Collaborations with Iron Heart and Fox Brothers
As the temps rise, many of us are fancying the crisp fall weather to come. As a preview and in preparation, we bring you some exceptional, one-and-done limited collaboration releases you’ll be grateful to have gathered when the seasons switch. Two long-term developments with Iron Heart have come to fruition with the highly collectible 434 DR Fox Wool CPO and the 502 DR Serviceman Cargo. We have two Fox Brothers® Blanket collaborations for the home using a single-run worsted wool cloth series reproduced from the archives inspired by the Silver Screen. Don’t wait for it and wonder what wool and workwear could have been, as these exclusive pieces will seamlessly transition your wardrobe and home from summer's end to the welcoming of fall.
Iron Heart x Division Road 434 Fox Brothers Wool CPO Shirts
For our third edition, anticipated and geared to the Iron Heart and DR corps, we are pleased to bring you another pack of our Fox Brothers® Wool CPO. Coming in limited batch specials, the 434 CPO shirt is specifically designed to leverage this premium 14 oz. Fox Cloth in the West of England recipe in worsted lambswool. The simple, practical design of the IHDR-434 Wool CPO pattern fits like a shirt and styles for all occasions. Refined from the original Chief Petty Officer issue, this wool shirt has a hallmark strong collar, flap front patch chest pockets, and a buttoned front placket and cuffs.
This CPO is further elevated with above military-grade melamine buttons and twill trim lining throughout. This edition comes in a Hickory Hunter Check Twill with an olive, wheat, and midnight palette, paired with a Cigar Brown Barleycorn version with a timeless dimensional birdseye weave using brown, camel, and chestnut yarns. These special edition cloths are designed to reflect the changing moods of England’s Southwest countryside and have a luxurious finish and feel that combines with an engineered structure and drape for two unique identities to serve any collector’s needs from the workshop to the woods.
Iron Heart x Division Road 502DR Military Whipcord Serviceman Cargos
After a multi-year expedition to find the perfect fabric to reissue our evolved Serviceman Cargo back to its military roots, we bring you the 12 oz. Bedford Whipcord iterations in Olive Drab and Khaki for what must be the heartiest built and most style-versatile cargo out there. Based on the 888 fit with a roomy top block and slightly tapered leg, it gives a comfortable, classic silhouette that reads modern and can be sized for profile versatility from slim to loose.
Ready for any mission, every construction element is over-the-top, and design details are thoroughly considered with perfectly placed and proportioned front, back, and cargo pockets along with double knee panels, reinforcements, and hardware, all above military-grade. The Japanese 12 oz. Bedford Whipcord is fashioned after jungle cloths from the 40s as a multi-directional weave with a slight woven cord rib effect — making the fabric extremely durable — which flexes and molds astoundingly well. From design to fabric, fit, and detailing, these 502DR Cargos are a composition to signify what Iron Heart does best — make the original different by making it better.
Fox Brothers x Division Road Silver Screen Blankets
For our second edition of the Fox Brothers Blankets, we give you a single-run limited edition cloth reproduced from the 1930s archive with improved processes inspired by the film culture of the 1940s. As a creator of some of the finest wool fabrics globally, Fox Brothers® is our chosen partner for collaborative projects to create timeless pieces for our discerning product enthusiasts. Established in 1772, Fox Brothers has been at the forefront of textile innovation, sourcing premium fibers worldwide and employing meticulous hand-driven milling and cording techniques.
They are the inventors and pioneers in flannel finishing and the worsting process. We are fortunate to be a select collaborator and produce these exclusive blankets using special run cloths for home goods that are an authentic luxury. The Hollywood Chestnut has a rich coastal palette of natural sand and sky-blue double chalk stripe on a golden-brown field for a striking and soft addition to the home. The London Charcoal Brown mixes the city's grey sky and stone architecture into a heathered ebony field that, with a classic camel double chalk stripe, references its antique inspiration, presenting aged, subtle luxury at its finest.
