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

[Chris]

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.

[Seth]

Hi Chris - yes, I have a pair of SExIH07 with blackened bronze buttons, and that inspired the idea. Why not go a little farther with real solid copper or brass?

[tatmantall]

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…

@Megatron1505:

21oz, flannel lined, denim hoody…......BOOM !!!!

Damn that would be sweet.

[FurattoHeddo]

• 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…

[Finkster]

A new release of "Ombre"- Flanell Shirts would be great.
Chicano style patterns on Western Shirts … and Work Shirts also.

I'm dying for the IHSH-17 Revisited. I fully support FurattoHeddo's suggestion for a mock twist version of the IHSH-17. 3 or 4 colors (black, indigo, red and green).  Side pockets made out of some awesome fabric like the IHSH-78 hickory.

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,
possible a collab with MillReef in Japan?
few years ago SDA made some very nice models in collab with MillReef.
i own one pair.
u too own one pair i think.

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

@Nerkg:

Heavy chambray swim trunks

chambray makes for horrible swim trunks, the fabric gets relatively heavy and stiff when wet and they dry very slowly

[Chris]

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

[Chris]

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…

[seanocono]

^I like both of these ideas. Especially a lightweight, dark green, 46.

[Finn666]

^ backed!

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:

[seanocono]

^I know RRL makes belts like this, but I can't speak to the quality/thickness.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks–after some poking around I did see a specimen on eBay, though it had lettering on the back and was the wrong size.  If it's going to have lettering, let it read "Iron Heart."  This, though, adds an interesting twist--note the denim inserts:
