      I used to think I need the pockets as I put my hands in them all the time when a jacket has them, but my Type II showed me that I can do without.
      That said, if Giles had offered the SE Version at the same price I think I would have gone with the pockets but now I am really glad that mine doesn't have them. I like that it gives the front of the jacket a better silhouette and the material doesn't bulge as much.  The Gun pockets are super useful for the edc stuff by the way.

        When the pockets are empty they don't bulge at all.  And bulging is not very noticeable if the jacket is not zipped.  I mostly use them to store my hat and gloves when I take the jacket off.  They are also make it convenient to store gloves when doing things such as shopping.

          Just my two cents (I have the SE version), I do love the hand warmer pockets, but I also like that the side gusset zippers have been removed. Its not a huge deal either way, but I would have mine zipped down if they were there so I prefer not having them at all.

          Regardless, both the SE and IH versions are winners and definitely get lots of wear during the cooler months.

          You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

            The side Zippers are a huge win for me, as some IH jackets are really snug in the waist when they're closed. The Zippers make it possible to get a slim fit in the top block while still have enough room around the waist - it's perfect for my bodytype.

              Crazy nice jacket and fit.  It may have only fit the horse better!  😃 😃

                Some small evo is already happening. As much as i like it I'm also a bit worried of it fading too fast as i have not worn it very hard yet. What do the other owners think that wore them for a longer time? @Tempvs @DrPat @motojobobo @Dstauffer

                  I've only noticed evo on the cuffs and next to the zipper.  It seems that the "roll" in these two locations makes it easier for evo to occur.

                    Cool, thanks for the quick reply. These are exactly the spaces I notice it too. Did I mention I absolutley love the fit, feel and fabric of that jacket? The best purchase in the last years for sure.

                      I've got the SE version. Im glad I trusted the IH measurements rather than SE.

                            Evo after 3 months of almost daily use. Unfortunately it's getting too cold for it now.

                                  Cool that there is a restock. It's still my daily worn jacket and I love it. It's amazing how warm it makers you feel if layered with something warm underneath. It's so windproiof and keeps in the warmth that it feels pretty much as warm as my winter jackets.

                                  However I'm curious how it will age as some spots Show a lot of Brown peaking through. Are there any examples of really worn in models or the same leather?

                                        Goddamn these are beautiful jackets. Looking great guys. I’m pretty sure I want one, but I don’t think I want it in black (or turquoise or red, before anyone brings them up). A tobacco brown though…

                                          You should definitely see them in person. The black is awesome and IMO perfect for this style.

                                            @neph93 it's tea core so the brown is there already  😉

                                            And I agree with @Max Power  about how warm this jacket is. I too wear it every day and I love it. It's like second (thick and warm) skin.
