IH-9526PJ - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Modified Type III - Superblack

[bunger]

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 First thing I need to know is what jacket you tried on so that I can look up the product for sizing reference.

Can you tell me which version you tried on?

The 21 oz modified type 3 in indigo

[goosehd]

@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

Anyone have pics of this jacket after a few years or so? Really curious as to how these age

@ercymmt just saw your post with a years wear. Any chance you have pics of what it looks like now?

[akohut]

@AdamJ are these still on schedule for restock this month?

[goosehd]

@akohut The poster you mentioned hasn’t been on the forum since 2022.

@akohut the last we heard they were due this month, but the chances of them arriving in Japan, then making it to us, and being online in the next 8 days are slim

[akohut]

@goosehd yeah figured it was a long shot. however found some good images of a worn johnny cash shirt that looks very nice

@Alex thanks for the quick reply. just to clarify, these are confirmed to be returning though, even if it isn't this month?

[Alex]

@akohut yes

[akohut]

Any ETA on this?

[AdamJ]

@akohut It was due soon, but there's been an issue with the fabric so we'll let you know when we hear more

[Notchas]

AJ, any update on these

[AdamJ]

@Notchas No update since the above I'm afraid, issue with the fabric suggests it won't be soon. I will update when I hear more

[pfw821]

Don’t suppose there’s been an update here? I believe the SBG version of this jacket is dropping soon yeah?

[goosehd]

[Graham]

No word yet I’m afraid.

As soon as JP send an email saying that they are ready we’ll start shouting about it here.

[pfw821]

Obvious differences in fading aside, how does this jacket/denim compare to the SBG? Is it stiffer and heavier feeling?

[Graham]

Equally heavy but the 9526 is noticeably stiffer and the sbg noticeably softer.
