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

[Giles]

Someone manages to get Haraki and Nogami-san into the same room to discuss.

"So Haraki-san, it is has been said that Iron Heart have better cuts but worse denim than Samurai and Nogami-san, your cuts are crap but your denim is great.  How about combining the good bits (or should I say, take out the crap bits) and make a better overall jean?"

The next 30 seconds would be interesting.

@mclaincausey:

IH has done a two brand combination jean actually. With Jelado or someone, can't remember who.

EDIT: yep http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/americaya/item/jagih-219-bk/?s-id=borderless_recommend_item_en

Sure there has, but you have to understand the personalities, friendships and jealousies that exist within and between the brands.

Look at the once good friends the Osaka 5 for evidence…

Just for clarity, I was not trying to say that IH denim is crap. I'm fact my favorite denim I've ever owned is still the SExIH13 denim but I know I've asked about it being reproduced in the past and it was said it won't happen. It wasn't a suggestion that either company has sub par anything. It was just trying to hash out how the two would work together as that's what a collab is … A little of this, a little of that, mix it all together and that's that. As far as personalities clashing and competitiveness I get it completely, sometimes those things are hard to put behind us. It was simply a brainstorm of  an idea, no harm was meant or disrespect to either company about anything they do. Obviously I'm a huge fan of both.

No offence or disrespect taken.  Just trying to explain stuff (badly)…...And I don't think that either H or me think of others as competitors (there is room for everyone), there are just some things that won't happen.  There are fierce loyalties and whatever the opposite is) in Japan.....

GAUZE shirts for the summer. Please make some long sleeve gauze western shirts. I got one years ago and I can't find anything like it anywhere.  I would love to see one in a plaid blue/white/black/brown color scheme with brown snaps (tiger eye).

[mclaincausey]

Linen would be another option. You could make that IH-beefy but still breathable with the right weave.

I would love a re-run of this tee shirt.

me too, pretty please, lets call it the IH blasts from the past special collection…

Blast from the past collection 

[John Ariz]

I know s/s are getting rare but I dig the mechanics (ie 25, 57). Would love to see this(below) resurrected with black stripes instead of indigo and no patches like the original…. or just a new iteration of this cut

[riffblaster general]

Id love a heavy sweat version of the D-01 ala the 64.  Snaps and hand pockets and all.

And I'm still waiting on IH guitar straps g!

[jdl1279]

^I'll second the guitar strap!

Real black jeans with Buster top block and a slight more taper I.E. size 34 would have 33’’ waist and 8’’ hem. Think fadeless black jeans for a person with a powerful build and western boots, a typical American.

[Giles]

Unlikely to be releasing any new cuts for a while.  Plenty of new denim and duck in the works, but we simply can't cope with introducing new cuts.

[4c]

Figured it would be for consideration at a later date if at all… Thanks for listening.

21oz Super Black Guitar Strap with some nice nickeled hardware and black leather ends

[riffblaster general]

Suede backing on the strap too please.

Just got a jacket made of a treated cotton satin twill called Epic. This is what the field jacket should be made of. Would not need Ventile, it is extremely wet and wind resistant and has the hand and maintenance qualities of regular satin twill.
