Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
IHJ-17 in olive (same as IHJ-30) with beige, black or dark blue cord collar please! @Giles @Haraki-san

I'd be shocked to see H copy one of Christophe's designs Fink, much as I love the N1H
-
^what would be the difference to the N1? Both are historical influenced, so it would not rip off a MF design, or am I completely mistaken here?
-
In the Spring/Summer 2015 thread, I brought up the idea of a bright yellow and black ultra heavy buffalo check flannel. That suggestion was veto'd before it even reached the ballots…
So then how about something more subtle: An olive green & black ultra heavy buffalo? Perhaps with gothic Iron Heart embroidery on the left chest in black, so it's only visible up close?

A zippered and hooked deck jacket with a blanket lining is not to my knowledge a historical garment. There were deck jackets that were either hook closure, zipper, or zipper and buttoned flap. "N-1H" itself is a fictional designation I think that Christophe came up with.

This, minus the embroidery idea personally.
Yeah, the embroidery I was thinking about would look something like this:
However, since it's going to be a western UHF buffalo, the background for the embroidery will be too noisy with the checks. Plus the placement of the embroidery will maybe be too high due to the shirt being a western and not a work? Regardless, I take back the embroidery idea… just a regular UHF buffalo in olive/black would be dope - My personal IH wish!

Anything with olive drab. My personal preferences:
Olive drab (solid) UHF
Olive drab/grey buffalo check UHF

@mclaincausey : You're right - the blanket lining is a MF special … but there are many versions of this historic navy jacket with hook closure on the market ( Real McCoy's, Pike Brothers, etc. ) ..... Would be nice to see, what Haraki do with this - less military specification, but more convenience and IH typical fine details. (like the other masterpieces: Tanker-, N1 Deck-, Pea Coat, etc. )

@ArloVShop:
No idea if it would even be possible to weave, but a camo UHF would be nice. With handwarmer pockets.
You could, in theory, weave the fabric on a Jacquard Loom, which is driven by punch cards, and, thus, programmable. They're considered to be mechanical computers in some circles.
Tudor use them to weave their camouflage watch straps, and produced a nice video a while back.

I'm fairly certain the hooks replace the zips in those configurations. A hooked flap over a zipper is something I never saw until the N-1H, though since I've seen Neighborhood do it I think.

When @Madame Buttonfly and I where in Belgiumland last April, we went to an industrial museum in Ghent with @ArloVShop. They had a Jacquard loom there, I was beyond fascinated…
