Collaboration and Releases with Freenote Cloth & Iron Heart
This week, we have stalwart style pieces from Freenote Cloth and Iron Heart, built for the hard-wearing outdoor life of the ranch, the long motorcycle ride, and the daily road in between. Whether your wardrobe needs the durability to tend land, wrench on bikes, or just survive the chaos of modern life, it is a luxury to have goods that can perform in those conditions without making you look like you’re headed for a cattle call or cast in a biker melodrama. With a full assembly of outerwear, denim, shirts, and trousers that are as rare as they are foundational, this release brings rugged functionality into a more refined, wearable register. Pick your next piece for your next adventure, and for the journey through whatever life throws your way.
Freenote Cloth x Division Road
At last, we have our Western Leather Scout collaboration, made in very limited numbers and available in rare Opera Tannery Harvest Brown Deerskin. Luxurious, pliable, durable, and distinct, this is the leather shirt jacket you’ve been waiting for to refashion into your personal style profile, bringing western utility and refined material character into one exceptional piece. Coming alongside it is a restock of the Classic Jacket in Japanese Unsinged Denim from Kaihara Mills, a go-to denim jacket built to move from patina project to heirloom collectible while pairing with a host of bottoms for the everyday man.
The Portola arrives in a new 15.75 oz. Black x Black denim from Kaihara Mills, using a thickened 5 x 5 twill for a durable, flexible drape with a pronounced weave and a deep tonal fade range. The new Ortega Pant is a splendid update to the classic carpenter trouser, with considered detailing throughout, made in an all-season 13 oz. Japanese Herringbone Twill for unrivaled comfort, function, and styled fits. Rounding out the release, the Worker Chinos are back in full stock in a versatile, military-inspired Army Green for the standard heritage guy heading out on the town, into the shop, or off to the office.
Iron Heart
With a focus on archived Iron Heart classics, we bring back some highly collectible and requested pieces, paired with long-awaited denim fits in new fabric iterations. The 49-J Brown Split Steer Roughout Leather Modified Type III is regarded as one of the most approachable leather jackets in our niche, offering a lifetime of use and versatile styling potential in a form that is tough as nails without trying too hard to prove it. One of Iron Heart’s original Western shirts, the 07-IND Indigo Hickory Stripe Twill, is produced once more in an indigo-dyed dobby-loom woven twill with rich texture, fading potential, pearl snaps, red bartacks, and the construction details that made it a cult classic.
We also have a new denim development applied to some of Iron Heart’s most popular core fits: the 16 oz. Slubby Selvedge denim, engineered with proprietary yarns and low-tension weaving for a hearty, comfortable, fade-heavy character, now taken to the next level with Iron Heart’s signature overdye process. With a black garment overdye applied over an indigo warp and natural weft, this charred blue-black denim is built to fade all the way to white with extensive wear. Debuted in the 888 Classic Relaxed Tapered fit and the hallmark 634 Straight fit, these modern-to-vintage cuts make this heavy-duty niche-on-niche Slubby selvedge denim approachable to novices and craft collectors alike.
