@Chibs great result for you fella! Fits really well and glad you are happy! Clearly a jacket you were determined to get! Getting that sleeve length in an XL is a score! Just shows the benefits of being in person for such items. Enjoy it!
Totally! You’re so lucky you can just casually walk into Ironheart HQ and cherry pick the way you did. I’d love to do that someday. In Japan too! Feeling like I got really lucky with this jacket and the way it fits. Compared to the measurements online, the ones I tried on that didn’t at all fit and all of the ones Alex went through at HQ, it’s crazy I was able to get what I got.
This is peak Chibs!
Went for our morning walk @ 10°C and my thick hoodie felt perfect underneath.

So that original photo that you posted with Heath in a baseball cap was one of the determining factors of me wanting this jacket. Lighting was perfect and it was such an epic pic!

@Chibs I believe you found a unicorn! Enjoy!
-
@Chibs hell yeah! Looking forward to see you beat yours up.

I could use some reassurance that I made the right sizing choice here... how do you all think this XL fits? I'm sure it will feel a lot better after a few wears... but it feels a little snug right now.
-
@Rangadello I think it looks good. Shoulders and sleeves look great. Can you get a hoodie underneath?
-
@Chibs Good call... yeah it actually feels great with a hoodie! I could probably use to lose a few pounds in the belly... but that hoodie test gives me confidence that I got the right size. Thanks!
-
@Rangadello yup, that’s your jacket!
-
@Rangadello I think it's perfect, congratulations on your choice

So day 4 with the jacket and I’m honestly smitten with it.
One thing I’ve noticed is the sleeves got a bit longer somehow. Maybe because of the way it was initially folded and creased while being shipped. Not a big deal at all though, I like my sleeves a tad long and I could always hot wash. An other little nitpick is the button second from the bottom. It’s crazy tough to do up! Takes me 3 times as long as all the other buttons combined but I think (hope) this will get easier with time.
Apart from that, it’s such a comfortable and versatile piece. That thick 21oz denim breaths really well and driving in it is an absolute pleasure.
I also know from experience with my 666 21oz that it will become even softer and more comfortable as it breaks in which is crazy as the initial bar in that respect is already quite high! So If I were to pick one and only one light-ish jacket to have for the rest of my life, this would definitely be it. Admittedly, I’m full of $hit because as I type this I’m thinking about that Self Edge Od CPO as well as the Untucked coming out in July, but you get the idea

@Chibs looks great on you man! I wonder if the sleeves being longer is more that they “feel” longer cause the shoulders and chest have stretched a bit with wear. My IHJ-86 stretched about 1/2” in the chest and shoulders, but then tighten back up with a wash.
-
@Mizmazzle Thanks! Could be. When Scott took it out of the box, it was flat from being jam packed with all the other jackets. They ordered a lot! I noticed the arms were wide and creased at the sides from that.
-
@Chibs One of the things you can try and do to shorten the sleeves is dampen them and try to set the creases. They will do it on their own with time and wear, but you can speed the process up a little.

Got my jacket from ISP yesterday. It's a little big over a tee but nothing bad. Fits great over a thick tee and kersey today... As it's rainy and 58°. The size down would be a risk around the belly and sleeves.

I received my jacket from Ironheart Germany today but I’m not too happy with it unfortunately. Button spacing seems all over the place, something that shouldn’t happen on a jacket in this price range imho. I know the spacing is different for the top button and the one below but this is on another level. I think I’ll contact Ironheart Germany for an exchange, what do you think?
-
Unfortunately, I have to agree. The button spacing would bother me as well.
