IHJ-12-BLK - Black Fleece Lined Cordura Windbreaker
-
A quick search confirmed my initial thoughts:
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/search?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=cordura+windbreakerBut I don't know the history of extinct items… unless they're all displayed there already. In that case... there's a pattern

Could it be because it doesn't have the Iron Heart logo/ print on it? I personally don't like it and prefer both my outerwear and knits and sweats to be plain. I do love the W on almost everything though.
PS: Looks like this is the first cordura windbreaker without the print on it?
The Ihj-06 had no print, but that cordura was another thing entirely, it’s still hard to move my arms lol.
And I’ve been a critic of the print since it started. It’s a hard no for me too. There were several awesome colorways that I couldn’t buy because of it. But that “W” is wonderful branding, very appropriate.
Having worn my ihj-06 for eight years and having two ihj-60’s (the denim version of this essentially), I can say these are an essential piece of IH outerwear.

Put on an IHT, an IHSW and this IHJ and you’re good in almost any weather

Someone awesome has just pimped one of these with Good Art 17mm Rosette Snaps you can see it on the Snap Upgrade thread

One of the many things that appeal to me about Iron Heart is the mostly logo-free clothing. I automatically steer away from most IH wear with big prints/logos, so I would agree with you that's why earlier iterations of this jacket sold poorly?
Though this jacket looks amazing, I have too many black technical jackets now
-
OK. I'll talk about logo's again. We are a Japanese brand, in Japan logo's are desirable, and in fact most of Asia too….
So that is why much of our stuff comes with Logos. The Japanese version of this jacket is still logo'd.
Iron Heart International has grown over the years and our volumes are sufficient for me to give IHJP and the factories the added aggro of doing a printed and non-printed version of some items.
And sometimes, I just can't be bothered to give H the aggro.
And at the end of the day, if you don't like it you don't have to buy it.

I completely understand Giles, I was just adding to the theory as why this type of jacket might not have sold well in the past. I'm happy that Iron Heart is growing and reaching out to more people, it's a win-win all the way around for everyone that loves the brand!
-
Yea I knew we were walking a thin line. Had no intention of beating the dead shrubbery again. I just added to the banter to contrast those past iterations with this particular jacket in hopes of hyping it up so people realize how ideal this variant is amongst the lineage of IH ‘breakers. I’m not much of a hype man obviously lol
-
Damn this went quick. Great looking jacket, hope H decides to run them again some time.
-
That seems like a pretty safe bet…

I was having second thoughts at last minute thinking am not gonna buy it.
But the damage was done when @Graham model it look like a true player of awesome..
Ran to a corner to get good reception on my phone nab a large I knew these would sell fast.I had the logo version of this my son wears it, I rather have no logo like Graham said looks cleaner.
GAH is the soul of Iron Heart got to pimp.I would overrate this and advantage of this.
The reason you can’t wear a leather jacket in the rains or Jeans jacket..
Going to the gym works best and blend in with sport wear.
Am always out in the evening looking after my dad so it a quick grab and go.
Can be worn many ways in summer and winter..Under a vest
Hoody can be worn under and shirt too along with a t-shirtYeah I know someone awesome sound goods
cheers buddy…. but the name kasi is the inspiration which is charm of my life the day, my son was born... really name Qasim. Nickname name him ever since I have good luck..Even Iron Heart came on board... love it ever since.
Good people on the forum... Once the covid crap is over Gosport party..
when it happen next on the list, am sure it be fun.Big shout out to @Giles the main man bringing all this in 2020 hard times like still carry on.
Maybe this might be the last thing of 2020 I buy.
Bring on 2021 I am still here, need more Iron Heart
Big thanks to all the Iron Heart Crew
My dear @Madame Buttonfly the first person I spoken to on the phone in 2014 on Saturday that where it all
started from. -
@Kasi your eloquence speaks volumes,
Giles..Madame Buttonfly…the Iron Heart Crew---
What Kasi has said is a huge love proof...and a such a nice show of respect, he really has nailed it.@Graham was my first contact with IH and he has never let me down.
Kasi has taken pimping with GAH along with the combination of Japanese_Los Angeles sensibilities to another level.@Giles –thanks for having the balls to reach out to H in the first place.
Without that initial move--who would have known? -
Top of my 2020 list. Didn't get a notification, but thankfully my mate gave me a heads up so I pounced on an XL. Measured a couple of other similar type jackets, so I have everything crossed that this works for me.
Shame that I won't be able to wear it out and about when Essex goes into tier 3. Iguess the locals better get even more used to seeing a IH clad beardy weirdy wandering the streets just so I get to wear multiple layers everyday.
Can't wait to see some pics in the wild folks!

@Giles re branding on clothing. I usually avoid like the plague, BUT, I really believe that Iron Heart is a brand name that works well on a number of levels, it doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't, and the style of logos that you guys choose to print when you do stick them on anything are immaculate. The only design ever that didn't speak to my own sensibilities was the 'hard as duck' logo, but that's just me. I'd say that's a pretty good hit rate though
