Doing a real nice job with that jacket @AdamJ

Gawl Dang!!! @AdamJ this jacket is so bad ass!! Wondering if y’all know, for the next release of this OD fabric, will it be a different recipe for how they do the dying? I know there has been some discussion on changing it or possibly getting rid of it forever.

@Mizmazzle @dinobarnesberlin thanks guys, no changes to this particular jacket as far as I'm aware

@AdamJ Having been set on the IH-526L as my next purchase, having seen your pics, I may decide on the OD. Decisions, decisions.

[Daniel San]

definitely need one of those

Looks great mate Great pictures

Super happy with this, thanks @royc
XL feels tailor made for me, and it seems to have a little stretch too.

Beautiful stuff.

Real happy with the fit on this one, fingers sore from the stiff button holes though!

[Jcaz6996]

Looks great @T4920 told you you’re going to love it . That was the first Type lll I bought.

[T4920]

@Jcaz6996 My first too! I love the velvet-esque feel (assumedly caused by the ODing), does this become less noticeable with wear and washes?

@T4920 looks good mate!

Hey @AdamJ I was trying to access the world tour link on this Lefty OD and it says its not available. Any chance this makes it back to accessibility? I need to drool some more over this jacket.

[AdamJ]

@Mizmazzle Yes you can access it here: link to the goodness

The old forum had different URL formats so some old inline links referencing old posts might be dead. I will pin the world tour link to the top post too

I've been sleeping in this beauty to soften it up since receiving it on Monday. Taking cues from the @Oaktavia & Filthy school of denim taming.

It's working like a charm

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 I can’t wait to join the lefty OD club. Is it everything you hoped It would be?

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle I bought it with zero expectations as I've never owned any 19oz LHT/OD Iron Heart garments, but after 5 days I can safely say I've never had a more comfortable or betting fitting jacket. The velvet-esque feel of it is my favourite thing though, and is only getting nicer by the day.

[Mizmazzle]

Sounds like a thing of beauty!!

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 hell yeah man I sleep in my wabby CPO every night.

[Lowlander]

@Oaktavia @T4920 I'm intrigued by this sleeping in your Iron Hearts. Do you do it to soften up the fabric? Or to speed up the fades (or both?). And do you get blue sheets?

I would try but my bed partner won't let me.

[T4920]

@Lowlander It's not something I'd do obsessively, but at the moment it's rather cold here in the UK and as of late, heating our homes has becoming stupidly expensive.

Figured that by sleeping in this jacket I could save a little money on heating, soften it up, and potentially kick start some fades, so it seemed like a good idea!

I certainly won't be doing it when winter is over though, that's for the true devotees and denim Magi like @Oaktavia

I'm also single, so there's no one here to judge my idiosyncratic behaviour.
