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

[Jett129]

The thing that immediately caught my eye on the IHSH-340-OD was the red poly/cotton stitching that did not take the black dye. I think some others may have liked that as well. I realize that these OD flannels are kind of a happy accident,but is that something you would consider,deliberately,doing in the future?

Or bring back the Mad Black back

I saw it at the time, but I still have hope. It looks to me that, as it’s often with pioneering things, those were not understood, especially by retailers (I think it was mentioned in that thread as well) and that together with elaborate process and high price convinced IH lads to go in a more conservative direction. But maybe now the world is ready? After all we just seen in the SS24 the new natural denim, and @Alex mentioned that despite limited quantity of denim and price he thinks about making jeans out of it. Another price barrier is going to be broken, so would it matter that the new Mad Black could cost above 500€?

@Karol There was a small run of 634 25OZ OD Denim. I know you keep asking for the Mad Black,but I got the impression that it was a complicated,expensive process the first time around, that Haraki just may not be interested in repeating.

Overalls that are not double knee. With how high the double knee fabric goes up, they seem to draw attention to the nether regions a little too much for my taste.

Or... IH should go really vintage and bring back the codpiece.

How about a tribute UHF to the Glen Affric Tartan? The oldest known piece of tartan ever found, which was discovered in a peat bog. Uncovered about 40 years ago in a bog in Glen Affric in the Highlands, the tartan underwent rigorous testing last year to confirm it was the oldest surviving piece of the traditional patterned cloth. The Glen Affric tartan dates from 1500 to 1600, the Scottish Tartans Authority confirmed. It went on to be exhibited at the V&A Dundee.

@prosperone That would be perfect for a Fox Brothers x IH x Division Road collab.

@prosperone @jordanscollected
Yes

UHRib

[prosperone]

Rib = Rest in Bog?

[pechelman]

if that was a question for me, I was intending that to be UHR indigo black.

Whipcord painter pants. SBG painter pants.

[popvulture]

@pechelman oooooh I would be so down for this. Or maybe indigo indigo.

[Jett129]

I agree that a double indigo or indigo black UHR would be next level,but in light of current manufacturing conditions, probably not any time,even remotely soon,for any new denims.

[popvulture]

Definitely would be a long way out — I would just really be psyched to see some more variation on one of the heavier denims. But yeah, it’s for sure a bit of a pipe dream, given how hard it is already to get existing stuff made.

After using a tea towel to take out a cast iron pot from the oven today a pair of lined 25oz oven mitts / gloves lining could be prima loft / wool/ alpaca / duck / uhf
I really wouldn’t mind

@Brian 25 oz for the top of the hands and horsehide for the palm

Back in 2020 or so @Giles made a comment in the "Untucked" thread that IH was looking at some workshirt style CPOs. I was wondering if there's any more news?

[Giles]

We were, not sure where that is at now.....
