      A million and one reasons.  The 526 just gets made and made and made and made.  No real tweaks to the pattern.  When we do a run of anything, we tend to make a sample or samples which actually costs a lot because typically the best seamstresses work in the sampling department and it's a one off, they are experimenting etc etc.  The costs of that development have to get amortised across the production run, if it's a small production run then each item has to bear more of the development cost.  Overdyeing costs a lot, that is why overdyed stuff invariably costs more than it's undyed brother.

      And believe it or not, the margins on some of the stuff are incredibly low.  If Self Edge made the same margin out of all the IH stuff as he does out of the 526J and the 634S, you probably would not be able to buy Iron Heart in the US…

        Because there have been a few questions surrounding the 3 similar yet different IH OD Type III's, I thought this might help with any confusion about what makes each different.

        SExIH07BKIII [OG] - Modified/ Overdyed Type III w/ Pockets. Diesel Patch. SExIH Collab came out in 2009 with the SExIH07BK and Indigo Jeans. Unsanforized 19oz Selvedge - Garment Dyed w/ Black Fugitive Pigment Dye.

        SExIH07BKIII [Long] - Modified/ Overdyed Type III w/ Pockets. Diesel Patch. Extra 2 inches in length. Came out in 2011 (I think). Unsanforized 19oz Selvedge - Garment Dyed w/ Black Fugitive Pigment Dye.

        IH-526Jod - Regular Type III Overdyed. No Pockets. No special Patch. 21oz Selvedge Indigo given the OD Treatment.

                  Is the new SE jacket going to get it's own thread here?

                    Yeah, once Self Edge releases it, we'll go ahead and create a thread for it, same for the new jeans…

                          Wore as much as the weather would allow anyway. We had quite a hot summer this year and it was mostly shorts and tanks

                            This jacket is so dope. I'm trying to pick up the one in B&S, but definitely don't want this too small. If I'm a normal medium (comfy fit) could I do a 38 or is that asking for trouble?

                              grandmasterben, I also usually take 38 in IH jackets but went for 40 in this.  I tried on both 38 and 40 in SENY and the main issue with the 38 was that the sleeves felt short.  The 40 is a bit big on me if I wear just a t-shirt underneath but works perfectly with another layer.  hope that is helpful.

                                I second the rec for 40, but qualify that saying I've only had the original, not the later modified/long version

                                  im a 42 and i had a 46 that was a bit big, a 44 would have been perfect, it was the OG not the 2 inch longer version

                                          Thanks dude! Yeah it seriously is. By far the most intense garment of any kind that I've felt. This is next-level robust. I really dig the fit too, especially the pockets and extra 2". Love it!

                                            I'm glad IH is making these and other classic jacket models with extra length. The shorter cuts can be tough to wear.
