IH-9526PJ - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Modified Type III - Superblack

[vaquero357]

…Hey Tuefar! Neine! The wash didn't phase it! A beast to be sure. I just had the 'Storm Rider' delivered recently and that jacket is like wearing a litter of kittens compared to this baby!

...your jacket fit looks spot on my friend, wear the hell out of it! It's up to the task!

Thanks a lot @neph93 , @Plymouth58 & @vaquero357
Guess I’ll live in this suit of armor then ‍️ Ah, the troubles of only truly loving black denim jackets (heresy, I know)

Wearing mine every day for about two month now. It definitely softened up a lot. Its not really soft, it's true, it literally still stands on it's own (I just tried it out) but it's waaaay easier and more comfortable to wear then at the beginning. Did no wash no nothing.
Great jacket!!

Perhaps I'm asking in the wrong place but has IH ever made or planned to make a double black Type III which can fade or one that can both fade and has also been overdyed?  I'd imagine that a 14 oz version of would give some strong 'rockstar' vibes.

We have a 14oz black black type iii in the works…

There was a 526sbg—21oz black fades to gray.

The IH-526L-OD can fade and is overdyed.

…for curiosities sake I thought I would see which Type 3 out of all the Type 3's offered by IH in my size (XXXXL) had the shortest back measurement.

...it turns out that its this jacket. No wonder it's the one I purchased.   (Dec. pic)

…also it seems there's a separate and older thread for this jacket, is there a difference in the two? ???

Are you thinking about the IH-9526j ? In which case, I can explain… the original series of Iron Heart type III’s were the IH-526j (21oz indigo), the IH-9526j (21oz super black), and the IH-526j-OD (overdyed 21oz). They were all very traditional designs, short length. No side pockets.

They were made extinct about three years ago. The IH-526j and IH-9526j were replaced by similar jackets but with and inch or two more length and side pockets. The lot numbers were updated with a «P» for pocket in order to differentiate.

…aahh, that's it! P for pockets! Thanks neph93!

Hi all,

Has any owner of this superb jacket noticed any stretch over time? I think it looks great on me undone with a tee shirt (which is how i'd wear it 90% of the time) but it is a squeeze to get done up.

[neph93]

Type III’s should have a tight fit imho.

Getting meaningful stretch out of superblack 21oz is an unlikely result, I’m afraid.

[BulletPattern]

Many thanks for the reply neph93, much appreciated. Such a lovely jacket.

[vaquero357]

…found myself eyeballing the 22oz. Indigo Type3 pocketless monster and thought Id grab my 'super black' out of the closet to get a feel for sizing...man do I like this jacket and the side pockets are huge!:D

[RoxRocks86]

Looks great, dude! If the 22oz has similar measurements it’s a win!

[vaquero357]

…@RoxRocks86 thanks Rox! Gonna 'hang loose' on the 22oz for now but you know how that goes! Great to see you're out there lurking still!
