IH-526-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

JunkPants

Impossible to resist this shorter version (Which I generally prefer). Should be a nice match with the other shorties: 526J, 2526J and the recent bomber jackets.

Only thing that made me pause for a second was that the arms seem to be quite roomy. Guess we'll just have to pump some iron now.......

I will say though: this is the last denim jacket I will buy for a very long time. Getting a bit silly at this point. But what is better than an Iron Heart denim jacket? Not much. Not much at all.

Will order it this week. Since I'm more on the bulky but average height side, I expect an awesome fit for myself

@Luijim78 so agree with you on that 19oz left hand twill. There is something about it that looks great in terms of fit. I'm wanting to pick up a black denim jacket and on the fence between the 526LOD and the 526-SBG. A lot photos of worn and faded OD jackets seem more blue than black. That's my only real hangup in deciding. I mentioned in another thread that Iron Heart should make a full black (no od) 19oz left hand twill type 3 jacket. It would be the black denim rule them all.

Ok pop in Rivet @ Hide

L vs XL not for me this one. I pass I didn’t buy it.

Am messing around

@Kasi thanks for posting the photos, that cut is interesting.

@Oaktavia

Don’t know what to say. Have no words for it

Even though I love Iron Heart.

@Kasi It looks like when the honeycomb creases would settle in, since the arms are wide, the creases will be wide and wild. Pretty cool actually, like the combs on a pair of 634 almost. I think when some folks make it work they will look wild when well worn.

All Bodies are different. Maybe for some not for me.

I end up buying something else.

@Kasi I can see why, the sleeves are ballooning up a little too much. Sooo.... what did you get instead?

jpvisual

Sleeves are too wide. I think the sleeves on the 19oz Left hand twill looks the best. It's nicely fitted. I'm guessing it's just how that fabric forms to the body more.

@tody whatever it was, he bought two. Just to be safe

@Kasi those sleeves look huge!!! I ordered an SBG earlier today, but now that I'm seeing the sleeves I really hope I can make it work. Definitely looks shorter too; I knew that going into it, but it looks even shorter than I thought it would be. Guess I'll know more once it gets here. No matter how this ultimately works out, I'm all in on the Lefty OD once it gets released; that looks like it could be exactly what I've been looking for.

Got to handle one of these at self edge SF today while on work travel. It’s definitely a beautiful piece and I’m looking forward to seeing some faded ones from those that picked it up.

@Kasi L fits better (from this angle). Looks good through shoulders and chest but maybe more for how i’d want a shirt to fit. Overall too short and much too short for my long torso
