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

[David K.K. Hansen]

Could one coaster be included in every future pair of pants sold?  Made of the same material as the pants themselves?  Or are the coasters too pricy to make to make it a freebie?

Yes - if they were easy to make at a sensible price, we'd still be making them….

And manufacturing costs have gone up about 20% in Japan in the last 3 years, plus the Yen has strengthened about 20% against the USD, so margins have plummeted anyway...

I was afraid of that.  Oh well.

And they weren't cheap five years ago…

I tried to buy some leather patches to use as coasters when I visited The Works in Kojima….. I got the standard "Japanese molar suck" followed by a very gentle "No... So sorry."

Orange and black would be neat but probably too Halloween.

A marl grey IHSW-23 would be tremendous.

Probably going to happen. IHSW-23 and an IHSH-10 version.  Squared it away with the The Iron Heart Zoku yesterday, just need to collect orders from retailers, let's hope we get enough orders….

After seeing the Wescos built for seawolf, I was struck with an idea. I have two builds before this on my personal list, so I hope by sharing someone, even if not G, picks it up.

10" Jobmaster w/Packer upper
Single midsole
705 half sole
2 lifts lower block heel
All eyes (no hooks)
Dress toe cap
Flat waxed cotton laces

Could be made in Brown Dom w/brown mid, brass eyes, olive laces

Or Black Tie w/ brown thread, brown mid, brown laces (or completely blacked out)

The idea is shaped by a 40s US paratrooper boot, so I'm calling the idea a Jump Master

Are there any plans to release another heavyweight chambray like the IHSH-16's?  If not, is there any chance of running IHSH-13 and/or 21 in additional colors other than just blue and black?  Natural, olive, burgundy or chocolate brown would be tempting.

[Giles]

The minimums for our heavy chambray are enough for about a 1000 shirts…...That's a big ask.........We had to think long and hard about the black....

[Clint_D]

Gotcha, that's a bigger hurdle than I would have expected.  Thanks for the explanation.

How did the black ones sell? I love mine.

Good, but it helps because they are sold in Japan too….
