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

^ I'm gonna have to respectively disagree. I am absolutely in love with IH donut style buttons and hope this feature never changes.
-
I agree with you tatman. I like the donut style too. I'm thinking more about the metal itself used to make them. Think of it this way - take your standard donut button and imagine it in polished stainless steel. Or, for example, if you had a SBG pair of jeans, you could make the buttons in anodized black titanium (that's a little crazy to manufacture, but you get the idea I'm toying with.)
-
Various models of Triple Works jeans have bronze colored buttons, as did a couple of the IH special editions. You might consider a pair if you're really curious about that detail.
I'm a bit ambivalent on changing them, myself. Unless we're talking real copper, pewter, brass or bronze; then it might be cool enough to really suck me in.

I'm following you now I was thinking you meant more of a traditionsl style button but true metals could be nice on some models…

- IH blanket lined chambray western (preferably soft, mock twist chambray fabric)…
- TW 8oz black denim work shirt (i.e. the fabric used in IHSH-71) with non-contrast stitching and black buttons…

It won't happen. I have nothing against Vans, but Haraki and I like to work with smaller companies that we admire for their craftsmanship, dedication, sense of pride and ethic. When I can't speak personally to the person or people actually making the stuff I'm not interested…..
G,

few years ago SDA made some very nice models in collab with MillReef.

Indigo dyed corduroy type III (with long arms of course!
) with contrast or solid indigo (not dipped) colored stitching -

Yes, it truly sucks. Dry time alone makes it worthless in my estimation.

I know some different options have been in the works for a while, but I'd like to see some enameled buttons on shirts.
These are really nice looking. So is the chambray material, too.
Maybe Triple Works could do a variation on the IHSH-46- lighter weight chambray (say 7-8oz) and in a slightly darker green…

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I've been looking around for a nice biker belt, the old ones that are tooled sort of like Western belts, but studded with metal and metal-mounted polished stones or plastic gems. So I'd love to see a super thick, top-grain leather hand tooled and studded dual prong biker belt from IH. Sort of a less gaudy version of this:
