IHJ-110-OLV - 12oz Moleskin Modified Type III Jacket - Olive
-
@Paul9221 The Moleskin from IH is very high quality. It has an incomparable heftiness to softness ratio that no other fabric I own compares to.
It molds to your body after many wears, but not so much that it loses its rigidity. It also forms its own unique patina that is like no other fabric.
Regarding warmth, I agree with Ann that it is warm, but I wouldn't worry about it being too warm in your coastal climate.
Lastly, I would say that wearing the moleskin type III over a tee would be hella comfortable much sooner than a denim version of the same make.
If I remember, I'll wear my black cpo tomorrow and add some closeup pics that may be a help.
@Brock anything to add about your navy CPO? have you been getting it into rotation?

My commission is happy fellow Iron Heart wearers. That’s good enough for me.

I’ll add one more thing which shouldn’t be a problem with the jacket anyhow.
The moleskin CPO I have doesn’t roll up at the back like my Wabash, serge, and denim (to a lessor extent) shirts do. The way the moleskin is sheared seems to eliminate that from happening.

That happens to me on just about all denim and wabash shirts, but never with a type III. Still, that's good to know.
Thanks, Jeff!

Wondering about the sizing…will these be posted?

Good point good point! I forgot there are other stockists
there is hope yet, thank you
No luck so far, but looks like a lot of stores haven't listed it yet either. I've been watching for this one like a hawk, looks like volume was quite small for this release or it sold really fast. Caught me sleeping on this one, literally, with southern hemisphere timezone it was released overnight for me
