Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
Yes, me, too. The traditional is better. I'd be hoping for something a little darker, though.
-
We did a green chambray, did not sell particularly well which pissed me off because it was my idea

That's actually really nice! I'd buy that!
-
Yes, that looks great. I'd love anything to break up all the blues and tan that I wear!
I was thinking of something more in the color below, but I like that as well. I wonder, if it was a fall release, if a different fabric might sell faster/better? I was thinking of a canvas or even moleskin type of fabric. Don't know if that would matter to people.

It is a fantastic shirt in ripstop which I’d imagine would suit your neck of the woods. Lightweight and airy.

Yes, that's perfect, @neph93. I'll take one!
-
That's an idea. I will give it a try.
Thanks!

After keeping hold of my 555-03's it's just made me want anything SBG.
I must mention the idea of a SBG CPO at least one a week in the office. As do I look at the IHSH-08sbg product page hoping it'll re-appear!
I'm really excited for the 888 SBG that someone mentioned would be made relatively soon. I predict 2020 to be the year of the SBG!

I was thinking about buying a few IHTs but the fit is a bit off for my taste.
My suggestion is that the IHT-1610 and IHT-1600 could be slightly longer in the overall length and the sleeve length could be shorter. I feel like that would make a perfect fit. I wear size small.

Like this?
-
^ No, not at all. Like I said, just slightly longer. Perhaps it's just how the proportions of size small are compared to other sizes.
To me, the IHTs seem to be on the shorter side and the sleeve length on the longer side. It was just a suggestion of course. I don't know how well the IHTs sell. If they sell well, no need to change anything based on the minority's (or perhaps just my) opinion of course.

I'm just messing with you. I know what you mean. Considering most of the people on here I feel are taller than me (or at least that's how it feels), I'm surprised that the shirts aren't longer, but then again, I get the same length from 3Sixteen, Self Edge, and Freenote Cloth shirts, so maybe the shortness is done on purpose, like in the case of a type III jacket.

I know, I know - That photo you posted was hideous by the way
You're right, I've also noticed that some other Japanese brands tend to make the length of their T-Shirts shorter. Perhaps it's some type of style that I have no idea about. It'd be interesting to know if the IHTs actually sell well enough. If not, some tweaks here and there could make it a bit more popular. Win-win I'd say ::)
-
The IHT-1610 and its printed iterations sell well. The more traditional 7.5oz do ok in the west but have been cut like they are for years with the exception of some small variations in length. They are perhaps more popular in Japan.
The problem with the idea of tweaks for the western market is that the tee’s have always been a core product in Japan. You’d either have to introduce the new cut in both markets (risky) or you start making a western cut and Japanese cut (with no idea about sales of the new western cut and the increased overheads to tackle).
I have heard rumours of possible future changes in the way IH do tees however. New models, new lines etc. We’ll have to wait and see what happens next.
