That jacket looks awesome on you,wish the measurements had worked out for me,as I wore Lee jean jackets as a kid. You made a great choice.

@Indigohuntsman, great to see this thread getting revived with a new wearer.  The 101 is my favourite IH jacket and yours too should look like this after a year if you wear it a lot…

That is looking really great…..

Hello and thank you wdw.

Your 101J looks amazing, with the shirt you are wearing.
Especially against those turquoise blue buttons.
I'm sure I'll get there, slowly  but surely

@Dion:

I'm curious whether these are going to be rerun or no chance and the 18 oz raw denim is going to be retired completely?

Yea or nay on this?

[Giles]

We are out of the "old" 18oz denim, so if we ever decide to rerun a 101, it will be made out of a different denim…

[Matty123]

Please do Another run of these. Thanks!

There’s a great “Vintage” 18oz denim that comes to mind…

It's being used on the upcoming Storm Rider if I remember correctly.

Here is my 101J. My beer belly makes it a tad tight to button the last two, but aside from that, I'm stoked for the fades to come. Does anyone else have an issue with buttoning? Do you just wear it unbuttoned most of the time? Or other jackets with that issue?
I plan to wear it to work indoors as often as I can.

I'm also wearing my 555XHSIB in the first several photos. Digging the combo Iron Heart Canadian Tux. What do you all think? This is my first forum post.

@Oaktavia I think that is pretty spectacular mate. Love the 70’s vibe and who needs to do the last two buttons up anyway?

Very cool first post. Thank you!

Cool, thanks dude! Just the encouragement I needed. All about the 70s haha and the hair keeps growi'.

That looks great! My 101J was challenging to button when new, but the holes got looser eventually and now it’s much easier to button and unbutton (one-handed!), even when my jacket is layered and thus tight. As for fading, you’re going to need a degree of patience—I found this one takes a while to be beaten into shape!

Mine, after a month of wear.

I have a type III vest made out of the same denim as this. It is also bonded to a red felt lining so even thicker and stiffer. It took a lot more than a month to soften it up. The evo you get along the way is worth it though.
