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

I understand you want it to be IH, but I’m sure compatible hoods are out there somewhere.

[Giles]

It's a really difficult thing to do with any hope of getting demand right. We have done loads of variants of the M65, so we would thus have to make hoods for all variants (because if we did not, you can bet your bottom dollar that someone would bitch) and we would have to guess how many to make of each variant. Well, that's sort of what we always have to do but there is a significant difference here, if we make too many shirts (for instance), we still have an item of clothing to sell at a discount, if we make too many hoods, we only have a hood to sell.

Years ago, H said to me in a very pleased tone of voice, that he was going to make an M65 with an optional liner. I asked him what the fuck he was going to do with a load of unsold liners at the end of the season. He decided it was not such a good idea after all....

@iammortalcombat hell yeah. Elbow patches would be awesome on a work shirt

Has IH ever made a pair of swimming shorts? I was sat on the beach last week wishing I was wearing IH.

In my mind the pattern would be based on the IH-726 cargo shorts, but made out of a quick drying blend with a little stretch for comfort while swimming. I prefer the kind of swim shorts that go over a pair of speedos (rather than that ghastly sewn-in netting) and I like to be able to pat them down with a towel after a swim, and only have to wait another 10-30 minutes for them to be dry enough to put my shit in the pockets and head straight to a bar or restaurant.

Edit: and one of the back pockets should have a zipper closure, e.g. for cash to be safe when swimming.

neck gaitors with traditional bandana patterns - for bike riding, outdoors, whatever ...

[JunkPants]

Have you ever sold banners?
Would definitely love to have a big sheet of IH denim with the IH logo. 21oz, 25oz, 19L you name it.

Would be a cool reference as well, to compare the untouched denim with whatever item you're wearing as it's fading.

(Perhaps a good use for some of the rejected/imperfect denim, if you'd rather use the good stuff for clothing, and Haraki would allow it)

[Matt]

Pennants out of scrap fabric would be really cool. Old school baseball style. With some sick Tetsu-San graphics. That would be a great add on to increase the average sale quantity.

[goosehd]

@Matt That’s genius and I love the idea…

[Mr Linz]

How about a waxed CPO. Either canvas or denim.

[Jett129]

I have 2 of the work shirts with snaps and love and have been wearing both quite a bit this season. My question …Would you ever consider a UHF work shirt with snaps,or a UHF Untucked?

UHF Untucked?

THIS !!!!!

[TinMan]

I have always wanted a real deal heavy sateen track jacket, like the ones from days past. My dad had a whole sateen track suit from the 70’s. I remember it being made in the USA. It was so pimp!

[steelworker]

@Karol like the Fox green wool too

[T4920]

@TinMan love this idea, the Sateen used in the IH M-65s is so luxurious yet understated..

Could picture these with the Bell insignia used for the old Extra Heavy Polo Shirts on the left breast.

It gives me those CPO vibes

[Brian.bvdk]

I love the new A2 deck jacket, and I'm sure it will sell out quickly.. but I already have an N1 deck jacket in olive, so it's a bit difficult to buy another olive one, so I hope it will return next year maybe in a gray or black version 🩶

We have been working on various concepts using scrap denim from the RE:LOVE program. Watch this space
