Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
More thoughts on the forum exclusive jeans as I seem to have woken up in the middle of the night for no reason with these thoughts rolling around in my brain:
-
since Giles is the face of the forum and the 666 is his cut, this should be the cut. OR…
-
pick a cut that came about with significant forum input (888 comes to mind), OR…
-
if we’re trying to find a happy middle ground cut, what about bringing back the Beatle Buster? A slightly slimmer 634 cut with a slightly higher rise, named after a former prominent forum member.
-
the forum should collectively brainstorm a new denim into existence.
-
whatever the outcome, IWHWIH positively HAS to be the model number.
-
-
I like the idea of the cut being one that has had forum input. Like you say 888 is the obvious.
Can’t imagine the beatle buster making a popular come back. Tight top block and a large hem. That’s a nope from me. 666 again is tough one to please the masses because of the tight thighs.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m starting to think the forum denim idea is doomed to fail. No consensus on the cut because we all have different body types, and no consensus on details like how the patch should look, color of the arcs, type of denim, fancy pocket bags, etc. Not to mention the risk to Giles. I know we’re just spitballing ideas but this isn’t as simple as a forum T-shirt.
Here’s another idea, how about a forum flannel, like the Kanreki shirt that was made for Giles’ 60th? Giles could get some fabric swatches for us to look at and then all we’d have to determine is weight, pattern and whether or not it would be a work shirt or western. I think IH’s flannels are second to none because the patterns/colors are amazing. Not sure if it’s less risky to make shirts versus denim though

Mid-weight flannel work shirt in solid indigo…

i think a poll should be created with all the possible features and let people decide . might be the most prudent and save us all the hassle.
-
If I start a poll and 100 people have input, we'll get 101 different answers. Overall, I think the idea is a good one and we will start a thread for it soon. A completely new denim is out of the question, but we do have a denim that we have not used outside of Asia, which I think we will use.
We're likely to come up with 2 cuts and take pre-orders (like we do with the DWC jeans).
If we get enough orders, it's a goer, if we don't refunds will be given.

Wow I wonder what kind of denim that is?
I was laying in bed last night fantasizing about 25 oz XHS Super-black that fades to grey SBG for the forum jean. Just saying.

And then only 20 people will be happy with the results and only 10 will actually buy the jeans…

It would be tough to have a cut that was accessible to all. I can't squeeze into the thigh on 666, and hang out of the top of a 777…everyone has their story. For that reason, I'd say go with a classic 634! The cut is the most universal (though current iterations have gotten slimmer in the thigh...ouch.) The hipsters who can't hang with a straight cut might learn a thing or two if they could bring themselves to buy in.

888. Picture of Gav on the inside of the backpockets so he's close to our arses the whole time, and we can fart on him.
Eli for el Presidente!

On some of the Pronto collaborations you did two cuts,which I think covered a lot of bases. How much of a hassle would it be to do something similar with The Forum jean?
Would peeps consider a 666 ?? Sorta in the middle…?
666 is probably the only cut I wouldn’t be down for
The pronto taper cut was nice…
How about shorts ?

I retract my forum flannel shirt suggestion
A forum flannel shirt is a bad idea because of potential sizing issues. I think it was @Giles that mentioned before, especially if IH did pre-orders, is if you get X number of orders per size and those sizes come under spec then you've pissed off a bunch of other people whose size didn't work out. -
Same is true of jeans, to a point.
I don’t know why but denim seems more consistent in terms of fit. Has IH ever dealt with denim runs that came under spec?
