I’ve got to get some better pictures, but here’s a quick one I took earlier.

9 Month update for Redline Rally
Only 10 days missed . It’s super soft and comfortable to wear.

Those fades look amazing!! I’ve been looking to get a 526-LOD, but seeing these pics is making me second guess my choice. Wow.

Resistance was futile on this one even though I recently picked up the Iron Heart x Self Edge collaboration which looks fairly similar. I've wanted a Lefty for so long, and the more I went down the LHT rabbit hole, the OD version seemed to be more in line with what I'm wanting vs. the standard indigo Lefty. Will be interesting to compare this one to the Self Edge collaboration once it gets here.

So I was all prepared to get the 526 SLB slub version of the type III and then I see amazing pics like this which make me think maybe I should get the 526PJ instead. Your jacket really looks incredible.

Although the jacket looks blue in this pic, it’s most definitely black. Looking forward to the temps dropping in a few months so I can really put some mileage on it. Cheers!!

My IH526-SBG arrived today, and I must say that I'm pleasently surprised. I expected the jacket to be really short, but in actuality, it's not that much shorter than my other Iron Heart jacket, the IH-526J-142OD. What blows my mind about the SBG out of the box is how burly yet soft it is. I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Iron Heart has some magical alchemy with their fabrics that allows them to get their jackets totally dialed in. The fabric on the SBG is incredibly substantial but also very pliable which gives it an almost custom fitted bombproof feel. As others have noted, the sleeves are a bit large, but I think once the creases set it, the volume won't be as noticeable. I may try the spray bottle treatment as someone else posted in this thread to see how that goes, but as it stands now they're not that bad. Honestly, I'm really chuffed with this jacket, and look forward to seeing what kind of fades I can get in it. Going to wear it tomorrow while shoveling snow (we got close to 6 inches today and it's still coming down). As usual, thanks to everyone in this forum for your great feedback.

Thank you guys. @Mizmazzle I can confirm, the nice drapping and how ridiculously soft it is now. It‘s just THE perfect weight for a denim jacket. Funnily enough I got enough comments from non-Iron Heart people how heavy this jacket was

Wore my jacket today while running errands today, and had someone stop me at Costco and ask about it. Dude was in total wonderment as to how soft the jacket is, yet he too commented about how heavy it is. I guess when you're used to store brand denim jackets, or even some newer Levis, Iron Heart at 14oz's is still a heavyweight for the uninitiated.

Sidenote, @beef_bonanza your jacket looks killer; I can't believe how blue it is, and the fades are incredible!! Mine is still holding onto it's original solid black color, so I've definitely got much work yet to do with it. Every time I wear it however, I still marvel at just how soft the fabric is; it's literally from a galaxy far, far away!!

@Luijim78 Thanks much for your detailed info as well as the comparison pictures. When I was looking at the sizing between the OD Lefty and the Indigo Lefty, it almost looks like I should go with a size smaller in the Indigo, as even with shrinkage, it's still going to be a bit too big. Unfortunately, the smaller size in the Indigo is sold out, so I waited too long to jump on it. Not the end of the world given I have the LOD, but I've always wanted an Indigo Lefty as well. Think I will sell the Self Edge / Iron Heart collaboration jacket so I have the funds available if the Indigo Lefty becomes available at one of Iron Heart's retail partners.

Anyway, thanks again @Luijim78 for your help!!

Jacket ordered!! Thanks much to everyone here on the forum as well as IH customer service for their assistance. Really looking forward to receiving this and finally getting to have my own experience with Iron Heart.

Cheers!!

I had no business getting another jacket, but there was one left in my size and FOMO got the best of me. Boom: order placed. Hoping it looks as good in person as it does in the pics I’ve seen online of the new batch.

@Luijim78 Hey, if you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for your lefty to start showing fades like that? I recently bought the Self Edge / Iron Heart OD collaboration as well as the 526LOD, and I'm trying really hard not to purchase the indigo 526L, but I've wanted one for awhile and the whole FOMO thing is real. The 526LOD is amazing and is a keeper but I'm still really intrigued with the indigo 526L. Really like the electric blue pops on yours.

I soooooooo don't need this jacket given I just picked up the Iron Heart x Self Edge collaboration, yet I've wanted one of these for so long. The two models look very similar, yet the pics of the LOD look like the initial fading areas are more distinct. Can anyone comment on the differences between the two models? I'm totally on the fence.

Going to try the spray method mentioned above on my SEXIH25-TIII - Self Edge x Iron Heart OD jacket...but maybe not today as it's supposed to be close to 100 degrees today. Already feels hot AF and it's still early in the morning!!

@CosmoSix5 Great pictures; the OD looks killer!! I would love to see a comparison between it and the recent Self Edge collaboration jacket that was released as they look fairly similar.

@MSav32323 Nice, that's great to hear!! Mine still hasn't shipped out yet, so I'm living vicariously though you and anyone else who received their OD jacket. It looks like it's the best of all worlds with tons of fading potential. Can't wait for mine to get here!!

@MSav32323 The OD is looking sweet with SF as the backdrop; great pictures!!! How are you liking it so far?

@Johnnyutah247 Just keep trying!! Sooner or later you’re bound to get in and get what you wanted. Their servers are just being bombarded right now, but you’re bound to get lucky if you keep at it. Fingers crossed for you!!

@MSav32323 Glad you were able to finally get in and get what you wanted. Persistence is the name of the game for this drop for sure!!
