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

Dam, any chance the waist is going to be addressed on the 555-03 then? Or same measurements as before?

Random thought
Black/natural or black/ivory hickory stripe and/or herringbone would make some interesting pieces
Not sure how it sold, and I moved mine onto @Seul , but they did do the IHSH-07 in black @jdl1279 , and I'd call the off-white of the 07 natural. I think this fabric re-run for perhaps another 07bk, a workshirt variant, and especially a black IHSH-91 (heck, maybe run a black sulphur dyed variant of that version of hickory stripe) would be awesome.
Seeing hickory stripe and herringbone together does make me think: why not both in the same fabric? Not sure I've seen that.

I’ve been looking and failing to see a nice Mexican blanket flannel. An IH one would be almost an instacop for me.

Looking outside at all the spring rain, and I'm not sure if this has ever been made at IH, but maybe an IH "oily" type 3? I know there are many waxed type 3s in the market by other brands, but I've never seen an oily one.
IH have done paraffin coated denim and I think duck in the past. Only as jeans but never say never. I think it is a great idea and I’d have to have one.

Can confirm paraffin coated duck, they made them in duck and black in the 634 cut and I have and love both.

@mclaincausey how do you like them? When I have waxed duck myself, I found it to be a laborious project and I had to rewax each year or so. I have never bought something "pre-waxed." Curious to see how that would hold up.

I have not washed or treated either yet but they stay super stiff for a long time. They do perform better in rain than untreated duck but clearly can still soak through in a deluge. Overall, could take or leave the finishing and will probably just let nature take its course when washing cycles start, not renewing the paraffin as it erodes. I expect the breaking in to begin in earnest then.
