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

[Jett129]

Any one of these jackets will,obviously, give you more protection than nothing,but maybe the 22OZ jacket would give slightly more road rash protection. If you're an All The Gear All The Time type person,then you might consider which one would be most comfortable to wear all the time.

@chris_w:

Seems like the weight of the denim alone is not necessarily the determining factor as with the 526Lod where the weave and dye process apparently make that  technically lighter 19 oz jacket the most durable Type III denim jacket.
Any suggestions on which of these two is ‘tougher’ would be greatly appreciated.

Fun question, and well observed regarding weight and weave. That being said, coming off your deck and getting violently aquainted with asphalt, is going to be made easier by thick, heavy denim whether it is 19, 21 or 22oz.

The 9526 is super tough, but stiff af, while the 22oz is perhaps 1% less tough, but much more comfortable. So either would work, but the 22oz may have an edge. On the other hand the superblack denim looks super evil and rad.

Now I want one

Thanks to all of you for your answers and suggestions. It helped me decide but when I tried to pick my size in the 21oz Superblack it was sold out. Then I tried the 22oz overdye and it was also sold out. Oh well. One day. Thanks again!

@sabergirl @chris_w it's actually the IH-9527J restocking which is the Rider's Jacket, not the Type III. Apologies for the confusion!

Was able to score one of these on another website. Cannot wait for it to come in. It’s going to be my new riding jacket. It’ll be my first denim jacket from Iron Heart

[tody]

I have the predecessor to it, the non-pocket version. It's a hell of a sturdy jacket!

[Choko]

It’s here! Fits like a GLOVE. Couldn’t ask for a better fit. I was worried that a 3XL would be too big but I wanted to be able to wear it over a UHF. Even with just a tshirt it’s just right. Sleeves are the perfect length for riding too 

[tody]

Looking great! So the question is - can you fully button it up or do you break your fingers in the process? 

[Choko]

@tody lol yeah that’s a pain in the ass. Took me 10 minutes

RESTOCKING AT 1600GMT ON FRIDAY 20TH JANUARY

@chris_w if you're still wanting one of these, you didnt have to wait too long

[JoshC]

The sizing chart is updated on page one. There's a slight change in the length and waist this year as they are slightly smaller than the last release.

RESTOCK

[Mindfulbiscuit]

I tried one in a large size I would say I’m between sizes but the large being more comfortable boy did I love this one

@Mindfulbiscuit looks good with that madras shirt man!

@Heavy_blue thanks the 21oz is a bit heavy for me this time of year but go September I’m definitely considering

[duckmuck]

Any word if the unmodified version of this jacket will ever be back in stock? I had one and it was damaged in a fire, now I am looking to replace it. Not sure how I feel about those pockets.

[tody]

@duckmuck This would be the correct thread for your question, and I'm guessing that the unmodified version won't make a comeback. I found mine used:
