IHSW-29 - 14oz Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel Collarless Zip Up Sweater - Black

[cityofdelusion]

I saw that the Japanese version of the IHSW-29 has a two-way zipper. The same is stated for this one, the IHUK version, but the photos suggest otherwise. This version doesn't have a two-way zipper, does it?

Also how much of a stretch could/ should I expect after multiple wears and where should I expect them?

Good spot, looks like this was added on the new production run and not spotted when we restocked them. the new run all have 2-way zippers.

Had some E-Mail exchanges with Ben who tried his best to find one of these that fits my measurements.

Unfortunately the measurements of this run are rather weird if I may say so myself. None of the tag sizes fit me.

Hopefully the next runs will be different - would've really liked to have one…

I'll X-post this here as well:

Since my last post, I was able to purchase an IHSW-29 and have been wearing it ever since. The IHSW-29 is one of my most used and functional pieces. Thus it'd be absolutely great if:

1. There were more collarless knits and sweats (e.g. other colours or fabrics such as wool).

2. There were a slightly lighter version of the IHSW-29 with the otherwise same properties. This way, I could also layer it over a wool pullover and under a cafe racer leather jacket.

(Also, this out of 100% wool would be a dream)

Is there any hope of a restock on this piece … asking for a friend

[Alex]

i think we will try to, but not going to happen in the immediate future

[Brandrea]

@Alex old topic but nevertheless… hoping for a re-stock!

[JoshC]

@Brandrea, I'm afraid nothing is on the immediate radar, my friend; if we are to do them again, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be closer to the Christmas period or early next year.

[Brandrea]

@JoshC PLEEEEASE make my Christmas wish come true

[JoshC]

@Brandrea ill see what Iron Klaus can sort out

[goosehd]

@JoshC Please tell him I've been good (for the most part) this year and to fill my stockings

Just adding to this old thread with an update … thanks to @cityofdelusion i landed one in XXL from the buyee.jp auction site. Excuse the dirty mirror, the shop needs a cleaning.

Couldn’t be any happier. Thanks again my man, appreciate you reaching out to give me the heads up!

[cityofdelusion]

If anyone deserves the possibly one and only size XXL IHSW-29 in the world, it's definitely you. Wear in health, it looks great on you!

@Brandrea great score!

[Brandrea]

@tody Thanks brother, I’m super stoked!

[cityofdelusion]

One of my most used IH piece to this day. Found another one - maybe the last on earth? - in the same exact size, almost totally new. Bought it immediately.

And it gets even better: The one I originally bought a few years ago (right) had only one zipper. The newly purchased one (left) comes with a two-way zipper. I don't usually buy the same thing twice when it comes to IH, but this one deserves to be used both at home and at work.

@cityofdelusion If it‘s got a different zipper, technically it is not the same thing

[Brandrea]

@cityofdelusion that’s fantastic, great score! The two way zipper is a great feature, so now you have the best of both worlds.

I’d actually buy another xxl if I could find one (just to have back up). I wear this piece the most of any Iron Heart I own. I’m surprised it doesn’t get more air time here.
