Samples - New Products We Are Working On

On the cinch, typically I prefer them with cinches, and the T2 will defs have one. On the T1, the denim gives a more modern look I feel, so may lend itself to a cinchless version, but I am undecided

[flannel slut]

cinch FTW

[Twistlock]

Cinch or not, that T1 is a no brainer for me.

[Oaktavia]

@Alex seems T1 would be simpler without a cinch. T2 definitely though. I will be getting both for sure.

[Daniel San]

What exactly is meant with cinch ?

[tody]

@Daniel-San The adjustable strap thingies on the side.

[Jett129]

@Daniel-San It’s the little cinch belt that was used on the back of vintage Levis jackets.

[steelworker]

How many IH TypeII s is too many?

[Daniel San]

@tody I think @Jett129 is right
There once was a Iron Heart Type 2 that had this cinch on the back , like vests have .
Glad I have one without , definitely don’t like it

[Jett129]

@Daniel-San If you Google Levis Type 1 Cinch back you can see what it looks like.

[Hematoma]

i feel like you don't need a cinch on both the type I and II, but I'm just a random schmuck so what do I know. I guess it depends which crowd will buy regardless - the anti-cinchers or pro-cinchers? This has probably been debated to death. I like my double black type II without one though.

[matt_rost]

I would definitely like to buy a type 1 or 2. But with cinch would be more of a deal breaker for me. Both jackets are modern interpretations of a classic design... just my opinion.

@Alex - is the 19oz in CPO getting its own dedicated thread like the type 1 and 2? If so, will we see how that sample develops over time?

[Alex]

It will do once an owner has been decided, but the denim is not new. You can see how it ages here:

@Alex - thanks. Useful.

@Alex
no need to look for one
here I am

All these type I and II’s are amazing! Also the OD flannels are killing! I’ve i may add one note. I would dig a type I with a cinch and back pleats. Repro but with the overengineerd quality from IH. Type 2 without a cinch but cut in the boxy version

This sample is in black deerskin, but we will make it from Elk for production

Elk leather…never handled one. Any info on how thick it is? We usually hear about 1.2 mm horsehide jackets.
