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

[neph93]

@gaseousclay  A few years ago remakes were almost unheard of. If you missed out and wanted something you had to work pretty hard to find your grail. Then G and H-san started choosing one or two shirts to revisit. It started with the red and black buffalo check UHF which I believe there have been three or four iterations of up until now. It tends to be UHF's that get remade.

This started a debate on the forum about whether this was good for the brand. Some folks (especially older heads) felt that half the fun was trying to get something on release day or having to track down "grails" because you missed out or weren't around.

IIRCC, Giles take on it was that with the growth and development of the brand and it's audience some select re-releases would be good, to let people get things that were long gone again and because the sheer amount of shirts that has amassed through the years meant that certain items are just too popular not to do that with. I get the impression that this is a carefully curated process though.

As someone who only came into this a little over three and half years ago I'm pleased that things can make a comeback, the proposed 107 remake being a case in point. As long as IH keep the remakes on point and limited, and keep up the innovation at the same time, then the future's bright [emoji41]

While we're talking Remakes, the SH 19, SH 11 or SH 01 would be very sought after items that most of us were too late to buy.
And as long as the Remake is slightly different (like the 20 vs. 72 / 127) I think it would not take away the pleasure of owning a grail item.

Just one new colour (2nd tbc) right?..

[Giles]

Correct

[Seul]

Selling my green and black to my mate… Sizing up in the 192 made me realise just how much more comfortable the fit is... Only did so because there's a(t least one) replacement a-comin 

[Dstauffer]

Sorry to beat a dead horse here G, but it's that full yoke for me. The asthetic of the double yoke is so appealing to me.

And of course the khaki/brown color…

[Giles]

I understand, the 128 has full yoke, the 13 does not….

[Dstauffer]

G, were the weights similar between the 16s and 128s?

[Seul]

13 is the only "half yokel" shirt out there, right?.. Same as only workshirt with snaps is the 91?..

I like bastards… How about a half yokel workshirt with metal buttons in khaki

For the sake og clarity, is the black being re-done?

The 16 is really heavy. A tank! I do use it as shirt/jacket.

Sax = confirmed, red/ black (not made previously) perhaps.

[neph93]

Hooray for the sax, boo-hoo for the black.

EDIT: Although it does save me a decision, or the ridiculous temptation to buy two…

Haha, too many numbers…got the 128 and 13 mixed up ::)

I like hearing this….

[Giles]

I think the weight of the IHSH-16 was about 10oz (like the IHSH-13, 21 & 128)

[Seul]

Think I handled 13,21 and a handful of 16s (khaki, blue, red, and black I think), and 16s always felt rougher, stiffer, heavier… Probs my imagination...

[Chris]

You like a handful of something heavy, rough, and stiff?

[Dstauffer]

So other than colorways, it looks like the 128 and 16 are about the same…I suppose for some true differentiation H could make an ultra heavy chambray (UHC) and go for 12oz
