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

couple miles?  haha I love it.

[Chris]

That could actually be a realistic number; I remember Giles ordering a literal mile of denim for a run of one of the new models of jeans, maybe the 1955?  A couple of miles is only 3,500 yards or so.

I'd love it if there were a few thousand yards of duck sitting around in storage, waiting to be used whenever a good idea comes up.

[Giles]

I ran 1.1 miles of 18oz raw.  An average pair of jeans requires 2.7 yards of shuttle loomed cloth, so 2 miles would equal 1300 pairs jeans.  I'm not in that league.

But I only need to do circa 1,100 yards as a minumum

[Chris]

Ah, so I was being a tad optimistic.  Still, a shedload of duck, just sitting around, waiting for inspiration to strike sounds nice.

Of course, having your money tied up in unused supplies is an issue.  I guess we have to concede the fact that you need positive cash flow to put food on the table.

[Giles]

1,100 is do-able, 3,500 and I'd be looking for a new wife….

A new tan mid length wallet. Something like the IM-URA-L would be a awesome!

[Seul]

14 oz. selvedge duck western or work shirt. I think I've said this before, though…

now that would be something!… ???

[Seul]

Shortsleeved 'd even be better… The ultimate workshirt... Looks great on jeans, and for those fellers crazy enough to combine with the 666DUCK to complete the Duxedo and truly not give one flying fuck...

[Finn666]

i wouldn´t mind ls or ss (maybe even both!)…
14oz (or less) cotton duck body and one white canvas chest pocket with the IH tab on it! white stitching and orange or black chainstitch run-off!…MOP or oversized white snaps like on the IHD-01 or maybe even the new transparent snaps!...

i stop now before things get outta control

Mank, myself, and a few others may benefit from Paraffin Coated IH Bibs…

@mankarat:

OMG!!! Thats looks absolutely stunning G! The shirt paired with this overall make me drool!

[Simon]

Been said before but keep asking, and maybe …..

100% cotton heavy weight chinos.

[simonc]

Same here Simon, in a 1941 cut with coin pocket and we have a winner.  Lord knows you'd think the big H would want to dabble in some heavy weight chino fabric as he's yet to do it and its a plain fact that every man on this planet needs a pair in his locker.  It'll happen.

18oz Raw Denim Overalls
-it would be nice to get them in single leg.
-I'd jump on a pair of shrink to fit overalls, especially with the raw fading properties.

[MikeC]

Unlined Denim Chore Jacket
-think Shawshank Redemption. I was watching this last night and got tons of inspiration. The whole movie is denim, hickory, herringbone and chambray.

[simonc]

Mike, careful, you mention that shit round here and the uppity bogans will string you up and claim skinning rights.

@injunjack:

@ADDIC:

vintage motorcycle sweater

if this doesn't happen there is always Deluxe jersey and Gasoline cowboys….

yeah ive seen those when Googling. but i really want an IH version.

[Giles]

Denim Chore jacket - nothing wrong with that.  I mean we've done Wabash and Hickory….

[Giles]

And actually, thinking about it how about a cotton duck version (and yes Lando. a superblack too…...).....

[Giles]

I'm also talking t H about 100% cotton Chinos with coin pocket…
