Iron Heart Split Steer Modified Type III Jacket - Black just purchased this jacket went out last night and I noticed in the morning I was getting alot of tanning transfer on to my shirt, is there anything I can do to stop this or do I just wear dark tops for a while until this stops.any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thinking about getting this one while sale is up. From the size chart I should go down from my usual western size XXL, but would I be able to wear it with for example my 295bb or 14oz sweater?
And how is it in the cold, does it keep warm? Because I would want to wear it as much as possible when I spend that money...
-
I'll let someine else answer the sizing question, but it is a very warm jacket. Perhaps not in the N1 league, but very warm nonetheless...

@FlavourFade hey brother. I took mine in my normal size Large. It’s a really easy wearing cut. It wears super comfortable over a UHF with lots of mobility. It’s one of my favorite features of the jacket, how easy it is to throw over and layer without restricting movement. I’d think it would be just as easy over the 295.
-
@Mizmazzle thanks a bunch! How do you feel about wearing it in the colder months? I mean it's clearly no light summer jacket
-
@FlavourFade it’s a heavy jacket. Really warm especially when layered. But pretty versatile too. Like I wore it in the spring time with just a tee when it was warming up outside and it was great. But in the coldest days layers will be key.
-
@Mizmazzle Sounds great. Just have to figure out how to deal with the sleeves, they are about 2 inches too long for me...
-
@FlavourFade yup! Sleeves are long. I had mine shortened. Super easy for a furrier to do. Came out great. Looks good as new! Fit is perfect now.

I've thought about this Type lll Jacket in the Black Split Steer back and forward since Early Summer trying to make up my mind between it and the 19oz Left Hand Twill OD Denim Type lll ( when also still in stock), to complement my 14oz OD Type lll.
When I've finally realised that I live in Scotland and and that we only really get on average 5 days a year which are dry enough to consider wearing the Steer in comfort ( based on this year), with 3 of these possibly being too hot, leaving a grand total of 2 probable days to wear the Steer, and therefore make the decision that a 19oz OD Type lll would be a much better choice, there all gone.
So it looks that I'm on about a 9 Months wait then to snag an XL 19oz OD.
You live and learn.

@M800sct1 but, man, you could live off the memories of those two glorious days the rest of the year….
-
Worth thinking about then.
Maybe get some wear and Patina after 20 years or so. -
@M800sct1 To be fair, I got caught out in my split steer a few years back in torrential rain and it got fully soaked clean through and it was no worse for wear after drying out again, while it certainly isn't a rain coat it doesn't really need babying either..on the days it's cold but dry this is the king of Type IIIs in my book
