Super dope man

@mecken88 how’s the leather and overall quality? And what size did you buy compared to what you’d typically run in IH? Hoping to grab one of these tomorrow.

@Iron-Geezer its so great, it was love at first sight
@Choko thanks man, I appreciate it!
@nrtphotos its beyond any expectations I had, it feels so incredible, high quality and super nice! And the smell, dude it smells so nice haha!
I’m typically size large in IronHeart. Both shirts and jackets. I have a chest circumference of 102cm =40,157 inches. Typically buy jackets around 22” chest measured flat.
I followed TJ recommendations and went with size 42 in the Scar Kakishibu. And it fits me perfectly🫶 great chest, perfect arms. It’s just great and I’m blown away

@mecken88 amazing, looks so good, congratulations! - I'm trying to be patient as mine is currently on its way
-
@Darth-fader thank you man! If sizing is good for you, you will not be disappointed it’s truly an amazing jacket!
But a heads up, trying to button it up will bruise your thumbs for sure

@nrtphotos too bad man, technology is a struggle sometimes. It’s a very limited hide for them, as TJ said before. But hopefully they will be able to secure more hides in the future.
Never say never, the last things that leaves us is our hope. I’m rooting for you!

Looks like my fortunes may have turned. I reached out to TJ about what happened on Tuesday and he mentioned that one of the buyers hadn’t paid yet. I’m assuming this is someone who had put down a deposit? Anyways, it was a long five days but the guy never got back to him and I just paid for it a few minutes ago. Crazy to me to put a deposit down and just walk away from it! His loss is my gain, however.
I also just realized that TJ does free Canadian shipping on orders over $400.00 CAD. He should market this more, I have bought a ton direct from Iron Heart or otherwise hesitated buying from him as I thought there was always a shipping cost. He should market this more!
Looking forward to having this one in the closet. I’m definitely tapped out on jackets for a good while now lol.
-
@nrtphotos congratulations man! Truly your gain! Mine has gotten some sunbathing and really starting to shape some! Love it more each day!🫶

@Darth-fader totally agree! It was love at first sight, and only grows more with wear🤎

My third Y'2 pickup.
I’ve had this steer oil western shirt hanging in my closet for eight months, just waiting for the right occasion.
Last Saturday, that moment finally came — my wedding
Absolutely love the shirt, and I got a ton of compliments on it!

My 44 came in the other day. When I first put it on I thought I had made a mistake with sizing, it looked ridiculous. However, the shoulders felt about right and after some thought and looking at TJ’s before and after photos of the red version I realized I was probably ok. Sure enough, even after a few minutes of wear it was starting to drape better. The sizing is very comfortable for me and I can definitely wear something underneath. It’s definitely more wearable than my Henry, which is much more tailored and a tighter fit.
Stitching on mine is perfect with no visible flaws. My only critique are the cuffs, I’m not sure what you would call that style but they seem purely cosmetic. I do like the fact the leather has some small imperfections and marks, I’m more than a little OCD so it’s nice to have something that isn’t “perfect”, in a traditional sense. Leather thickness seems consistent too.
@mecken88, I think TJ was sharing some photos of yours on Instagram, it’s crazy how much it’s darkened up. Mind sharing them here?

@nrtphotos such a good read! I had a similar feeling too. This is my first ever quality leather jacket so I had no preferences from before. But it was stiff and ridged for what I had ever felt from a leather jacket, but as you said it kind of quickly started to shape more and looked way better on the body.
I’m also a short/mid length guy, I’m 175cm = 5’9”
And this chore shirt even if it’s a “shorter” chore jacket, it’s one of my longest one. Usually buy shorter styles trucker jacket so it took some getting used too for me. But with a few days of wear I just fell for it. So now it’s easily one of my absolute favorite jackets!🤎Yes he dit, I can share it here too for anyone curious what it looks like after like a week in the sun
Before (first day, directly after I took it out of the box)
After, almost exactly one week of wear.
And for anyone curious, i haven’t done anything to the jacket. No balm, leather care, moisturizer or anything. Just a lot of wear, sun sun sun and two days of rain exposure. Then just hang dried indoors until completely dry. And some more sun and wear

@nrtphotos I've got/had a few y2 jackets and personally I have found they end up fitting much better in the long run when they seem slightly oversized to begin with. They seem to shrink a little as they mould and shape to you - so (for me) if they fit perfectly right away I have found they tend to feel a little too restrictive later down the line.
I have the red chore jacket, and thought I had really messed up with the sizing as it just seemed too big at first. But now, after some wear, it fits really well......so it can be tricky to get right!

For those with the red chore jacket, how are you feeling about the ‘hand dyed’ process? Debating on whether to pull the trigger on the new Shop Vancouver type 3…
