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

@jebbriley:

I've got the 156 in charcoal and love it. But more blacker please.

jebb…. check out the 54 and the 52.  They're extinct now but they come up from time to time second hand.

How about a Harrington / G9 jacket lined in Japanese flannel? (Only the pocket flaps must have snap buttons.)

[FurattoHeddo]

A brass IH branded money clip would be cool

We've just made this, but is it is massively expensive…...

How much is massively expensive?

About USD500

That's not terrible

Only about a hundred more than other sterling money clips

I've used my David Yurman one for years and holds up great

Not MUCH more than my GoodArt clip. The IH looks like it weighs a feckin ton!

Out of curiosity - how do you justify a $500 money clip but not other recommendations? Minimums? Not trying to be an ass - genuinely curious since there are a lot of clothing recommendations that seem viable. I've also been drinking…

[Giles]

Don't understand the question.  If you mean how do we justify the prices for our products, we don't.  We make what we make, add the costs up, add on what we think is a fair margin for that particular product and that's the price.

On some stuff, particularly the silver and the cordovan items, those margins are tiny.  The costs are so high, if we add on a sensible margin the prices would be spectacularly high, so we reduce the margins.  If all we sold was silver and leather we would go bust.

I think the question was: why has a $500 sterling silver money clip been made, but blanket lined sherpa's or duck CPO's and other such suggestions don't seem be?

[Giles]

I don't think that was the question, but if it was, then it's because we like doing some things and not others.  just because someone thinks doing a pink tutu is a good idea, does not mean we'll make it.

I bet Haraki-san would knock out a badass chiffon though.

A zippered hoodie with some elbow patches (i'm not sure on the material for the elbow though).

My hoodies barely last a year because I always get holes in the elbows of my hoodies.

Duck or twill. I'm down with this. Make it lined as well.

[JDelage]

I'd like the IHJ-52 denim rider's jacket with a proper collar… (And an internal pocket.)

[Dstauffer]

@Sopiarz3 I can always use more elbow patches…always

[Chris]

I like the idea of reinforced elbows; actually, I'd like reinforcements covering the forearm from elbow to wrist.  Seems like the patches would need to be the same fabric as the rest of the hoodie, though.  Something like denim wouldn't stretch like knits, so there'd be construction issues.

Ever since I got my overalls and 822s I've thought about these. Like my dream pair. Pretty much the 709 cut and details. But with a double front and no flaps on the back pockets. Also reverse facing selvedge detail on the outseam. It would have to be backwards because of the felled seam. Contrast yellow stiching on seams and arcs. I'd ask for 25 oz denim… but I don't think it'd be possible.

See diagram:

For the patch a traditional tattoo styled panther logo to match the theme of these being brush pants.

@Giles any plans of maybe doing more half westerns?  Do those sell very well?
