Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
A windproof lightweight V-neck cotton (Millerain?) vest with a couple of useful handwarmer pockets and a cinch back, would be a go-to spring/autumn garment for me - stay warm but show off your IH shirt
-
Another indigo herringbone workshirt like the IHSH-165 please.

I don't get why that and the 35 didn't sell. And I've said it before, a 35 in a Western would be cool.
My wife has been looking at sherpa lined denim jacket, which made me wonder if IH could elevate that style. Real shearling may be a bridge too far for a denim variant (though a Simmons Bilt shearling coat in the style of a type 3 could be cool) but maybe alpaca or something else instead of the standard (polyester?) fleece.
-
Yeah, to me the white polyester sherpa looks cheap. That's why I was trying to think of a way IH could somehow improve it.
Blanket line all the things! Also not averse to UHF fabric as a liner

That makes a lot of sense to me. Not tryina hijack your idea, but I could see a brown corduroy collar on that.
-
Would there be any interest in a tonally stitched version of this lined type III?
-
Now I'm just getting obnoxious. Chocolate brown alpaca lined tonal stitched corduroy type 3
-
I’d like to see a duck modified type III with brown cord collar. I realize it would look similar to the first zip duck jacket but I’m thinking it would look especially cool in type III form. Or a black duck type III/black cord collar. Or a navy duck/navy cord collar [emoji848]

Probably quite difficult but surely not impossible?
Not impossible, but certainly more of a spesialist tailoring job than simple hemming. You have to remove the cuff, while maintaining it’s integrity, cut a new gusset, possibly alter and move buttons/buttonholes then re-attach the cuff.
If IH take 20USD for a hemming job on jeans you’d be looking at 100USD to have shirt arms hemmed. And with all respect to the otherwise very talented crew in Gosport, I don’t think any of them are trained tailors.

I think there comes a point where we have to accept that despite the price, quality and existing standard for jeans being hemmed by the shops/brands that sell them, this is not, nor is it intended to be, bespoke gear.
The tendency for people to get their jeans extensively tailored, and the search for the perfect garment fit is possible for everyone if they are so inclined. But it is probably best for everyone concerned that this type of alteration is purely an aftermarket thing, offered by professionals in that field.
