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

The OD denim M-65 did amazingly….A non OD one coming out soon...

@mclaincausey:

there was not disjointedness in materials and cuts as far as I'm concerned in the Melton M-65. Didn't the denim one do well, or at least pique a lot of interest? If anything, that seemed more disjointed to me.

That’s very true. While an actual USM woolen m65 has probably never been a thing, a denim one certainly hasn’t. Also, wool is a military field jacket staple in Scandinavia and the UK. The vintage Norwegian m43 analogues in wool are beautiful.

There are some fantastic m65 iterations coming from IH in the FW18/19 season, in some very relevant fabrics (duck for example ). Wool is also making another appearance soon as a peacoat and there’s no better match than that. Exciting times for jacket fans.

There are lots of grey, black, & navy wool outerwear options out there. There are few or no indigo options.

Indigo-dyed cotton is great, but it obviously doesn't have the same characteristics as wool and it's not as useful outdoors (at least here in Seattle…) Now, waxed indigo cotton... hmm...  :-\

Another medium weight unbrushed flannel work shirt - eg IHSH-201 in a different colourway - would be great - 201 is really versatile weatherwise.

Quilt lined Cpo! Flannel preferably but denim would also be great! Also the flannel lined type three/536 was amazing and of course I entered the game too late to have caught this. Flannel lined denim Jacket,Vest and CPO all please:)) ;))

Still praying for a blanket lined duck first zip

I will buy just about anything that's blanket lined.  It's my weakness.

Just spitballing. The Kersey did well:

Charcoal Kersey “Untucked” work shacket
Quilt/blanket lined body
Unlined sleeves

[browniemcghee]

I’d buy that.

IHW-02 I mean. Is it my ineptness with iPhone or does tapatalk suck?

Could be both [emoji1]

I would like to see a workshacket version of the IHW-01 (Wool CPO). All details the same (Same buttons, not snaps), but instead of western, a workshirt.

Also, I would love to see the IH "field jacket liner" (IHJ-30) make a return.

Question:

Has it ever been considered to make a purpose built inclement weather "clothing system"?

The US Army, and I imagine other militaries around the world, have a cold weather clothing system that is designed with layers that gradually add warmth and protection, and can be worn as a system, or as individual pieces. Below is a link to what I'm referencing.

https://adsinc.com/product-category/apparel/clothing-systems/gen-iii-ecwcs/

The first 2 layers, and the last one can be ignored.

Even just adding a microfleece jacket and a gortex shell to the current line-up would close the loop and basically be what I'm describing.

I could still slap me for not buying the J-30

I'm slapping myself right now…

And Google keeps toying with my emotions... I search the interwebs, and find a link to a shop, only to see it's sold out everywhere.

I'll have to check out Yahoo! auctions after work

best of luck …

still have G's Lost World

To my eternal disappointment, the IHJ-30 sold badly.  I was so looking forward to issuing it in different colour iterations annually….

It was ahead of it's time…..
(Or maybe just ahead of MY time)

But, I bet if you replaced the duck with whipcord or the lightweight denims…......

[spitfiredealer]

I was just thinking about getting a liner for the winter so I can keep the Wabby CPO as the outer layer.
Didn’t even know that one existed.

Is there none laying around anywhere G?
