@denim-dawg:

Will it get bigger after tough wear? Should I soak it?

As stated it will «relax» rather than stretch meaningfully. No need to soak.

Cheers! Appreciate the knowledge - you’re a real legend here! Soaking the jacket in wear. Already got amazing folds on the arms, and love how the parts that don’t get creased stay fresh and ‘stiff’.

…pulled the trigger on this one also. I was seriously looking at the IH-5265-22oz'er but I already have a heavy IH-9526PJ-Super Black, which I love, so this will be a nice summer Type 3!

...happy to have a black and an indigo type3.

…double twisted weft is what I'm talking about.

Question for the experts…I live in the US and ordered this Type III 14oz from SelfEdge. I love the character of the denim, the attention to detail and, most importantly, the fit. It is the nicest denim jacket in my closet. However, when I tried it on, I immediately noticed the following issue...

On the right cuff (top in the photo), the length of one side was trimmed longer than the other side so when the button is inserted into the button-hole, it causes the longer side to buckle up and twist at the button, making the cuff sit very strangely when it is closed.

I have never owned an Iron Heart jacket before, but I wanted some feedback and know what my options are. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hmmm… and it isn’t the same on both arms?

I never button my type III cuffs, so I wouldn’t know, but if the cuffs on each arm are different, then I would say it was a production fault and needs to be taken up with the retailer.

@SaddleSC I will PM you

My 526J-142 has the same thing on the cuffs/vents/whatever. The two arms are different. Never bothered me.

I've never owned a denim jacket in my life! So, I thought where better to start than Iron Heart! Managed to snag the last small at Rivet and Hide in Manchester. Totally blown away with it and can't wait for it to age beautifully! The fit is perfect. Thanks to Quentin for keeping it to one side for me until I could get to the store and the rest of the guys for being as amazing as ever! Also, came away with an Indigofera Copeland Moleskin Shirt which I will post a pic on that thread.
