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

When I look at the IH range, I note that it's missing a denim work coat. I'm not in the market because I have one (at least as far as blue denim is concerned), but it would seem like an obvious possibility.
(I've seen pics online of a IH hickory stripe work coat, but it's a lot less versatile fabric than blue or black denim.)

Is a work coat the same as a chore coat? If so there have been a number of versions previously in assorted denim, blanket lined and in wabash. I think I’d be correct in saying sales have been “mixed” to the degree that @Giles might not be too geared up to repeat the exercise.

IHJ-77? Different beast altogether.
I thought as much.
If I remember correctly then the initial chore coats did ok, with the wabash being considered a classic by some. You see people searching for them still. But the last slew from three or four years ago were done in navy and khaki chino cloth and a lighter denim. They didn’t do great.
You can find a 21oz blanket lined version in the Extinct gallery. It’s amazing.

I would think that a chore coat would sell. Maybe it would nowadays?

It's pretty nice, but the light(er) weight denim and white stitching could turn off some… Personally, I find that style of chest pocket (right side) completely un-useable, but I realize it's authentic.
Random thought: that chest pocket looks like it was meant to accomodate a pocketwatch, perhaps with the chain end affixed to the buttonhole across from it. Usually IH seems to skip things like that that don't apply broadly in the modern world.

IHJ-61 Work Jacket in some duck variant; brown, black, navy, olive. Blanket lined. Add: external zippered horizontal left chest pocket w/ red lining - make it wide and deep enough to be useful for something other than a match book; 2 internal zippered vertical chest pockets, or just 1 on right side so as to not interfere with external pocket. Delete: waist band tab & button, as it's completely superfluous. Keep: corduroy collar; double zipper; button cuffs.

Wore my IH-624S-GR yesterday, and can't help but ask if there is ANY chance to see this gorgeous denim make a comeback at all? Or, maybe there's a small stash hidden somewhere?
There are new cuts that this non-traditional color would look GREAT in… 888, definitely... and also the 555 or 777 as well.

Not sure if this has ever been requested. I would love a vest version of this - https://www.ironheart.co.uk/jackets/ihsh-74.html
Just something I could put over a UHF and under my 526L. Just for that extra, non bulky layer when it's extra crisp and cool out.
Has this ever been considered?
-
There was a primaloft vest one or two years in a row. It was really lovely. It was. More traditional vest, but same material from what I would guess.

Thanks! Well maybe it will make its way back again one day!
-
Agreed. I love vests - wish I could own them all - but my weather is either: Tee shirt weather or UHF under an N1 weather, so I rarely get to wear them.
Otherwise I would have snagged the primaloft one as it was lovely

I’m similar. I rarely do big bulky jackets as I tend to overheat. But on some days I just want that extra layer of warmth.
