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

[EdH]

A baseball jersey? (if it isn't too athleisure…?) IH would make a fucking great baseball jersey I reckon, and it would have a fantastic fake-team mascot embroidered on it.

Something like this but, you know, saying "Iron Heart" on the front, a cool logo on the back, and overengineered as usual:

I like @EdH  I like a lot. But do it in heavy cotton.

Or in a Fox and Sons wool

I have the IHV-24 cordura type III vest. Love it. How about a full cordura type III? The combination of sharp technical material and iconic mid 20th century workwear would be perfect. Black is great but brown/tan would be awesome balls.

@Alex:

We're investigating doing a line of embroidered products, actually.

This would be sweet AF. This guy is incredible if you wanted to commission embroidery on a limited edition range https://instagram.com/g_miglietta?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

That may or may not be the guy we are talking to…

[Giles]

You sound just like your father…

[Kasi]

After all father like son

Has this been suggested: indigo/indigo slub or indigo/black slub? I think I read overdyed slub was a future thing.

Or any indigo/indigo bottoms of any variety coming up?

[Jett129]

I think that it's been established that there will be a 21OZ Indigo/Indigo for the Anniversary. Someone correct me if I'm misinformed.

[Oaktavia]

Oh that would be awesome…is that something that would only be offered in person? Via the 20 av party?

[Kasi]

Yes then they go online after along with all core cuts done

[Jett129]

In light of the current production issues,I’m not sure if the Anniversary Party is a timeline reality for these jeans. This is just purely speculation on my part,as I have no inside information.

[Kasi]

Giles told me…

@Alex:

The plan is we release approx 100 pairs of the anny 634S cut at the party - they will be made out of regular 21oz.  Then as soon as we can, but it is likely to be next year, we release more 6345 and all the other core cuts in larger quantities.

It is not an ideal scenario, but we are working with what we have.

Most of our meetings in Japan last week were spent focussing on production issues in the mills and workshops and discussing ways to fix/work around them.

We think we have some workable solutions that should ease the pain by early 2023.

One of the impacts of the issues we have been facing is that we have been unable to take on more retailers (of which we have a long queue) for about 9 months.  It's pointless bringing on new retailers when we cant supply them a decent range of product, and what we do supply takes it away from existing retailers and pisses them off.  We think we should be able to start again for the FW23 collection.

@Giles
so if I understand it right, no anniversary jeans online ? Only at the party ? right ?
good to know, so I can plan my budget 

[Giles]

Any of the jeans left after the party will go online.  Then obviously, when we get the balance of the 634 and the 4 other cuts in 2023, they will be available online….

[Daniel San]

cool, so no need to be afraid not to get one.
awesome
thank you Giles

[Nik]

What's different about the anniversary jean from the regular 21oz 634?
Is there a plan to release a list of all of what will be available?
