@duckmuck This would be the correct thread for your question, and I'm guessing that the unmodified version won't make a comeback. I found mine used:

very much a beginner with this kind of clothing. somewhat old, stiff hands, but not weak....I simply cannot do the buttons. I unbuttoned them, but trying to button them again while wearing this - i simply can't do it. Is there some kind of trick that i'm missing? Frustrating because i love the way the jacket looks.
-
@sabergirl Nice idea, but the material doesn't seem to stretch when i do that. not getting anywhere.

@Nelson-Baboon use some pliers and pull and stretch a few times. Also buttoning and undo them without wearing the jacket seems to help for my xhs for example. Don’t give up. No pain no gain

@Nelson-Baboon Ahh, the joys of the 21oz superblack. That is one of the most stubborn denims IH puts out. Only patience is your friend here.

Hey guys,
I have a question about sizing on this jacket... I have tried on a XXL in the indigo version at a local shop, fit great. Looks like the sizing guide says that the super black has shorter arms by a decent amount, but all other measurements are comparable in the same size. Is there something different about the way the superblack fits? why does iron heart make this jacket with noticeably shorter sleeves than the indigo? I have quite long arms. I'm nervous about ordering up a size in case the rest of it becomes too boxy. Thanks

@bunger The posted product listing for the IH-9526PJ’s sleeve length is 26.6 inches.
The 21 oz modified type 3 indigo’s posted sleeve length is 27.2 inches.
The difference between them is approx. 1/2 inch which may be due to the variability between production runs, factory making them, etc. It’s not a planned change and I would say fairly normal.
You will also find variances in the same run and same jacket size in the sleeve length. Maybe not 1/2 inch, but there will be some.
If you have a desired sleeve length, are buying it from IHUK, then the solution is to post a request in the comments section of the sales check out specifically asking for your desired sleeve length.
Another option is to email the guys at IHUK: shop@ironheart.co.uk beforehand asking if they have any of your desired jacket’s dimensions in stock. They will see what they have and get back to you and make sure that you get what you are happy with.
I’ve done this many times in the past and the guys are always extremely helpful. It’s one of the main reasons why IHUK has so many repeat customers.
Hope this information helps.

@goosehd that’s great. I’m just waiting for this jacket to come back in stock and will request them to look to the stack for one with longer sleeves. Awesome. Thank you
