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

@Giles said in Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?:

We are officially at full capacity in all our workshops.

...and still can't make everything we hope, dream, and suggest. Capacity is capacity and there is only so much time, people, and machinery to make the things that we want. It's a good thing to dream, but sometimes reality dictates otherwise.

@goosehd thanks for finding this!
I always try to read up before asking those type of questions but I feel that after almost one year I just scratched the surface of all the knowledge that is already in the forum.

@Karol 21 Lefty one of my faves. Would love to see a comeback

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I think you'll find that the result of that equation is actually 50%

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago smart ass…

[goosehd]

Please note that everyone’s suggestions for products are valuable to some degree. Some are great and come to fruition when time and space allows, others get a polite nod of acceptance, and other’s get downright rejected.

Ask @Giles, @Alex, or @endo how many times their idea’s have been shot down or ask Giles what it means when Haraki gives him the look.

[pechelman]

does anyone track suggestions?
I was just envisioning a google sheet where we could all see, in one condensed place, what was suggested, when, who, and with a reaction from the IH Crew of their expected likelihood of it happening, and if so, when in very rough terms of something like 1,3, 5, or 10 years. Could you all make that? Want help to get it started?

@pechelman Like this:

Compiling sample candidates

[goosehd]

...I don't know if there is a spreadsheet, but this is from one of the current meetings they had to discuss ideas that were thrown around in the forum.

[pechelman]

of course, but basically thinking the same thing. Might eliminate duplicate suggestions and also allow us to vote on them to help prioritize which ones that are likely to get here sooner or something like that. I also understand that this might be proprietary and you all would prefer not to share what you're thinking about to some folks who are already putting out similar things. Anyway, just a random thought. I'm still waiting on corduroy easy shorts, btw...those seemed like they were a shoe-in with the picture endo posted right after it.

[DeeDee85]

Can remember seeing that list the first time it came up… indigo easy shorts and indigo serge western for the win!

[jerkules]

Would love to know what the red dots mean. Ideas that got a hard “no” or a nod of approval? Baseball raglans have a red dot, should I hold out hope?

The Look. Not something you want too often..........

At leat that has some upside

I’ve probably asked before but why do we not tend to see a classic tank top - perhaps 6-7.5oz?

I can’t be the only one that likes to wear the beater under an open shirt. Hanes and similar are almost see through these days.

Seconded. I pop this request into this thread every six months or so - nice to see someone else also keen.

[Giles]

Just to add. We are limited in what we can make for a multitude of reasons. But principally, there simply are very few factories and workshops that can make stuff to the quality that we demand. And our ability to increase production in those factories is not just the turning up of a switch, it requires a step change in space, equipment and bodies. We know it is super frustrating for you guys, as it is for us. But frankly, we cant increase production easily without compromising quality, so that won't happen.

But, as I said in the first post "We can't guarantee we'll listen and we may be so rude we that don't even reply, but we do read every suggestion.

So just because we don't reply, or over-enthuse, it does not mean we have ignored the suggestion.

Denim 25oz hammer pants and jacket:

[sabergirl]

I mean, maybe not that extreme drop crotch, but I’d still love a carrot fit baggy with major taper.

If the hammer pants were iron heart, I’d probably buy them

[drkevy]

A white canvas linen / canvas western shirt.

Business casual wear that would be perfect at a cocktail luncheon.
