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

I realise Haraki-San's inspirations are primarily American and Japanese, but given there's undeniably some British DNA in the IH operation I think @Giles should try to explain the concept of the great British donkey jacket to Haraki. An IH donkey jacket in Melton Wool with a red flannel lining and leather shoulder/back patch would be the absolute dog's 'nads. @Danny RnH do you feel me?

^^ Now that would be an absolute winner, both I and DH would love to see that made… Brilliant idea

DH when he was a rude boy up north in Sheffield was into his donkey jacket, sta prest and monkey boots ! British Heritage Piece [emoji4]

@neph93 Interesting idea. Not just an iconic piece of work wear but one with strong political overtones in 80s Britain

Very true. I got my first one from a striking docker in Liverpool at the start of the 90's, wore it with pride at many a AFA/ANL event. If IH make one someone should let Corbyn know

Great idea! I am looking for years on the Simmonsbilt Donkey Jacket.
But I´d love to see the pockets in a kind of IH style!

Apologies if this has been asked, but will there be a 634S-sbg?
-
I rather like something along these lines..
-
Looks like Kevin Rowland.. Yes, nice jacket shape but no shoulder detail.. Which I like
-
why is it called a donkey jacket?
reminds me of the chore/work jackets Iron Heart does but in wool
-
It was traditionally worn by dockers discharging and loading cargo the equipment used was a steam winch called a donkey hence the name donkey jackets worn by the men involved think @neph93 had an original from Liverpool Docks
-
@Black Orchid It is Kevin Rowland Well all of the Runners in fact.
They're very thick Monday. Proper work jackets.
Absolutely no idea why they're called Donkey jackets though. Worn by the fellas doing all the donkey work maybe?Scratch that then…. -
The winch on the docks was called a donkey, hence the name

Ah, thank you.
