      @T4920 Thank you. The measurements are almost identical between the two so it's probably a safe bet to take. The challenge is, not many retailers or items available so I don't know if I should buy this one now to snag the size. If it sells, it doesn't look like anyone else has one in this size, especially in my country.

        @jdixon1974 remember it is a continuous production piece, so will eventually return in all sizes (might take some time though)

        Maybe take some time to enjoy/break in your Horsehide, and hopefully your local retailer will eventually get it in so you can try it on in person.

          @jdixon1974 that is exactly how it works. They are two different styles but add the shoulder to the arm length and it ends up about the same place on the wrist.

            Hi, I'm by no means an IH expert, but I have a deep admiration for the brand. I was wondering what you think is the quintessential IH garment is. What would you recommend to a new Iron Heart buyer, and consider a good representation of what IH is all about?

            I would think it would be their heavy weight denim (21-25oz) and their Ultra Heavy Flannels.

            What are you thoughts?

              @stichdown-shell 21 oz. 634’s would be at the top of my list.

                  For me i would say there lefty type iii jacket. It’s really something if never seen before. When i first wore and felt it it was a new experience in denim. Same goes for there xhs and for me especially there xhsib denim. How it fades and feels. But beside there garments i think this forum should be in my top 3 as well!

                    @stichdown-shell agree with that, I love my 21oz indigo and 21oz SBG.. I would probably say the N1 deck jacket too, that seems to be a lot of people gateway item into the brand

                            @Heavy_blue ah!! Good one Jeffery. I haven’t tried UHR yet, but it’s probably next on my jeans list.

                              @Mizmazzle yeah! It’s a very nice denim and the fades are pretty cool. Since i lost some weight they’re on my waiting list as well.

                                Are there any plans for the 19oz ib of the ihsh-409 to eventually come in jeans?

                                  @pechelman they have been and gone, didnt do well (like the 21ib...) and so the run of the 409 is to try and use the last of the denim.

                                  I understand there are a few die hard IB fans on the forum, but that has not translated into sales and we have such limit3ed capacity for anything 19oz+ we have had to make some tough calls.

                                      @pechelman it's pretty frustrating for us too. It was my idea to try and normalise all cuts in all denims that we develop, rather than just doing one or two cuts in a denim. In general terms it was a good idea, but the added volume it creates in the factories means that 'less popular' denim is harder to justify.

                                      It doesnt mean that we wont remake it down the line, but we need to prioritise others for now.
