IHJ-49 - Split Steer Modified Type III Jacket - Black or Brown

[coughpls]

@mapotofu thank you for the quick reply!

@coughpls Going to echo the above advice: Please measure your current jacket after watching this video
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/5664

and compare those measurements to the ones listed for the IHJ-49. Take note of any measurements that are important to you and see what works and what doesn’t. If something is off, you can always email the guys at IHUK (shop@ironeheart.co.uk) and ask for additional help.

@seawolf hi! been awhile but i was wondering if you're still experiencing that dye transfer? did it ever go away? I'm a big fan of white clothing and so does my wife and i was eyeing the IHJ-49 black, waiting for it to be restocked... Thanks in advance!

[seawolf]

@Tommyn7717 there was a problem with my jacket, and I had to return it. I handled one at Self Edge recently and it was fine. I think you’ll be good to go!

[Tommyn7717]

@seawolf Thank you! glade you mentioned it, i actually just ordered it from Self Edge lol; wait for the brown to restock on IH website... should give me some time to save up for a 2nd one haha

@Tommyn7717 Amazing! It's such a wonderful piece. One of the most comfortable jackets I've ever worn. Enjoy!

In terms of maintenance on the rough out leather. What is the best way to moisturize the leather if it is starting to feel dry? Any product or method recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

[Mizmazzle]

@jschmid just out of curiosity, is yours starting to feel dry?
I’ve had mine for a few years now and it looks and feels the same as the day I go it. I live in a pretty arid climate too.

[goosehd]

I'll second that question...same as I've had mine for quite a few years and haven't noticed anything.

[jschmid]

Just slightly more dry than before. I have owned it for about three to four years now. I haven’t done anything in terms of maintenance so wasn’t sure if I need to?

Soon 10 yrs old first run jacket, no maintenance. it was hiding a bit and now back like the new runs. What a Beauty.

@davito2 wow! 10 years?!! It looks great. I obtained one through a trade a few months ago, and I’ve been itching to wear it ever since. Hopefully the weather starts cooling down soon so I can actually wear it consistently.

I wore it once recently for date night with my wife. I noticed the black ink transfer all over my white shirt and hands once I got home. Did you experience any transfer? If so, how long did it last?

[davito2]

Hi @caithangkhanh Thank You, yes I got one out of the first run when it came out in late 2016. I havent worn it that much yet and havent noticed any crocking so far yet.

Thats Nice to Hear about your Date Night, wear and Enjoy your jacket and Enjoy many Dates with your wife.

[Mizmazzle]

@davito2 sick! I was actually thinking of breaking out mine this week too. Supposed to get chilly!

[davito2]

@Mizmazzle thank You. Nice to hear , rock it

How different is that from the upcoming Horsehide Suede Modified Type III Jacket? Both have the same cut, the same colour and the same hardware (it seems)....

[Alex]

Pretty much the leather is the only difference

[Mizmazzle]

Perfect 49 weather today

[caithangkhanh]

@Mizmazzle that jacket looks great, but the whole outfit is .

[popvulture]

@AdamJ I keep thinking about picking one of these up — are they in production for the colder months, or undetermined at this point?
