Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
-
Unfortunately what you, me and Haraki think will be an instant classic, often isn't - this is a fickle game….I have been been being asked by customers for years to make a B-10, so we've made one and I think it really is an amazing jacket, it's pure functional beauty. How may have we sold? You got it - feckin none.
-
If it's any consolation, which it's probably not.. the B-10 is a crackin jacket. if I was in the market for a full on winter jacket and didn't have an N-1, I'd be all over it. Plus, other things on the list which when funds come available hopefully will be some consolation..!

I'm sure this had been suggested before, but I'd love to see a dark red wabash work shirt with snaps. Dark emerald green would be good for me, too, but I bet olive would sell better.
-
Dark burgundy wabash would be a definite purchase.

Both the wabash suggestions sound intriguing…

But as an FYI, H and I agreed in Japan in October that in the SS and FW17 collections, we released far too much variety. Expect smaller seasonal collections going forward…
There's a lot of sense to that. Establish the core line, and very slowly grow that and a few seasonales. I can't fully imagine the overheads that go into each seasonal piece, ideas/pattern creation/finding materials/testing/finding additional(?) sewers/materials people to build, Test/Tweak/Send.
I agree (but what do I know ::) ) the brand should continue to evolve and move forwards seasonally, very slowly adding additional 'core' items. Large seasonal runs are a great way to be stuck with too much inventory and overstretch the team involved in producing.
Sounds sensible to me!

The cost of making the UHF's is sky-rocketing. We are likely to release only 3 or 4 next year, probably no Buffalo's put will do 1 Ombre and a new Window Pane check….
What about an unbrushed UHF G.?
Would love to see an unbrushed Ombre CPO!
To make it concrete: Unbrushed Black and White Ombre CPO. -
I am liking this navy/burgundy/camel color combo at the moment:
I think it would make a great shirt. UHF or not. Less brushed and neppy like the 31mk1 would be incredible.

green/black UHF Ombré shirts.
-
fair point. i feel as the denim/workwear peaked in the late 2000s, there's been so much churning out of products to meet different demands that it kinda over saturated the market. i'm amazed at how you guys have been coping as well with that many seasonal products.

There were….....

Haraki did not like it, so dropped it.....
-
… and came up later with the 12 oz., warp fading IHSH-81
http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4863.0...…IHSH-81 is being extincted - yes, I got a left field email :-[, the denim we used for the IHSH-81 was very unstable, so H decided to make a new denim
It will be replaced by the IHSH-85 which will be the same cut but made out of reactive dyed warp and weft…..
