RESTOCK

Due to a small mistake by myself the restock emails for these went out a few hours early, so we've decided to get them online a bit early

This may be a dumb question, but is this the same fabric the outer shell of the N1 (non-oiled) jackets are made from?

I have a N1, and it is the perfect winter/snow jacket (I use it while plowing snow on my 4 wheeler).

@VegaS10 It is the same material, but it is a rather lightweight jacket.

Can anyone advise on size for this, in IH shirts im nearly always a xxl. So about 47/ 48 chest, and 19.5( to 19.8) shoulders is my perfect size. This jacket seems to have a large shoulder to chest ratio.

[tody]

@Blueband Go by chest measurement and keep an eye on the arm length. I‘m an XXL guy in shirts, but sized one up and still can wear only a tee under it - it‘s cut that slim.

[Blueband]

@tody Thanks for the advice, it's not so much the sleeves I'm worried about, rather it's loose shoulders. I guess this fit isn't my body type.
Cheers.

I definitely second the 'slim cut' on this one. It is very slim.

My other IH jacket (IHJ-124-BRN) and all shirts (IHSH-328-GRN, HSH-330-BLK, IHSH-288-IND) are size L, and they are all generously-sized for my frame. I even tracked down another Type 3 modified in a store (IHJ-121-IND) and size L was the right size. The chest (P2P) measurements for the green IH-526-ODG are narrower, but I thought it would be ok.

But when the IH-526-ODG arrived, it was fine everywhere, except across the chest. Noticeably tight, to the point that when I puffed up my somewhat puny chest, the front was pulling the buttons apart.

Other than that, it's such a lovely jacket. I just printed the return label... Sigh.

XL is not available from IHUK, but I tracked one down through Garmentory, shipped from Brooklyn Clothing in Canada. The dumb things we do for Iron Heart: a Japanese jacked, bought from Canada, shipped to Australia via the US

[fadedandcrumpled]

I just received size XL after retuning L (my usual IH size) and it is the perfect fit. I'm 185cm, 73kg. Sleeve length or shoulder width are not an issue.

Advice for future buyers:

1. This jacket is on the slim side, even compared with other IH Type 3 jackets, especially in the chest (P2P) area.
2. Have a close look at the measurement chart.
3. Consider going 1 size up from your usual IH sizing (which is likely already 1 size up from typical western sizing).

any plans for a restock of this one any time soonish?

[JoshC]

@Marz, I'm afraid we have no plans soon. However, we will be doing them again in the future as they are a continuous product, we just don't have a timeframe at the moment. If you haven't, I would highly recommend signing up for the restock notification on the website product page by clicking the size you would like and entering your email in the box below the sizing list, as well as keeping an eye on this forum page for any updates, if there is anything else don't hesitate to get in touch.

Sizing chart can now be found in the first post.

Please be aware you may not be able to view the product’s website page leading up to launch, as it will be briefly offline whilst we prepare for the restock at 1600 GMT on Thursday 12th December

[bluemantra]

will this fade with wear and washing?

[AdamJ]

@bluemantra not really, whipcord does not give up its colour in the same way denim does

@Nick FFS, is there anything that he doesn’t look good in? Keep this up and you won’t need pictures of us attempting to look good in the product threads.

I did say to Courtney yesterday, 'stop making it look so effortless' but then remembered that's literally his job.

He says 'hi' by the way, to everyone on here. He appreciates the kind words.
