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

I have stacks of John Smedley, none of which I have paid anything like full retail for. All bought from the John Smedley factory shop (and it is actually at the factory) here:

HD, thanks for the tip. I will look that up.
Giles, so that is near your place? Then why not talk Haraki-san into a Brit-Jap co-op on some Indigo dyed John Smedley polos. I am sure they would sell super well. It would be probably the most special polo shirt on earth. I could imagine orange accent stitching on the button placket for example.

On my wishlist: One of the shirts i find myself return to and use freqeuntly is the regular flannel IH-10. I think the flanell fabric is perfect in thickness and just fells great wearing. Personally I find the heavy flannel a bit too thick so to me this is perfect. So for the next fall/winter season a new run of shirts in this type of fabric would be great. Otherwise, really looking forward to the chambray workshirt and of course the first short sleeve IH.

On my wishlist:
Henleys with IH-quality!
An M65 jacket (military field jacket) in 22oz OLIVE DRAB denim (perhaps with a quilted/flannel lined zip-out liner?)
A parka in the same material
Cargo pants/fatigue pants in 16oz denim (for the hungover days when a three pound jeans is too much…)
Underwear and socks, preferably made in merino wool (ultra-lasting and comfortable as with all IH´s products - a couple of six-packs of these and I wouldn´t need to worry about buying clothes for a long time...)
besides the aforementioned black 22oz MC chaps and sweatshirts

Since there is a lot of love for the hickory stripe, hows about some inside out denim?

[/quote]Good call. I got an old Carrhart one from the Union Made label days and it's clubbed rather than beat down over the years but it's still better than most hoodies out there on the market today. Think it's original weight was 13/5 oz 95/5 cotton/polyester.

Branding kills it for me
-
@simon626:
150 dollars for a sweatshirt
Will it be the most insanely awesome and epic sweatshirt ever?
Are the sweatshirts lined with anything or at least more than just a single layer of cloth?
$300 for jeans
/sarcasmYou are at the wrong place if you are worried/whining about the cost of premium clothing items. We are all here for reasons other than cost, be it superior materials, construction, fit, an aesthetic, the list goes on.
As for the branding, I agree that little or no logo is the best. The small ribbons that are on the IH shirts and the down jacket are a perfect amount of branding for me!

^ i didnt know you could loopwheel a hoody
wait…can you?

One of the reasoons that I don't bring them to the West is the branding (it works in Japan, which is the market Haraki made them for) - I'm not forcing anyone to force me to specially get them shipped here
They are not loop wheeled, the loop wheeled stuff that I asked Haraki to do will have minimal branding and will be available later in the year. G
