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

[Alex]

We have thrown the dog collar idea around the office a few times, it's on the maybe list

[Kasi]

I remember 8 years ago

You buy a pair of jeans. Was given a dog tag written what you wanted.

Still have it.

[EdH]

Has anyone ever suggested polo-shirts? I went to a lawyers conference yesterday and was very overdressed (and hot) in a suit, compared to the majority of guys who were rocking cooler fabrics like linens and polos. I'm finding that since the pandemic office-wear standards have become more relaxed and a polo T-shirt with a collar is very acceptable.

If they were a go-er, I'd like the option of long sleeves too, as I like to keep the tats (a) covered in the office and (b) protected from the sun whenever I can.

Colour wise, I'd be game for all the classics. Black/charcoal, navy, olive, white, ecru...

There were these a few years ago @EdH

@Alex Cooool !!! Fingers crossed

[Kasi]

@EdH
I have the polo shirt navy and blue

These are longer in length

Then pimp it’s with GAH Cat eyes

[EdH]

@Twistlock @Kasi Oh nice. A pity that I only discovered IH 18 months or so ago and missed these.

I guess then that I'm asking for a re-run of the polos, and a long-sleeve option.

[Tago Mago]

I'd second the polo suggestion but would prefer a polo with a more subtle logo. Or no logo at all

[Kasi]

Polo shirts
When they were reruns again had a problem being wider rather than longer.
That was the last of it being available in Gosport

[Crispy Heron]

@Tago-Mago - as someone in a similar position to @EdH and having to go ‘smart casual’ a lot, I would love a re-run of a polo shirt.

[EdH]

@Kasi Wider-not-longer suits me fine, as I'm broad in the shoulders and chest.

[Twistlock]

IIRC some years ago there was the idea of doing some kind of smart shirting line under a different branding then IH, that however never came to fruition, do not recall the reason why it was. Still love the idea.

[Kasi]

I did get the second run in grey
Didn’t like it fit was awful
That when Alex became aware of this issue.

I like the first run better

First run sold out quick

[Alex]

First run was great, second run was shite. We asked to adjust back the pattern, didn't get much traction in Japan so we moved on.

[EdH]

That's a shame.

[Nocturama]

@Tago-Mago - tonal logos FTW!

[Alex]

@EdH big time. The first batch were great. Never say never, but I think its unlikely

[tody]

Did the idea of re-running the raglan shirts gain any traction?

[sabergirl]

I want both more raglans and polos! Still kick myself for missing both.

[Alex]

@tody cut and sewn in general is a tough area for us at the moment, with increasing costs in Japan and a smaller workforce. I would say this has more likelihood than polos in the short term, but no promises
