@soda_fabbrica it's a fun place to visit. I wish it wasn't over the big dang ol' Atlantic from me, I'd visit more often. Looking forward to seeing your 555s.

Here you go. They're 10years old, had some repairs over the years.. a London tailor made good the blown pockets and turn-ups. Now the crotch area is looking rather forlorn.. will send them to IH for repairs.. quite possibly the last repairs before they go to Denim heaven.

@soda_fabbrica beautiful, thanks for sharing. I love the blue arcs.

Moonlighting with a pair of RGTs 15.25oz indigo selvedge denim.. oh, and a pair of DMs.

Hey guys
My first post and love letter to my new Jacket.
I was initially interested in the modified 21 oz type 3 but Ironheart was sold out as well as a local shops that stock them. I found my size in the US but got sidetracked by this version from a Youtube vid. Not only was it more my style but in stock at IH! Ordering was really easy and got an email next day confirming my size from Freeman. He even measured the exact jacket that was getting sent which was so cool!
It got here quick!
I got Large and It fits a lot more snug than the Levies variant in medium I bought and just didn't love. Returned that jacket before ordering. Having said that, I can get a hoody / sweatshirt underneath and still button er up so I'm happy! Sleeve length and overall length is perfect.
One of my shoulders has quite a bit more muscle than the other and because the jacket is more fitted, it stands out more (if I'm looking for it). But that's more of a "me problem" haha. If I ordered an XL I think everything else would look more off.
Ive only had it a bit over a week but wearing this trucker as much as possible! Helps that it's been really mild here. The wife asked me if I plan on wearing to bed
. It started out very stiff and maaaayby it's getting a bit softer, or perhaps I'm just getting used to it.. This jacket is definitely thicker than expected and I dig that! Looks and feels worlds better than that Levi's. Feels like the highest quality denim I have ever bought. It actually is so that tracks. Can only imagine how much heavier the 21oz feels.
(Canadian Tux FTW!)
So overall I effing loving this jacket! Glad I ordered direct from IH and I'm Definitely a fan now. Sooo I joined the forum!! So hey! -
Thanks guys! Thanks to Iron Heart for making my Jacket and having excellent customer service (Freeman)!
Before joining this forum I went over to Reddit to create a similar post. Only problem was that Iron Heart means a totally different thing on Reddit and Not at all SFW!!
Glad to find this forum. Really doubt this'll be my last IH purchase. Eyeballing an out of stock olive M65 Field Jacket and maybe some jeans

@Chibs welcome. I think most of us can relate to that first experience of the legendary IH product/customer service combo. It’s all too easy to get used to it!
Also, not a path I’ve taken but a fair few guys on here have been known to sleep in their IH gear. I’m sure they’ll back you up if you ever need to convince your wife that such things are totally normal

@Chibs You can always check out the list of retailers at the beginning of the product thread for a second chance at scoring something that may be OOS at HQ.
Handy, but dangerous. 
Didn't realize this but I'm safe for now. The local store that stocks the M65 only has it in a medium. I'm large so thank the maker!!

Frydays, short walk from IH. Watched the Isle of Wight ferries coming and going. The seagulls keeping a beady eye on the chance of grabbing some leftovers..

Does anyone find the sleeve opening on this jacket to be too limiting? Looks awfully small compared to the shirts I have.
You can open the cuff button if you feel that way. When I wear gloves that's what I do.

There is a 19oz version of this demin coming to a website near you soon.
Just jeans thus far…..But take a deep breath, and you never know what'll happen......
Rereading this thread. Is this still something in the mix?
