IH-526J-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo/Black
-
been waiting to see/hear how this size worked out for you @Oaktavia and it looks spot on!
Looking forward to see what you do with that as well.What do you think of the 14oz ib? I can't recall if you already had something in this fabric or if it was your first piece?
-
@pechelman it fits like a glove man. I like that it is shorter too. I prefer to tuck my tshirts in most of the time. I have the western version of this jacket with about 180 wears from a few years ago. I ordered it right when it dropped. I pulled it out of my closet the other day. I'll take photos and post them side by side sometime soon.

@Mister_Brue this one would suit you well man
-
@Oaktavia looking phenomenal on you brother!! I am still debating this one, a 33 or the 21oz sbg as my next jackets/shirts project. The indigo black is really something special
-
@FlavourFade if it were me I'd go with the 33 and one of the jackets. Depends on what you want out of a jacket though to make that decision. What you want it to look like after some wear. The SBG and 142ib look super different after time. Both jackets are amazing. One heavy, one lighter. Grey vs. Indigo...there is no wrong choice.
-
@Oaktavia yeah you are right I think both are great and I will just decide when the sbg arrives which one it will be. Super hard for me since I want to take a step back and not just get both
would you say it feels noticebly lighter than a lefty? More breathable?A 33 will follow next year too I think but I still have a 62 I want to work on more first.

@FlavourFade said in IH-526J-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo/Black:
@Oaktavia would you say it feels noticebly lighter than a Lefty?
The 142ib? It's much lighter than a Lefty. It's like a robust version of the typical jean jackets that normies wear. Nothing compares to a Lefty.
-
@Oaktavia yeah because I feel like the 21 oz Type3 is more breathable and softer as the Lefty but still warm so the 142ib could fill a hole there
-
The leftie is a whole different thing. It's so much more rigid and rough than the 14oz and 21oz. It is more wind proof also. It's a very tough denim but fades like no other.
-
I grabbed the last L from Ironheart Germany.
Here together with my 526Lod. The difference in weight and stiffness is huge but I felt the need for a bit more lightweight jacket.
-
@Luijim78 is that the one they used the same indigo in the n1 if so so I have that as well, it is a great jacket a little on the small side for me to layer with so I tend to only wear it in the summer, it fits you very well enjoy it you have much more sunshine than me.
-
@Marcel great pick! How different is the fit? I also have the lefty OD and am looking for something lighter in the rotation
-
@FlavourFade
The dimensions are pretty much identical for size L but because of the lighter fabric the 14oz feels less restrictive. -
It's getting warmer here so I've been wearing this one again!
I really like this jacket but when IH reissues the 21oz version I think I'm going to grab one too!
Oh and it happened again.. I was in a mall with my daughter and this dude walking in front of me kept looking back. Then he says "Nice Iron Heart" haha, last time this happened was with my Wabash CPO and that dude asked me where it was from. Turns out the guy from today was already wearing a Tanker jacket!
So I grabbed this selfie.. I had to haha
In all my years, no complete stranger has ever complimented my clothes. This is the second time in like a month. haha
Nice, Iron Heart!
