      Two? Nah. Once you can’t count them all on one hand, then you have a (very good) problem.

        Thanks Reuben! I could go for a black one and the olive version too but I fear I may be too big for the olive in the chest.

            It's always nice to have options! Plenty of denim in The Wire…

                Hi!

                When do you expect to have inventory if XS in these? @Giles

                Thanks!

                    The production order was submitted in mid-September, but we are still waiting for the first update from our Japanese counterparts. We asked for a full production order update this week, hopefully, we know more ETDs next week.

                      I live in South Florida, is the 21oz much warmer than the 14oz?  We don’t get many cold days here 😞

                        In general people say the 21oz actually performs better in warm climates, as while it is heavier than 14oz, the weave is much looser allowing air circulation.

                          Interesting… Anyone else in warmer weather to comment?

                            It is definitely true that the 21oz denim breathes better than the 14oz denim.  I think though, that this is more apparent in jeans than jackets, there is something about the heft of a Type III made out of 21oz that makes you feel hot, I think it's physiological, but still…..

                              Wonder if it might be that humans dissipates more heat from the upper body than through the legs, that a jacket made of the same material might feel warmer than jeans?  Could also be the construction and design of the Type III.

                                Well we’ll soon find out… Ordered the 526Pj and it’ll be here on Wednesday according to UPS... Low on wed will be 70f (21c) when it arrives so I’ll keep you guys posted!

                                Also pre-ordered a 15oz Cone Mills from Brave Star that should be here towards the end of the month so I’ll do a comparison... Hopefully I’ll have the best of American and Japanese denim and manufacture.

                                BTW spectacular service from Adam... I can see why so many love you guys besides having a great product! Unfortunately I can’t say the same about Brave Star, although I understand they’re understaffed, haven’t been able to reach them for more than a week as they don’t pick up the phone, haven’t responded to VM and to a few emails with some questions pre and post ordering... But I’m sure the product will be great from what I’ve heard... either way I’m stuck with it as no cancellation on pre-orders and returns only for size exchange from what I read [emoji2371]

                                Will keep you guys posted on Wednesday when this beast arrives [emoji38]

                                  Oddly enough this happens to me with my feet as well… If I’m too warm I take socks off and I cool down and vice versa haha

                                    Ha! Same here, except I stick my feet out of the duvet when I sleep at night  😃

                                    I hope it works out for you with the 14oz jacket!  I'm personally starting to like the lighter denim from Iron Heart more and more, perhaps more than 21oz!

                                      Thanks! Actually I ordered the 21oz as they were out of the 14oz in my size.

                                      If you don’t mind, what about the lighter denim are you liking more?

                                        Thanks @Giles… Looking forward to update on re-stocking of the XS in case the 21oz I ordered is too much to handle!

                                        Additionally, how does it age compared to the 21oz, and the 19oz for that matter (strength, drape, shrinkage if any, etc)?
                                        Just getting into this denim world and learning that weight isn’t everything from reading this forum and description of your jackets hehe

                                        Thanks!!!

                                          The 21oz becomes very, very soft and drapes beautifully. It will mould to your body well. Fading is slow to happen with this denim, however it is a rewarding process. The indigo becomes bruised at first, before fading gently. Eventually it shows the white and the general fading is a sight to behold. High contrast fades are not normal.

                                          I don't have any 14oz so can't really help there.

                                            Thanks! Your reply helps a lot as I was a bit concerned about the thickness… The nice fading is the cream on top as that’s not my main concern but it’s definitely a!+... I did see Giles’ first 21oz on insta and it looks amazing:
