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

@mclaincausey exclusivity drives sales. Whether it's a limited run item or a core item like Wabash with only 1 left in your size. If everything had an unlimited supply the random one off colors and fabrics would be much less intriguing to buyers.
I know you know all this info, but I want to spew it out anyhow.
Life is filled with impulse decisions driven by chance, opportunity, rarity, exclusivity, FOMO, etc.
Iron Heart buyers aren't immune to a purchase driven by the above factors that they then realize wasn't the best idea after the hype settled. Or, it becomes a favorite item that has a cool story that no one cares to listen to about it.

How about a set of denim coveralls? 21oz, 18oz, 17oz natural?
Or how about some bibs in 14oz?
6.5oz or 7.5oz sleeveless shirt?
21oz denim backpack?
Just rattling off some tings that have been on my brain the last couple of days as I'm getting ready for Spring and Summer.

Not saying I’d wear them, but chambray coveralls make a lot of sense to me. I’ve got swamp nuts just thinking about heavy denim coveralls

Blanket Lined Duck Canvas Jacket
Hello!
I have been a fan of the forum and IH for years and I have many great items which I am absolutely loving. I have waited in the shadows for a particular jacket for a few years but I have never seen it. I now feel compelled to ask about this jacket and I am really curious to know why IH doesn't do something like this.
The jacket I so love is a blanket lined duck canvas jacket (brown, black or blue). I had the original Carhartt Detroit but the fit is not on point for me. I currently own the Carhartt WIP version which is, in my opinion, a really nice interpretation of the original jacket. However, it's modernized for the masses and is somewhat 'streetware' which means it has some short comings.
I searched the forum but I could not find a topic like this so here it is:
Would IH ever make, or has IH ever made, a blanket lined duck canvas jacket with a corduroy collar. I do own the whipcord jacket which has the cord collar and ventile lining which absolutely rips (IHJ-61), but it's not warm enough for Hamburg.Since you asked for my opinion, I would say that jacket (IHJ-61) without the button at the hem, and perhaps with a single slit breast pocket, made from the 17oz duck canvas and lined with the blanket lining from the 101J in both black and brown would mean I will likely never ever take it off ever again. I'll show myself out now.
Thanks!

@pechelman seconded!

It would be really nice to have those beasts with those sexy copper snap buttons back.

I'd still love a Type 3 in the 21oz OD denim. Wearing the 777od right now and they feel so soft, I think I would pj the sh!t out of a jacket in this denim

@FlavourFade yeah, i don't know why we keep forgetting to do this...

@Yoprst, @Oaktavia is spot on. I suspect that guy bought our workshirts with snaps then asked us to upgrade his snaps at checkout. For eg, on the indigo one:

You cant pimp buttons to snaps. You have to start off with something with snaps. Like this:

or this

or this
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/tops/IHSH-326-BLK.htmlAnd you add the Copper HD Snap. Here:

@Oaktavia Agreed, dig that look.
Would love a 326-style 14oz indigo black with copper snaps.
