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

[neversummer]

Magenta western with MOP snaps aka “The Exotic”.

[Alex]

Done it, didn't get much love…
(we were trying to make a red chambray but the colour went wrong)

[Giles]

We were trying for a more muted shade.  We felt this one was just too pink.  We are sampling a new version in this red mock-twist chambray atm….

[Giles]

Oh, and Work in this green:

And a white short-sleeved work:

And, a khaki western:

Now if that Pinky blinder got Indigo dipped, the contrast stitching and subtle pinkish hues would be brilliant. My red IHSH-11 is out of town getting an indigo bath, so I have overdyeing on the mind. Expensive, but worth it for the right shirt

[Chris]

Oooh, a reincarnation of the jalapeno & salt IHSH-46?

[Giles]

Possibly, I'll see in a week or so…...

[Dstauffer]

Is that a mock twist khaki or is heavy weight chambray?

[Giles]

It's not a mock.  It's the heaviest we can currently get, but not as heavy as we used to be able to get hold of…..

I've been hoping for a red chambray western for years, so really hope this happens.  The red swatch looks perfect.

Green work shirt is the shit!

Heavy Sashiko CPO - Either natural Indigo or black fugitive dyed.

Sounds like a 600$ shirt to me [emoji15]

I'm not crazy about the sashiko look, doesn't do anything for me.
A red 46 though… I like that.

[Giles]

I'm of the opinion that sashiko does not rock a Haraki boat….....

Wearing my black 46 today. It’s one of my all time favorite lighter weight IH pieces and I’d buy another in a heartbeat.

I've been wearing my 178 a ton over the last few months. I love how the cpo is that in between shirt and jacket, as well as a nice alternative to a sweatshirt. I'd love to see a Cash CPO, something in the 12oz range that fades.

I remember suggesting a sashiko something or other awhile back because it sounded like a good idea at the time. But, I’m now of the opinion that sashiko works best when other companies like SDA, PBJ or Samurai are using it in their lines. It strikes me as something that is the polar opposite of the IH look

I agree. I wouldn't call it gimmicky, per se, but it's unnecessary.  I could be wildly off base in trying to read his mind, but it has always seemed to me that Haraki designs things to be as simple as possible. The impressiveness of IH gear is in the quality of the materials and the attention to construction, finishing, and details.  Shashiko, in its modern form, not its utilitarian roots, is just kinda flashy.  I like it, don't get me wrong, it's just that it doesn't seem to fit here.
