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

@Giles, what about using the water resistant wool of the upcoming pea coat for this IHM-15 reboot? With alpaca body and hood…Sounds amazing to me.

Black wool exterior, I would vote primaloft liner, or blanket lined.

Primaloft!

Primaloft gold. I’m into it. Center the placket somehow and it sounds like the ultimate coat. Cozy warm pockets please.

Mofucker would be super heavy with a blanket lining and heavy wool. Not in the market, but if I were I'd be pushing for nylon quilted PL

Alpaca>wool
Still would buy it though

On the other hand, alpaca is a big part of the charm of the -15.
Definitely is, and unmodified, it works.
But, even with my navy IHM-09 I get alpaca fuzz on the exterior of the coat all the time, and it's annoying, lol! It's to the point that I bought multiple lint rollers; one in my closet, one in the car, and one at my work desk.

Just finished some google searching, and there aren't many examples of wool coats with fur, and I would assume it's for the reason I stated. -

.This surprises me. I've never seen so much as a hint of alpaca shedding from my RMC deck jacket, so there must be a way to secure the pile.
I'm reading that people want a classic fabric with technical characteristics. Perhaps a whipcord made of Epic or a similar weather-resistant cotton would be a good compromise with an alpaca liner?

I’ve never noticed any shedding from my deck jacket either.

I don't want to get in to a pissing match of right vs wrong, because you guys could very well have a different experience than I have with your garments.
To make sure I'm not crazy, I checked last night and sure enough, just rubbing the lining on my IHM-09 and IHV-22 results in shedding. I would have taken pictures, but there's just no way to prove that I didn't forcefully "pluck" the alpaca in order to make a point.
