Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
A fishtailish parka would be dope!!! Maybe a very dark olive…
-
Has H ever made a Parka? I bet it would be awesome…
Most likely already in the works. I just hope it's a tailored fit and not a 1948/1951 Fishtail Replica. The arms are huge on them. I wonder if he'll do an alpaca removable liner, have it sewn in, or not one at all.
Saw this on his blog a month ago.
"It 'Is not this year, it is the story of next year's winter! Well, what kind of guy to become or stay tuned! HARAKI"
H's take on this would be epic! Hope it happens…
-
I hope for lined shirts next fall, preferably in a nice block check colourway.

3/4 sleeve - later in the Spring

I wouldn't mind seeing an IH version of a 3/4 sleeved lightweight button up shirt.

@TrickHell:
It doesn't have to be quite so "sailor-y," but I had one of these when I was a kid. No stripes, but otherwise the same. I loved it. It made me feel like I just walked out of a Tom Waits song.
WTF?! Having worn one of these for 10 years, I can't imagine ever wearing one voluntarily. Why on Earth would you ever want to wear this in a social situation? There's historical significance to the cape on the jumper, but it's impractical now, and just a nod to our Naval heritage. I understand a lot of Naval inspired clothing such as the N-1, submarine sweaters, and flight jackets, but the Sailor jumper is beyond me.

I could see Mister Freedom rolling something like that out. I can't see myself wearing it though.
-
I think it is very safe to say that this won't happen, sorry @TrickHell

But Christophe would switch the cape part to chambray, add a leather trimmed handwarmer pocket, rotate the arm seams 90°, and make the whole thing three different shades of green. And somehow, the whole thing would still look less ridiculous than it does now…
-
And he would model it doing a cartwheel in front of a vintage car.
-
I don't think it looks ridiculous, but maybe that's because I've been around it so much over the years. When worn correctly, it's a very sharp looking uniform. The part that's really ridiculous is the flap on the trousers that's secured with 13 buttons. Such a pain when you have to pee. I hear that the new version coming out will have decorative buttons and be secured with zippers on both sides. Glad to see that change being made, but thankful I don't have to wear it anymore.

@TrickHell:
I don't like the cape, though I'd be curious to know the historical significance of it. What I LIKE about it is the good wool, the sideways chest pocket and the sleeves that unbutton.
I could see it streamlined without the cape, it would look pretty cool IMO.
-
A shirt made off the 2013 alpaca lining, it's light and warm.
-
A shawl collar pullover sweatshirt with pockets - would be a nice alternative to the regular hoodies and still casual if done in a similar fabric.
