Looks like the best measurements for an IH Jacket for me so far,but I’m waiting/hoping for the corduroy jacket also in black,and can’t get both. There are 3 in my size. Are retailers getting these? Best case scenario is the corduroy jacket fits me and I’m a happy camper,worst case-I miss out on this and the corduroy jacket doesn’t measure up as good.

@Jett129 most awesome scenario: Measurements work on both, you think "screw it" buy one of each and you're set for jackets for a while

I wish it was that easy. While there are a few companies that make really cool high end denim, no one, in my opinion, has ever done corduroy like IH. This is based on my IH-161 corduroy western shirt,which blows my mind every time I wear it. Definitely regret missing out on the jeans when they were available, but that was early on in my IH adventure,when I didn’t realize that ,like dinosaurs,IH items become extinct. I also have a really cool vintage black Levi’s trucker that I still wear.

Fit pics of that please! 

I get it. Those corduroy truckers are very exciting indeed and probably won't come around again for a while.

Here you go.

Jacket looks good on you @Jett129

Copped one today courtesy of the guys at Rivet and Hide. Damn good fit straight off the hanger. Hopefully I'll get a few fit pics this weekend

Well, I've not done this for a while… I saw the email, I logged on to the site, I checked the relevant measurements (which for me boil down to shoulder width and sleeve length) and I ordered. Then I remembered I hadn't checked my bank account beforehand. Then I remembered about the bloody 4 day weekend...

However it all came good earlier today:

There will be more (not necessarily better) photos in the relevant threads on Thursday. For now a few quick impressions. I've always liked type IIIs, but I always felt the lack of pockets in the British climate. I also really like the Superblack denim. So this was perfect. Having worn it for all of 40 minutes it is my new favourite jacket. It fits how I want it to and I can still access my back pockets easily. As is always the case another really good jacket from Iron Heart - how's that for a ringing endorsement eh?

Fake edit: I just previewed the post, I say this with no false modesty - the photo is up there with some of my best. I blame my trusty iPhone 4 and the lighting at work…  ::)

Hey, @Morose_Penguin, welcome back! Bad pics are better than no pics. Enjoy the jacket.

[Morose_Penguin]

Thanks, I'm really liking it so far. One button is quite stiff at the moment, but the rest are fine. Speaking of photos…

There were many more taken, but once I saw them - well these are the current 'best" of an extremely suspect bunch.

I love this jacket… wore it for the first time on stage last weekend. The guitar is the 'Teuffel Niwa'...

[Jordonf9]

Nice @theshigster !

What guitar is that…and pickups? I never seen one before....

Was going to be a daring "outdoor and actually in public" series of WAYWT photos, but the surface wasn't level and the wind was too strong - so this is what we're left with.
