SS21 collection: First reactions, top three items….
-
I had a difficult time distinguishing ‘stunners’ from ‘needed/wanted in my closet’. As an example, the technical parkas would top my STUNNER list but score very low in my WANTS
So my list is is a combo of ‘beautiful and needed’ attributes
IHSH 284 IND - short sleeve wabash was plucked from my dreams (hope a black version follows it)
IHSH 279 Blu - outstanding color and weight; SS would be the only way to improve on it. May have to do it locally…
IHSH 277 IND - winner pattern and color combo
Excellent job with the collection IHJP & IHUK teams!!!

In order:
IHSH-284-IND - 6oz Wabash Short Sleeved Work Shirt
IHSH-285-OD - 5.5oz Selvedge Chambray Short Sleeved Work Shirt
IHSH-285-IND - 5.5oz Selvedge Chambray Short Sleeved Work ShirtNow it's just the struggle of really liking the pieces versus knowing that short sleeve shirts never suit me…. the 284 is crazy though, half hoping it sells like the IHSH-262-NAV so I don't even get a chance to struggle!

276
284
285ODI need more AZ summer Iron Heart gear!

I’m happy for all you warmer climate folks, I really am. The last major short sleeved shirt commitment IH made was a Spring/Summer collection about four years ago. There were a load of great chambray shirts in various colours but for some reason they sold slowly. That may be the reason there haven’t been too many the past few years.
There seems to be a lot of interest this time around so I do hope they move a bit quicker. If they do I’m sure they will become a staple product line.

Man I hope so! I know you've mentioned the earlier short sleeve runs in the past. I'm lucky to live in the Arizona mountains so I can enjoy 25oz denim with a UHF and jacket in the cold months and the 14oz (or shorts) with the lightweight short sleeve shirts in the summer.
I honestly feel lucky to have come across Iron Heart. In the before times I had always struggled finding clothes that fit the way I wanted. Sometimes I think about buying multiples of certain products because I want to wear this stuff until I'm dead. So, cheers to you Iron Heart crew.

If people buy it then it gets made and Giles will stock it. They definitely moved slowly last time around, but I do think the growth of the brand in the US over the last few years will be a decisive factor here, so the time seems right to try again.
As for being thankful for IH, I feel you. Yes it costs money, and can be a serious drain on the finances, but I too appreciate being able to buy and wear clothing that works for my climate and lifestyle, that become a fixture in my life. It adds a whole new layer of meaningfulness to the prosaic activity of buying clothes and getting dressed in the morning.

Of course right after I bought another pair of regular 888 21oz…
I need to go hit the axlotl tanks and grow more clones so I can actually wear all the stuff I want, brb.

Had to sleep on this a bit
1. IHJ-97-GRN Dig the green color a lot. Looks like a chill piece that could get a lot of wear
2. IHSH-284-IND Wabash is a fever that only more Wabash can cure
3. IH-555-SST We all know H is a genius & I have faith my range of motion will be restored

I may need to use that in the future…. genius.
As for the SST... keep the faith alive and it will be repaid.

The SS21 collection has been revealed and it is big and bold. Lots to choose from, including a slew of new items, and reconfigured classics.
What are your reactions to the collection as a whole? If you could only choose three items what would they be?
My top three:
1. IH-666-SSTThe idea of having the 666 in the dimensions intended and actually being able to get into them makes me so very happy.
2. IHV-40-BRN
I have the IHV-08 beach vest and it is one of my favourite pieces of all time. Pimping it with leather patch pockets makes buying another one an easy choice.
3. IHSH-276-IND
Just brilliant. A beautiful, beautiful shirt.
So I ended up not buying any of these
The 276 went too quickly, the IHV-40 and the IH-666-SST are both still very real possibilities however. Bought a load of other stuff too 🥰New thread for the F/W going up shortly.
