@RJScheuerle said in IHJ-140-IG - 19oz Selvedge Denim Type I Jacket - Indigo/Grey:

Just couldn’t let this one go. It. Is so wild compared to other iron heart jackets… a classic design made ultra wild with the dark stitching, cinch back, and copper buttons. Such a beauty with attention to retro and subtle modernity.

Yeah man this jacket is one of my absolute favorites. It wears well and fades with high contrast too. As you stated, ultra wild.

Wore this jacket to Iceland and Gosport and back to West Virginia. It's funny how I get so attached to certain garments, jackets in particular. I love denim a lot.

68 wears
2 washes

Woah boys. Just got my 140 IG in. Ever more insane in person as predicted. The sea of dark blue is filled with specks of electric blue. And yeah those copper buttons make the jacket. Also love rolling up my sleeves and the grey weft is a beauty.

The jacket is no joke. I mostly wear neppy & slubby soft jackets. See: oni secret denim, RGT cryptic denim, mister freedom awa ai. The 20 oz secret denim is pajamas soft. This def has some of that sharp cardboard feeling in the elbows. Will require some break in! Really makes me wonder what the LHT feels like because this is a stiff boy out of the gates.

Sizing is fantastic. It’s a bit tight in my belly. But I’m trying to lose 10 pounds right now so I’m not surprised.

For anyone snooping to figure out their size: I am 69 inches, 170 pounds currently, 41 inch chest. I got a size 38. I like slim fits and usually just wear tees under my denim jackets. 40 would fit fine likely if I wanted a looser fit or planned on wearing it with flannels/hoodies/sweatshirts.

Here are some awful pictures that will sell exactly 0 people on buying this jacket.

75 days of wearing this blue beauty I absolutely love fading this jacket. Super pleased with the colors that are revealing themselves as I continue to wear this awesome type 1.

[RJScheuerle]

@Oaktavia I hope iron heart gives you huge discounts because it’s these fades that got me hooked. This jacket is legendary. Glad to have gotten one while I still could!

[RJScheuerle]

@Oaktavia also looks like this thing is armor. not seeing anything even close to a hole despite all the high contrast fades.

[Oaktavia]

@RJScheuerle thanks man and I am so glad you got one of these amazing heavyweight jackets. Truly some denim armor! Wear it hard, wear it all the time and fade that fecker!

Every one who was on the fence about sizing on this one, were you thankful for going up one size ? I’m typically a XL in UHF’s and just want to layer a thin hoodie under this for the winter so am leaning on the XL despite the measurements looking seemingly a little big. Any help would be appreciated here fam

[tvaillant75]

Hi,
I am a XL in UHF and I can squeeze it in under this jacket. As you noticed the measurements err on the generous side, and the sleeve length would have been too long for the XXL.
That being said if you want to have a full range of motion I'd size up as the heavy fabric can restrain a bit.
Hope that helps

Before and after evolution.

100 wears!

[Fadez]

@Oaktavia nothing short of epic my man!

[Oaktavia]

@Fadez thanks man, I love this jacket so much!

[kantian]

Not quite at Oak level but it's coming along.

Love this jacket. Wish I would've picked up the 139 so I could see how this denim progresses without the grey weft.

[Oaktavia]

@kantian definitely coming along dude it looks fecking awesome especially in that soft golden lighting. Keep it wearing it, it's on a roll with the fades now.
