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

The issue is not the size of the buttons. The button hole sewing machine's pitch is exactly the same pitch as most of our shirting denim, so if the needle goes into the `"gap" made where the warp and weft intercept, the stitch gets no purchase and will pull the button hole constructional thread out of the denim...

Interesting. I’m trying to imagine what that would look like when that problem occurs? What is the severity and frequency of it when this happens? And how do I repair and fix this if I find this on my shirts. I have quite a few IHSH.

-Solid color UHF Western flannels like the Brund one that sold out in like five minutes.
-A waxed cotton canvas Type III jacket or a canvas work jacket.
-Ballcaps (maybe a Poten collab?)

@Boit i think that all the shirts badly affected were recalled, but its before my time, so @Giles can confirm. Since then, we have made various adjustments to prevent this happening, so its no longer an issue

It only affected 12oz denim shirts you cant tell that it will happen (if we could, we could have caught the problem ones in QC). It manifests itself by the buttonhole stitching coming away from the base fabric. It cant be fixed. When we reaslised we had an issue with a production run, we recalled the shirts, but there will definitely be some 12oz denim shirts out there that are vulnerable.

Maybe this has been suggested before, but what about a black version of the 101J-SR with the black 14oz sulfur dyed denim and a dark brown cord collar and a wool blend lining.

@BalticBob I’d buy that

[AdamJ]

@BalticBob cool idea

Black UnTucked and a bit oversized blanket lined black UnTucked.

I have two pairs of double layered front pants (one was a DR collab) and would love a pair in duck or 21 oz ind.

[Matt]

Both of these things exist. If you search double front you’ll find all kinds of stuff.

@JN I’ve been asking for work cut CPO’s for years and Alex said there’s some in the works possibly

Me too Choko. Am taking heart from Alex's post the other week suggesting it may be happening.
