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

[neph93]

The split steer looks fantastic. Pretty much anything you make from it would catch my eye. And I certainly approve of the hardware selection. Combined with a kickass pattern, what’s not to love?

[rocket]

think that would look pretty cool...

If you're looking for any more visual references to @Appfaff 's suggestion, the Schott Mission is a lightweight, unlined Café Racer. Snake Oil Provisions have better photos on their website.

Rather than having zipped pockets on the chest, it has a pair of hand warmers done as patches.

The pockets in unlined jackets can look a mess. This Himel isn't too bad, but I've seen others from him that are worse.

(I'm a bit OCD about unlined jackets. I don't have a spreadsheet, yet…)

[JDelage]

How much lighter are unlined jackets? Are they comfortable in spring / early summer?

[UnTucked]

And a fabric version of the same thing would look great as well…

Maybe duck, or the 14oz denim?

@JDelage:

Depends on the thickness of the leather I presume. The Split Street is a “Split Hide” anyways, so it is presumably thinner than the leather used in the J-35 and J-54, but I bet it’s beefier than the thin leathers used on Schott or other jackets.

I think a Suede Cafe is an elegant offering in either the chocolate or brown. It would look great with a smart kit like the new Silk shirts or great over a T-shirt.

Plus, the addition of Zipper chest pockets would make it 1,000x more desirable than the Schott IMHO - jackets deserve pockets to create the right lines.

I am not sure if this has been mentioned on here… buttons. I love your selection but I would love to see a plan brushed brass button, small or large would be fine.

I would love to see IH make a peacoat using leather such as the Ezo Deerskin (Black or White).  Although horsehide or the suede would also be very nice.  Hmmm, chocolate suede peacoat…  Just a thought.

[Mario3309]

I would love to see the pea coat with contrast stitching. And maybe in a darker denim - double indigo would be amazing.

[JDelage]

I'd like to see (but I cannot say I would buy…) some outerwear in waxed denim.

Really nice Idea, almost bought a white Type 1 the other Day.

[Appfaff]

Thanks @Steffen - I am one of the “white jeans enthusiasts” on the forum, so I will no doubt be in the minority, but I would rock the shit out of a white Type 3, and the paraffin coating would make it pretty resistant to dirt etc

I still mourn the fact that the ivory pique type III never happened. Somewhere in the world there’s a sample of that jacket…. [emoji22]

[Giles]

It is on the back of one of my best friends.  A guy in his mid 70's who was on HMS Glamorgan when she took an Exocet in the Falklands.  I wore it one BBQ and Boules evening and he fell in love with it..

[neph93]

Then the jacket is living it’s best life.

I was nine when that kicked off and I remember the coverage of the whole conflict like it was yesterday. It was when I started reading newspapers and my parents let me stay up to watch the 9 o’clock news every night. All honour to your friend. He has great taste too.

[Hematoma]

would love a pair of chinos with straight slash pockets like this. Subtle detail but for some reason I really like it, maybe because it looks a little more casual than more traditional versions.

[sabergirl]

I too prefer slash pockets that aren't on the seam.  816 is close.

[JDelage]

I'd like to suggest some outerwear (traditional type II? Square tail CPO?) out of the IH black wabash, maybe in a heavier form.

[David K.K. Hansen]

About a year ago, a suggestion came up for a photo bag, but unfortunately didn't gain any traction…

What about a camera strap? Perhaps with selvedge ID or duck of some sort... made of leftover material?

Or maybe even some of the nice leather IH sourced leather?

I was thinking a length selection somthing along these lines, but made "flat" in the profile instead of round:
