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

[Giles]

They are def happening….

[seanocono]

SWEET! I’ll stay tuned. Thanks, G.

Alright, here's my annual request for the IH-463s in something heavier than 21oz.

I am sure @sabergirl would agree this cut is worthy of some XHS 25 oz action

Also, new request. The IHW-06. I mean feck me. This thing is a work of art in a solid color or buffalo check. After all the shit we've been dealt in 2020, we need a bright spot in 2021….

[Dstauffer]

I realize these are both likely solid "no"s but, never hurts to ask

[Giles]

Nope to the 463's I am afraid.  Just not a heavy seller.

Alex and I have asked for the IHW-06 to be redone.  Haraki said OK, but then the Japanese find it hard to say no, so we are not sure what will happen with that…....

[A Former User]

Maybe without the embroidery this time…

[sabergirl]

More people need to get on the 463 train! That cut is so good. My pair doesn’t seem to fit right now, dammit 2020.

I would be all over an IHW-06.  Maybe dark burgundy?

I'm currently fading a 526J-DD and man, you guys need to make more things in this fabric.  IIRC, it didn't sell well but I can't imagine people not wanting this.  It has this weird almost thick-paper feel to it.  It's probably the most initially uncomfortable jacket that I've ever tried on but the fades are so sweet.  Kinda like a brighter indigo/black fade.  And it's very comfortable after about a couple of dozen wears.  I would pick up a work shirt or western in a heartbeat.

Clint D has some epic engineer jeans made out of the Double Indigo duck.

Sadly, I think double indigo canvas kinda flopped for a bunch of people.

Roy’s Black & Blue canvas jeans went to warehousesale  at SE I believe

MFSC Anniversary CPO took months to sell through at SE

And the IH DD was amazing, but also slow seller after the initial loombreakers were delivered.

I agree it faded brilliantly.

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

[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.

[hoppy_IPA]

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

[Giles]

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

https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7475.msg402019#msg402019

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

https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6472.msg364233#msg364233

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.

[jordanscollected]

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]
