IH-101J-SR - 18oz Selvedge Denim Storm Rider Jacket - Indigo
-
Hello I managed to get one of these from ebay yesterday ( sold out in my size). I down sized and went with small I’m 5’11 70 kgs and a 38”chest.The stitching and build quality are brilliant the only thing is the denim feels very light for 18 oz it feels more like your 14 oz. This is not a gripe just something I noticed probably because I own the older 19oz lefty which feels like 30oz.

Good to see you (looking good [emoji6]).Yeah fabric weight is weird. So much depends on the fibres, the weave, and the hand. The 19oz is gnarly and feels at least as hefty as XHS, while the 18oz is quite beautiful but as you say feels relatively light. I’ve just scored the SLB denim at 16oz and the uneven hand makes it feel heavier than it is.

Thanks Rueben I’ve recently moved back down south where I was born so I’ m only an hour away from Iron Heart now but hoping this will be my last denim jacket.

I love my Stormrider, the denim feels nice and soft and the blanket lining adds a nice heft. Good looking fit @Gammaman
-
Yeah thanks @Joberwocky I'm pleased with mine and can't take it off.

…a little Storm Rider love!
…I heard a statistic that this past winter, 1 in 3 days were below 0 fahrenheit...I wore this jacket through most of it.

The cat is purring. And let me wear my jacket.

Probably my last wear for the season

The season never ends @Anesthetist
Mines started to fade.

Just got one. My only regret is that it is now summer
-
I never ended up getting the L, would have been too small. Any eta on a restock?

Out of the blue I decided to hot soak my StormRider in hopes of snugging up the sleeve and shoulder. This jacket wet must weight 15lbs!
I thought it would take some time to dry given the lining and construction but the 102* heat index is taking care of that…
I’m still completely enamored with all the cool flecks in the lining. Beautiful stuff. -
…@Anesthetist how did it turn out?

It is still a hair damp but I popped it on to reset my creases. It feels good over a tee shirt, maybe a hair better.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take measurements before but I’ll try to get some tomorrow.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking good,but so is that bottle of Jefferson's Ocean,that I couldn't help but notice. Judging by how much is left I'm guessing you like it. I think that some of their other bourbon that doesn't go on a boat is just as good/maybe better and less money,but I was very happy to get a bottle this year at Christmas.
