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

^^ Cool pic, and a great idea as well. Perhaps a separate thread called "Used and Lovingly Abused"!

Spill the beans!!!

@UnTucked - I guess we’ll find out when we visit Japan next week…!

@adam313 This is a great idea.  @Lindsey and @sam are working on some "fade galleries" at the moment, which will hosted in our gallery.  But we could expand the remit of that and use some specific threads on the forum to captu=re those images and feed the gallery.

Whipcord CPO, or a whipcord 160 with snaps instead of buttons

I was thinking how awesome a whipcord windbreaker would be.

I thought a CPO would be easy to sell, of course, but a single-layer jacket would be awesome… A very simple design, like the IHSW-01 or IHSW-16 would KILL IT!

Whipcord hooded jacket with a wind proof inner ftw!!

^Now we're talking!

I'm thinking along the lines of a fishermans parka, plain front,two hand warmer pockets,draw string Hood and waist, double zipper and big buttons.

Ditch the zipper, and make it a pullover

In my opinion a hooded pullover is far too specific a garment. It loses 75% of its practicality and utility by removing the zip, and would be far less marketable.

A fishermans parka with a zip is a utility jacket, and a hooded, wind proof and potentially waterproof spring/ summer/ autumn jacket is something missing from the Iron Heart range.

Only in England do "summer" and "jacket" belong together, lol.

Now we are talking 

In between ^this and a short cut M51 with 4 front pockets (handwarmer pockets on the top).
Big matching Snaps.

Gimmick: A large, anatomical to reach, back pocket.
Like the old motorcycle jackets.
A new Japanese interpretation of the beloved Enduro Style.

Pullover are a pain in the ass.  Zipper would definitely sell better.

It has also been argued that branded garments (embroidery, screenprint, patches) are highly specific garments with a small hypothetical demand, and yet many things still have branding and sell to happy people…

As long as there is not an anomalous sizing issue, an unbranded pullover would be awesome, just like the Ihsw-23 is AWESOME. But I'm totally fine with an unbranded zippered hooded fisherman's parka too. Hood + Pockets= Win IMO. But I still need to save for all the other things that are getting made or are already here that we asked for, like the Ihsh-157, so my vote is diminished....

Thanks to all for the continued creative contributions. It's fun to think about new IH...
