@popvulture haha. Idk. I just uploaded two pictures I took from screenshotting the trailer.

@Oaktavia agree. it’s such a rewarding fabric to wear.

No sleeping on new drops now!!

Were we sleeping before? we all know where this is going (lottery god help us

@kojimastreets said in Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?:

I’d love a western boot cut. Like IH’s take on Wrangler’s 13MWZ, even with the leather patch moved to the same spot on the high pocket. Would cop instantly, starch, and press a seam into those soooo quickly

Have you looked into The Boss cut? If that doesnt work for you, you’ll be hard pressed get another cut in the lineup (give the current manufacturing constraints) let alone convincing Haraki-san to clone an existing and less iconic/popular cut than the Levis 501 (the 1955 example).

@Chibs AFAIK, a single sample in a single size has been made. Safe to assume you’ll get the default response, “Wont know till they arrive and measurements are published.” Regardless, you wont make a purchase decision till the evidence materializes but I hope it works out for you. @AdamJ’s results certainly have made this one compelling to buy. Exciting releases incoming

@endo it’s such a great denim! and seemingly underrated on the forum. Reminds me of old-school cone denim (rip); another notoriously slow fader.

pattern and color of this 10oz flannel is 🤌

@steelworker those look great. I should have bought a pair when i had the chance.

@Giles @goosehd thank you. i will do that.

fuck

@Malkior post more pics and include one of the leather patch please. From what I can tell it looks like some low contrast fades to me. AFAIK it’s organic cotton denim and it’ll eventually show some wear over time however, with both warp and weft being black and reactive dyed, it will be very subtle and very slow.

@Malkior i think youre overthjnking it. it’s denim, its rugged, it fades, and it’s okay that it isnt perfect. I really can’t tell what’s of concern in these pics. Without the caption I had thought it look like some peek-a-boo fades starting.

Wow ,yeah… this monster sure does bleed!

@wjw dont wait to get em repaired, get all the shrink out before you set the creases, crocking is real, patience…fades happen with time(wear), it’s a dice roll whether you get frisked goimg through security checkpoint wearing heavy denim,…

@wjw heck no. https://www.indigoproof.com/
Unfortunately by the time I got many of the pairs back, I had moved on and much of the darning is still very stiff. Lots of lessons learned over the years. I am pretty excited about my current rotation. They are all starting to pop.

My 40yr old body wont ever get into 32 ever again. I’ve not decided what I want to do with them. Maybe my boys will want them when they get bigger? Thought about having them folded and stacked on a shelf to display them in my office?

@wjw, thanks for the complement. IIRC, IH was know for being slow faders…but the deadstock cone was even less willing to give up the indigo. I actually bought the SExIH07 before the 634’s. But at the time they were my go to and thus worn till they started needing regular darning.

@Giles Nice. Go @Alex!

Workshirts w/o pockets = The Dinner Shirt…could it pass for dressing up?

Some of the SS shirting fabrics in my closet have got me thinking “what if?” designs ideas on variations against the workshirt pattern sans pockets…For example, maybe with the collar designed to sit up with a thinner profile…maybe a banded collar or maybe a button down?

If its design could straddle the formal/casual line, I could see it getting a lot of use out of my closet.
