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

@Hematoma:

A wrangler style jacket would be a cool alternative to all the type IIIs

How about a Lee Storm rider?

21oz or even  25oz SBG 888s

Words more true were seldom spoken.

25oz SBG jeans & 18oz SBG cpo please, for the easy-choice dumb grab uniform.

[732fraziea]

Agreed: more SBG!

Oh man, 888 SBG!  Is there a sample thread on the forums?

[Giles]

Nope…When we get the sample we will....

[Paul9221]

Cool, I'll keep an eye out.

This is great news. My 555-SBG (IH-555-03) where moved on for being too small post wash and my IHxB01-SBGMKii are one of my favourite pairs, but on their last legs.

I've never owned anything SBG.  I'm completely sold on the 888 fit, and while I already have the OD 888, I'd love an SBG. I get a huge kick out of black-faded-grey denim!

The upcoming 14 oz black denim won't fade, right? Does that mean superblack or another kind of dye?

On balance I think I prefer OD but there is something special about the SBG. It changes the way the 21oz behaves radically and the wear patterns and hand of the denim are quite unique.

Yes it will

I'm looking forward to being able to compare them but I'll always have a special place in my heart for OD

Since the first zip duck work jacket seemed popular how about a whipcord variant? Or would that be too similar to the ihj-61?

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person on this forum that prefers my black denim to stay black.

Haha, I know what you mean, I usually want to buy a ________ and know that it is forever going to be the black or blue ________.  If IH sold a slightly faded grey 888, I would buy that over a SBG, but they don't so I'll go with a SBG.

On the other hand, my experience with OD has taught me that the transition color is a beautiful thing, plus the process, the process itself is a wonderful gift that gives back a little each day.  I'm working hard to fade the 888XHSib, and it's lovely to see the transition over time.  But if you're on these forums, you already know what I'm talking about

A few of us have mentioned a desire for jeans (indigo specifically, in my case) that never fade, but I accept that it is a distinctly minority viewpoint.

[xtcclassic]

I love the fading process with indigo denim, but I haven’t seen a pair of faded SBG’s that I like the looks of as much as I do a clean, nice pair of Superblacks. The OD and IB denim is a different story because the indigo adds color, making the fades much more interesting.

I enjoy the variety. I don’t own a Superblack pair but I wouldn’t mind if I felt the right cut was available in it.
