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

@Paul9221:

Sashiko has been popular with other brands lately.  Does H not care for it?  Or is it too expensive to produce, not hold up well, etc.?

H does not care for it. I can see why… it doesn’t really fit the Iron Heart aesthetic.

don't care for sashiko myself

I feel like the herringbone would be well-suited to being a work shirt with snaps. For that matter, I’d love to see a wabash version. And a new 91 with the regular hickory…

I need to get me a work shirt with snaps. Damn. Good thing there’s three to choose from, eh?

I think the fabric looks and feels great but I've never seen it on anything heavy.  I once picked up a PBJ sashiko type III but returned it because IH has totally spoiled me when it comes to type III heft expectations   I can see how sashiko might not line up with the IH brand but I still think it could be an awesome fabric for a western or work shirt.

Sashiko can be VERY heavy. Pick up a GI made with the stuff. The version that most fashion brands have woven is less robust. I think it would kick ass to have an ultra-heavy Iron Heart version, but I totally get why there isn’t one. The market is also pretty saturated with it at this point.

@Bums_Fan:

Yes on the Western version of a 308, but prefer Pearl HD snaps.  Sorry @neph93.  That said, if it came with black diamond snaps, I could swap them out, so both parties are happy!

The chances of it coming with diamond snaps are thin to non-existent. Folks don’t dig in them. Fortunately I think their is a stash of them at IHUK, so I could likely get them applied.

@neph93 I definitely dig them in the right shirt, I.e dark plain shirts

Mainly because the fabric will require that we use heavyweight snaps on the shirt and we ain't got diamond heavies….

Auda (as we say in Norway). That didn’t occur to me.

I Google Auda and I get about 20 ways to use the bleeding word….

It isn’t really a word. It’s a sound that covers everything from “poor you”,  or “that must of hurt” to “oh dear”. In this case it’s a polite form of “bugger, that’s a shame” mixed with a little bit of “I really am a twat”.

I keep seeing the chatter about the IHSH-64…. How about a remake, in half-western, or workshirt style with flap pockets and snaps. Black, burgundy, grey, and NAVY...

I would love a new 64. My original in black got to be too snug on me and I’d love to replace it.

Dark burgundy 64 in any cut would be a definite for me.

I’d buy a 64 in just about any color.

64 is looking unlikely at this point, sadly

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Damn that's a real bummer
