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

Retch-inducing is not necessarily a bad thing. I am sure than the US has a similar product to our Ford Sierra Mk I.

It was launching to howls of derision from consumers and journalist alike in 1982. And was promptly nicknamed "The Jelly Mould. It was awful and would never sell, we said....

It's hard to understand that reaction now (because it looks sort of normal now) because it spawned a whole new generation of jelly mould cars. What was retch worthy and a thing to mock then, is the norm a few years later.....

I remember my dad had the UK version, the XR4i when they first released them, drove it back to the UK from the factory in Germany.

Denim ball cap?

working on something here...

As a man who has to wear a hat most of the time, this is good news.

Tees in the 6.5 or 7.5oz with a Henley button-neck. Loopwheel fabric, no side seams (on the sizes that allow for that) per usual. Short or long sleeve, I don't mind.

And just figure out whatever's wrong with the IHPS and bring them back.

I knew that thing looked familiar. Sadly, we were unable to escape the XR4ti stateside as well

@EdH great idea. I have a short sleeve Henley as described from Mack Weldon and love it. An IH version would be great.

@mclaincausey

You got a 2.3 turbo and no Ford badge, ours had a 2.8 V6.

@wjw how big?

[tody]

@John-Galt IH-720-BLK?

@EdH Let’s go one better and get the 11oz in a henley! I think adding the buttons at the top would make that weight way more functional. I struggle to get mine on and off sometimes, but the cut is the best in terms of length and sleeve.

[tody]

@sabergirl Did you take a closer look at the IHTL-2401? The cut is similar to the regular 11oz longsleeves, and the brushed inside makes it super cozy.

[sabergirl]

I want to try them, but haven’t gotten the chance yet! Thanks for the tip @tody

@Lynne my head circumference is 61.5cm, but I know some people have heads even bigger than my big head.

[Lynne]

@wjw I’m working on a Reloved mechanic’s cap and a bucket hat - I’ll bear your head in mind

[wjw]

@Lynne those style hats aren't really my cup of tea. I'm more into trucker style, baseball cap style personally. But I'm sure the other large headed people would love and appreciate it! And thanks for taking my large head into consideration haha

good Sunday my friends, I don't know if it has ever been proposed, if so excuse me, but it would be nice to have other colors of IHTL-1700 (white, off-white, indigo...) maybe even with buttons, it would be really exceptional also because they keep their shape well even after washing and hard wearing

[John Galt]

@tody I totally missed the release of these in 2020; I thought only the khaki and green were available. Good to know so I can pick up on the aftermarket at some point or fingers crossed for a restock. Thanks!

[tody]

@John-Galt Are you also aware of the older 816 cut? Grey and brown whipcord were available. I have the grey, and it comes up second hand from time to time. I have yet to see the brown in the wild…
