The Iron Heart Forum Triangle of Terror Type III Trucker Tour 2018 - Updates thread

[neph93]

The forum has come together and crowd funded the purchase of an IH-526L-od (XXL). The jacket will be toured throughout the USA, the UK, Germany with a little stop in Norway. As @Appfaff christened it, a “Triangle of Terror”. It will be awesome.

The official start date is 1.1.2018 but the jacket has already arrived with Appfaff in Alabama (pretty much the only stop on the tour with type III weather in January), so a little xmas preview should be in order.

In case Americans, Brits or Germans wish to organise meet ups/in person handovers, I'm perfectly fine with small changes to the schedule within your respective countries but I ask that you do the following: Organise it amongst yourselves via PM and then let me know the plan. As long as I can see that it works out I'll make the changes here.

For those of you new to touring IH gear it’s pretty straightforward. You receive the jacket and it’s yours for about four weeks. Wear it as much as possible, and post here as much as you can. It’s as much about giving an insight into your everyday as it is about tracking the jacket evo. Towards the end of your leg, get in touch with the next member on the list and ship the jacket to them. Meet ups and in person hand-overs are great if possible. For inspiration you could do a lot worse than checking out the 888 Fatboy tour here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10586.msg514002#msg514002

No apologies for the tour pic and title, btw. Bad alliteration and terrible graphic design are two of my favourite things

Yeah buddy! Looks awesome!

Very exciting, thanks to @neph93 for getting this organised, and I know @Appfaff is the man to open up a tour

[Appfaff]

Cheers gents- the fit and fabric is beyond amazing.

A little snug for me, but wearable for sure

I like the trim fit, it looks very well on ya!

[neph93]

Snug?! It looks like it was tailored for you mate. Brilliant. How are you liking it in terms of fabric? I have od’ed 21oz but the 19oz lefty is one of the only IH denims I have no experience with.

[Appfaff]

The 19L is an amazing Denim - I had the original 634-19L and the fabric was crazy stuff, very little give, and faded beautifully.

The OD version of the new Lefty feel quiet pliable, is very soft and super comfy

Ironic, considering that your climate doesn't exactly encourage wearing jackets.
