What are the chances of a size S arriving at a later date?

[Giles]

not for a few months…..None in Japan. We'll have to wait until we do a re-run.....

[bryaneidins70]

Any chance of getting a restock of large's?

[Giles]

We are rerunning them at the moment….I guess 6-8 weeks....

G, do these always have a two-way zipper? Some pictures look like they do but others don't and the description doesn't mention it.

[Alex]

The latest ones do, we need to update the photos

[kdub617]

Awesome! The only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger was the lack of a two-way zipper. 

[Sam]

Updated photos with the new two way zipper!

[kdub617]

Do the new two-way zipper versions measure the same as the older ones?

[Giles]

Yes, otherwise we would have notified you here and updated the sizing table.

When we get a rerun, we always re-measure to check for variation…

Thanks Giles. I'm new here so I'm still trying to get the lay of the land. Cheers!

what's the benefit of a two-way zipper? I've never seen one in person. Does that kind of turn it into a pullover hoodie since you can't completely unzip it?

[Dstauffer]

You should be able to completely unzip it. thereWhat's nice is that you can zip it all the way to the top and then unzip it at the bottom like the picture below.

In terms of the benefits, its tough for me to exactly describe why I prefer them, but I do….I'm sure that is shit loads of help

You can completely unzip it. The bottom zipper has the same function as the stopper on a regular zipper, but the benefit of also functioning as an upwards opening zip.

They are favoured by Iron Heart because they are useful for bikers when riding (flexibilty and movement), or when wanting to access pockets under the double zippered layer that would otherwise require removing or opening the entire garment.

I unzip the bottom when I'm in the car.  It keeps it from bunching up in your lap or pushing the rest of it up around your chin.

Once you get a two way zipper, you'll want one on all your jackets.

I have been reading that its a fairly simple process to retro-fit as a DIY project or a couple bucks to pay a local tailor/seamstress…

[Chris]

I had our tailor retrofit one for me and she didn't charge much to do the job.  I sourced the zipper myself for about ten bucks, I think.  Totally worth it.

Are the measurements for the S the same as the other zip hoodies? I couldn't find them in this thread, hoping these are a touch longer..

[Giles]

Whoops, we will pop into the office and update the sizing chart…
