IHJ-86-BLK - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Black/Black
-
I've been wearing this for a couple weeks now. Initial impression is highly positive. I'm tall and lanky but broad shoulders (6'1" 170) and the XL fit is spot on. Can throw a hoodie underneath or just a t-shirt and it fits equally as well. Has a bit of a bespoke feel to be honest.
I gave it an initial quick hand wash with Bronner's hemp oil soap and a couple cold rinses before drip drying. New new black denim is always a lint trap. Once some of the starch and dye are out it smooths over nicely.
I know this jacket turns a few heads because in addition to the impeccable fit it is an inky heavy black. Like you disappear into the background ninja type of black. Who needs contrast stitching? I have become an actual shadow now.
Last but not least. POCKETS. I love my Riffblaster 101J but the lack of pockets eventually gets me. With this one, no such problem. I live in Minnesota, I need pockets for cold hands, keys, phone, etc. That interior pocket behind the side pocket lining is perfect for a phone.

Purchased this last week. A great black Type 3 which I can highly recommend. It’s such a great jacket and fit that it’s the best Iron Heart product I own.

Hello.
Anyone with a size XXXL find that the sleeves and shoulders a bit too long? Had anyone done a hot wash and found it helped with fitting?

Have a hard time figuring out my size in this. Have the 9526PJ and it’s indigo brother both in large - great fit with room for a heavy sweater underneath. The large in this one is a bit more narrow in the chest, but wouldn’t large work fine when I’m only gonna wear it with a tee? Feel like the medium will be top snug

What’s the difference in cm’s? I’m sure you’ll be fine. I used to stress about typeIII dims, but they are quite forgiving.
It’s 4 cm between the two in the chest - but I guess the 21 oz vs 14 oz might have something to say there?

I'm late to the party on this one but managed to find this in stock in L size at Rivet & Hide, most places seemed to be low on stock at this point. Anyways posting to share my fit and see what the experts think.
I was a little worried it was going to run a bit short in the chest. It's a little snug across the chest when buttoned, but the fabric is not too unforgiving and overall feels quite comfortable. I can still button up the jacket with a heavy flannel underneath and it's not uncomfortable, just enough room, and with a tshirt there's plenty of wiggle room. It seems like length to waist is about right (sits just below jeans waist line), and arm length is bang on (maybe a cm too long, but perfectly fine). Sizing up would have certainly meant the arms would be too long, so I reckon this fit is exactly right from the available sizes in this jacket.
Please excuse my pairing with cheap stretch jeans, I'm workin' on it
Also Ross from Rivet & Hide did me a solid and measured this before sending out, which confirmed it ran slightly bigger than their listed chest measurement and gave hope that I'd squeeze in. I've had great experience with R&H and IHUK so far, top work.
I think you can see it runs a little snug across the body / chest when buttoned up, though sizing up would probably be too big I reckon. Certainly too long in the arms. Probably better to be slightly snug than baggy. What do the denim sages think?

Thanks for the feedback, a Giles approved fit is a confidence boost I got it right
I can see why stock is low at most places, it's a very wishlist worthy piece. Not too heavy, not too light, the deep black with red works logo looks sick. I suspected it might be a while before a restock was possible so am glad I snapped this up. It's also cool to now have a point of reference in the type 3 for future colorways.
Will be interesting to see how the fades go, I foresee many years of satisfaction wearing this bad boy.

Just got this jacket in the mail Tuesday and I'm loving it! My first Iron Heart. Now I just need black jeans to complete the tux

Feel like I know the answer, but will this transfer dye very much to other things? Wanting to get a jacket for my fiancé but she is more worried than i am about dye transfer to her other clothes. Any feedback on how this would far on a white shirt...or dress...?

@Crease i don’t have any transfer at all from my bb stuff.
