@Nostradamion Please email the guys at the shop: shop@ironheart.co.uk
Think about where you live, how you’re going to wear it (layered over UHF’s or T-shirts), how often you’re going to wear it (Spring/Fall, 3 Season, year round), is this the only jacket you’re going to wear, how do you like to wear your clothing (loose, comfortable, of fitted)…
These are questions that only you can answer, but the information will help the guys in the shop help you.
I actually used the chat function earlier so I assume it gets forwarded to them given the time difference (I’m in the US).

@Nostradamion Great move and they’ll get back to you when they’re back in tomorrow morning.
For me, waking up to an IH email is always good (and bad). Bad in that that’s another pay cheque gone

This will be my first Iron Heart if all goes well. Just hope they still have them in the morning!!

@Nostradamion If you are 100% sure that this is the exact jacket you want…you can buy the XL (1 in stock) which will take it out of inventory. Tomorrow you can talk to the guys to ensure you’ve picked the right size or exchange it for one of the larges (5 in stock).
If you have your measurements, you can also say largest large chest, shoulders, longest arm, or whatever your limiting measurement may be.
Hope it helps!

@goosehd
Everything on the XL is spot on with the exception of the chest. My current best fitting jacket is a 44.5 inch chest whereas the Iron Heart XL is 45.6. All the other measurements are spot on though. Wondering if that extra inch is going to make it look too big. -
@Nostradamion The guys should be able to answer that question and I would hold off until you speak to them.
Just my honest opinion…
-
@goosehd
Ok, I’ll do that. If it’s meant to be, it will still be there waiting. -
@Nostradamion Full disclosure: I (and I would guess that most of us) were in the exact same shoes as you at one point in this denim journey.
I now own 5 type III jackets. I keep coming back because of the people and service that IH has provided to these type of questions.
I did my part on measuring and they were able to guide me in the right directions.
It pays off in the end and has saved me from countless mistakes.

Jacket ordered!! Thanks much to everyone here on the forum as well as IH customer service for their assistance. Really looking forward to receiving this and finally getting to have my own experience with Iron Heart.
Cheers!!
-
@Nostradamion Congratulations and let us know how you make out. Also love to see a fit pic when the time comes!
Enjoy
-
@goosehd For sure!! I’ll definitely let you know and will post pics once it’s here. I’m stoked!!

Jacket was delivered yesterday, and it’s awesome!! Glad I went with the XL; it fits perfect; the large would’ve been too small. Now the journey begins on trying to get some of those galactic fades I’ve seen on this model.

@Nostradamion Nailed the fit, congratulations!
-
agree! looking good
I forgot how dark this thing starts out, enjoy the journey @Nostradamion ! -
@pechelman Thanks much!! Yeah, it’s definitely dark. Really hoping I can do it justice in the fade department. Also have a UHF incoming which I’m really looking forward to.
-
@Nostradamion Good stuff and glad it worked out for you!
-
Quick question for you guys: is the BSP-14 the same jacket as this one? Just curious. Looks like it was a collab between Iron Heart and Self Edge.
