IHJ-24 - 17oz Indigo Selvedge Denim "First Zip"
-
Picked this up in xl for £75 on ebay.
Beautiful jacket. However, I own a number of IH jackets ranging from xl (deck jacket) to xxl (riders jacket) and when it arrived the sizing was too large. Also, as a side note, the jacket smelt absolutely disgusting!
Not to be deterred, I decided to have a crack at trying to get some more shrinkage out of it, so i chucked it in a boiling hot bath for twenty mins. Weighted down with a fog cutter mug that i acquired on a drunken jaunt many years ago.
After scrubbing the resulting indigo and dirt stains off the bath, the jacket still stank, so i chucked it in the wash…...
The fit now is precisely what i wanted! Quite fitted but just enough room to layer. Couldn't be happier. Once again the construction is outstanding and love the cord collar and pocket lining. Beautiful denim! Just need to get a new leather zipper pull for it!

^^ would it be an Option to sell these seperately? I have an old IH Hoodie (02 I think) that came without one. And I'd like a second one for the lower Zipper on my IHM-08.

Fit (and the entire outfit) looks good cuttie. I'm not much for rolling sleeves so much on my outerwear, but I'm not mad @ your personal style.
Great price on an underrated item imho, The cost of getting it so cheap is you had to wash the heck out of it, hahahaha

No but you can always ask us to pop one in your next parcel or (heaven forfend) make your own, they're dead simple….

Great, will do that

For some reason it seems that this jacket isn't getting much love… which puzzles me as it's such a lovely jacket! It's my first denim jacket from Iron Heart, it's so well made and comfortable.
With this price redux, if you're on the fence go for it now!!

Finally snagged this as the second part of my denim tux for the DWC. When I saw Giles fit pics it looked great fitted, but my vision was for it to fit looser, like a more traditional chore coat, so I could layer it up in the colder months. I like the way it's worked out, freshly arrived today.
Quick and dirty pics….
