

^^ Now that would be an absolute winner, both I and DH would love to see that made… Brilliant idea

I know, right? I grew up in L'pool and got one off my mates Dad who worked on the docks. One of the greatest jackets I've ever had. And it's truly iconic workwear too.

DH when he was a rude boy up north in Sheffield was into his donkey jacket, sta prest and monkey boots ! British Heritage Piece [emoji4]

@neph93 Interesting idea. Not just an iconic piece of work wear but one with strong political overtones in 80s Britain

Very true. I got my first one from a striking docker in Liverpool at the start of the 90's, wore it with pride at many a AFA/ANL event. If IH make one someone should let Corbyn know

Great idea! I am looking for years on the Simmonsbilt Donkey Jacket.
But I´d love to see the pockets in a kind of IH style!

+1 with the Donkey J. …

I had my last one sometime in the 90s 
A high-quality IH version with leather shoulders instead of pvc, Melton wool, etc. .. great!

Apologies if this has been asked, but will there be a 634S-sbg?

[Giles]

May be…..

In the early 70's my sister was a skinhead, & most of the boys she hung around wore donkey jackets. A shorter IH version based on the orignal dj, but more fitted would be great.

Beside different types of the classic (cut) Donkey Jacket .. I owned a few years ago also this short cut version with knit cuffs - as well an interesting option 

[Black Orchid]

I rather like something along these lines..

Collar's a bit big for me. Love the collar on the one worn by the geezer second in from the left:

Looks like Kevin Rowland.. Yes, nice jacket shape but no shoulder detail.. Which I like

[madmonday]

why is it called a donkey jacket?

reminds me of the chore/work jackets Iron Heart does but in wool
