American heritage clothing between workwear and motorcycle culture
Iron & Resin offers a collection of clothing and accessories rooted in American heritage aesthetics, where workwear, motorcycle culture, and the outdoors merge into pieces designed to last. The selection includes rugged shirts, technical and heritage jackets, traditional knitwear, and functional accessories, all sharing authentic materials and solid construction that improve with use and time.
Robust materials and long-lasting construction
Iron & Resin garments use heavyweight, durable fabrics selected for longevity. Shirts are crafted from 7-ounce heavyweight cotton flannel, pre-shrunk and brushed for instant softness, or 14-ounce cotton canvas with a double-layer reinforced Western yoke. Jackets feature 9- to 14-ounce cotton canvas, durable Bedford Cord, or rawhide leather that develops a natural patina over time. Some styles incorporate specialized linings like Buffalo flannel or Sherpa fleece for warmth, while details like double and triple felled seams, heavy-duty Talon zippers, and metal snaps ensure structural strength. Accessories use vegetable-tanned leather, waxed cotton canvas, and wool in blends designed for comfort and durability.
Types of garments and stylistic inspirations
The collection reflects diverse traditions of American functional clothing. Western shirts feature reinforced yokes, snaps, and flap pockets, ideal for layering and everyday wear. Jacquard flannel shirts offer warmth and comfort with yarn-dyed stripe patterns. Cotton canvas work vests with ribbed collars and welt pockets are versatile layers for intermediate temperatures. Jackets range from M65-inspired styles with concealed hoods to service jackets with corduroy details and warm linings, to statement pieces like the buffalo leather jacket with Western yoke details. Knitwear includes wool-polyamide blend fisherman's sweaters with a structured weave and a fit that improves with wear.
Functional details and heritage philosophy
Each Iron & Resin piece incorporates details designed for real-world use: storage loops under the collar, flannel-lined interior zippered pockets, double-button cuffs for adjustment, reinforced shoulders, and custom embroidery. Headwear includes wool beanies with a cuff and embossed leather logo, structured waxed canvas hats with leather straps, and deconstructed snapback styles. This attention to functional detail reflects the brand's philosophy: creating authentic pieces that complement an active lifestyle, spanning the streets, the outdoors, and everyday urban life.
Color palette and versatility of use
The colors favor natural and versatile tones such as olive and military green, black, navy blue, cognac brown, and terracotta, consistent with the workwear and outdoor aesthetic. This color palette makes the pieces easily combinable and suitable for a variety of contexts, from urban wear to road trips, while maintaining a recognizable and timeless stylistic identity.

What materials does Iron & Resin use for its garments?
Iron & Resin primarily uses heavyweight cotton in various finishes: 9- to 14-ounce cotton canvas for workwear jackets and shirts, pre-shrunk and brushed cotton flannel, cotton twill for linings, and waxed cotton for accessories. Some styles feature raw buffalo leather, vegetable-tanned leather, wool blended with polyamide, Bedford Cord, and Sherpa fleece for insulating linings.
What does "American heritage" mean in Iron & Resin clothing?
Iron & Resin's American heritage draws inspiration from workwear tradition, Californian motorcycle culture, and the American outdoors. The pieces recall garments historically used for manual labor, road trips, and outdoor activities, reinterpreted with authentic materials and durable construction that prioritize functionality and longevity over seasonal trends.
Are Iron & Resin jackets and shirts suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, Iron & Resin garments are designed to be versatile and functional in both outdoor and urban settings. The flannel and cotton canvas shirts are perfect for everyday layering, while the jackets and vests offer protection and comfort for everyday wear. The durable materials and meticulous construction make them ideal for those seeking reliable everyday clothing.
What are the Talon hinges mentioned on some products?
Talon zippers are premium heavy-duty closures, historically used in workwear and military apparel for their strength and reliability. Iron & Resin uses them in some vests and jackets to ensure long-lasting durability and an aesthetic consistent with the brand's heritage. These functional details contribute to the longevity of the garment.
How do you care for heavy cotton and flannel clothing?
Iron & Resin heavy cotton canvas and flannel garments benefit from gentle washing at low temperatures to preserve the fibers and treatments. Many fabrics are pre-washed, so shrinkage is minimal. We recommend following specific care labels, avoiding high-heat dryers, and preferring natural drying to maintain the fabric's shape and texture over time.
Does the buffalo leather of the Centennial Jacket require any special care?
Raw buffalo leather is a natural material that develops a unique patina with use. It doesn't require frequent treatment, but can benefit from occasional leather conditioners to maintain its softness. It's normal for the leather to darken and soften over time, a feature appreciated in the heritage aesthetic. Avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity and store in a dry place.
