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

[Jett129]

The "Book" was just spoken about on another thread. Too funny!

[Paul9221]

Ha, yes, I read about it in some other thread.  Couldn't recall which.  I would absolutely read that book.

[Jett129]

I really think it needs to be written or at least,to some degree, archived because 50 years from now nobody will remember/believe it.

How about a Crazy Check UHF in Forest Green x Black & Brown?

The indigo/indigo duck did not sell well in any anything other than the extraordinarily small run we did of "loombreakers":

The run was small because we bust one of the Toyoda looms:

So we used the rest of the yarn on a projectile loom to make a non-selvedge version of the fabric.

And that sold like crap.

So it will not be being made again. Period.

So you're saying I have a pair of jeans that are almost impossible to get your hands on… but no one's looking to anyways!!!!

I still love them, and I care about their feelings. They are sensitive, even though were tough enough to break the loom.

[Giles]

I'll see if I can find my IH-816DD, they are pretty special…...

[Brock]

The loom breakers and the 816DD are two of my TOP grail pieces! Don’t have either [emoji24]

@Paul9221:

I gotta say that I'm constantly amazed at your encyclopedic knowledge on this stuff.  You and Reuben should get together and write a book

I'm not a very talented man, but I was blessed with a nearly photographic memory and a love for the retail experience… which means I am good at two things: remembering things from an exceptionally long time ago, and getting immersed in products I am connected with. I am always a habitual website lurker, and also love the buying patterns, consumer habits side of things. I worked retail and retail management for about 7 years before entering the marketing world. I try to remain as close to the retail experience as I can, and for me that means staying as up to date on trends and consumer patterns as possible.

About 6 years ago, before all of my money was taken from my children, I had a dream of opening a Self Edge type store in Austin, and having my brother run it when he finished school.

While that dream will never happen, I have still toyed around with the idea of managing a small artisan men's shop down here, something that would run similarly to SEMX, with an emphasis on tropical themed wears for tourists to indulge upon while they are here, and also introduce high end workwear to the area, which is essentially run by guys driving range rovers and 100K pick up trucks to their developments and construction sites, which is a fitting aesthetic for the market actually.  Sadly, rent, labor, and cost of living here is quite high (as you would expect).

We have a few shops that "dabble" in western and work themes gear, but it's never done right in my mind.

I am sure someone asked me where the fitpics of the 14oz denim work pants were.  I can't find that post (I don't have a near-photographic memory @Appfaff  ).

@Chesson has hemmed them, and confirmed they are indeed, not too much hassle.

It's now dark - photos tomorrow….

[Appfaff]

luckily that person was me who asked for photos @Giles

[Giles]

I thought it was, but I checked out your recent posts and could not find it 

[profdbrk]

I'm asking about and asking for–-- Has there been an IH Type 1, 2 or 3 sherpa lined denim trucker?

[Eisenherz]

Yes, there was the long gone

IH-533. Maybe it will come to an rebirth?

[Giles]

There was:

and

Sampling a new denim version at the mo…..

[Eisenherz]

..also with the seldom orange padded arm-lining?
That would be great!

[Giles]

I did not specify, so it will be a surprise, though we can change before production if we don't like it…

[Wlemon]

@neph93 this wouldn't count against the self-imposed embargo I have on type 3 jackets, right?

[Giles]

I am sure that I can answer for Neph.  Of course not.  And if I have to, I'll call it a Type IV….
