IHSB-C3J - Simmons Bilt/Iron Heart C3 Jacket
-
Arrived.
I ordered the modified version, (thanks, @meckintosh) with a few dimensional tweaks and an extra button for the throat latch. Oh plus I know @Giles doesn't do black leather jackets…..well, I don't do brown, so It's black all the way!
I deliberately went for a long and roomy fit as want to wear sweaters, uhf etc under.
Construction is fantastic!
Fit pics when I have the time.
This looks great! Any fit pics yet? Did you do the knit inner arm cuffs, or leave standard?
-
Hey, my life is pretty crazy at the mo, so no fit pics yet, but yes I did the storm cuffs, throat latch, inner packets, side entry outer pockets.
so warm and comfortable…

No worries about the fit pics…the jacket spec details are perfect.

Oh, I forgot one thing…. the zipper is fantastic, nicely over engineered YKK! With IH Branding.
I love this, as crappy zippers really piss me off! -
Just got delivery of mine!
It seems like a decent fit but I should be able to confirm when I get home.
Jacket is stunning in the flesh!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some quick and dirty fit pics!
Over an office shirt:
Luckily, it takes an UHF underneath with ease. No pressure or pulling anywhere and super comfortable to boot:
And I find it works great with just a T-shirt:
Back looks very distinctive:
Overall very happy with the fit!… And really impressed by the quality and feel of the jacket.
A big shout out to @Alex for seeing this through, thanks a ton mate!
..and to @Disheveled for inspiring this great purchase with his badass pics.... [emoji6]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I want one of these.

Congratulations on the purchase.
Really impressed by the quality and feel of the jacket.
I own the vest and the quality of the sheepskin really is impressive, both sides seems immaculate and are crazy tactile. Add to that the brilliant taping and stitching and you have a top quality, classic bit of kit for life.

Can be organised….
When the boy is out of GOSH (and hopefully the woods) and I am able to go back to work, I look forward to saving some pennies for next winter.

I had a sheepskin jacket as I kid that my boys will inherit as soon as they're big enough. Would be great to pass down another one later in life.

Unfortunate for @meckintosh and embarrassingly for me, the beaut of a jacket above does not fit him.
I'm going to get a new one made for him.
Anyone interested in the one that does not fit?
Approx 1 size too large for me.
We'll publish sizing when we get it back…
@Giles was this snapped up?
-
Thanks @Disheveled @rocket @neph93 ! My intention is to make it my winter daily beater and finally give my 5 year old N-1 a well-deserved break..
@tmg @Streetwise Hercules I say don't hesitate… as long as you live somewhere cold enough!
That's a lot of jacket/warmth for money, super comfy and functional and very impressive in the flesh.. a very happy customer right there -
I live about 30 miles north west of London and was wondering how much of the year I could likely use it.
Any ideas?
