IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
Went ahead and got XXXL. First I thought that I might have been better off with SP-Large but after almost 2 weeks of non-stop wear It has stopped squeaking and maybe stretched a centimeter or two in some places. Will try to get as much wear before it gets too cold here because this is definitely a ''Wear with a t-shirt'' jacket for me.
Now very happy with my purchase and It's already a favorite after the initial quite brutal break in period.
Happy owner of two IH type 3s now, this and a SP-Large Superblack ( Both serve a purpose ). -
The only bad thing about this jacket is that .. I don't want anything else. I keep moving on from adding things because I always grab this and I know that will continue. I have a 526PJ that just hangs around the closet...

Could not resist any longer and Iron Heart Germany still had one sitting and waiting there for me… I think the size is right, I can even stuff a UHF underneath, what you think?! (I know I need to clean that mirror one day 🫣
)

@Larkens Well, well and then there are still the releases of the FW25 collection.
It’s like playing roulette — you need to think carefully about where to put your money

Happy Hallowe'en

Good evening guys,
Looking for a fit check and opinion.
I've coveted this jacket for years and finally decided to pull the trigger on an XL from a popular UK retailer as IHUK are out of stock. This is a size up from my 526PJ and I think it was the correct decision as it feels a lot more comfortable and still retains a trim fit.
However, the jacket arrived with clear white abrasions on the folded corners of the collar. Also the corner of the patch is missing stitches and is loose. Would this be a dealbreaker to anyone else? The abrasions were immediately noticeable on opening it as they are pure white with all the dye rubbed away. I planned to beat this thing to death as we all do but this doesn't seem right for a brand new item.
Exchange isn't an option as it is the last one in stock (maybe because of the imperfections).
-
Also, please ignore the joggers!
-
So far as I can tell from a quick search, the last 3 restocks were approx 2 years apart from each other (6/2025, 7/2023, 11/2021). So you'd probably be looking at 2027 for the next one. If the retailer did not disclose those marks, you might be able to successfully get a little refund.
Doesn't seem like a real big deal, though. Especially for a piece like this that is handled so harshly in the manufacturing process and kinda hits the ground running with the ol' wabisabi as a result.
-
@RitchieCDog Even mine was missing a few stitches in the patch, and for a couple of years no other stitches have been missing, never mind these little imperfections make these jackets even more beautiful in my opinion, I wouldn't give this too much weight and I would enjoy this splendid jacket
-
@RitchieCDog I'll check my patch later, but honestly I personally wouldn't mind. My jacket did not look "pristine" when I received it, which doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment I get from wearing it. Plus, the abrasions are on a part of the jacket where I probably wouldn't notice them anyway, and with enough wear you will make this jacket yours and yours only, if you decide to keep it. Just my opinion.
As a general note, and I have written this before, the thing I enjoy most about my Iron Heart pieces is that they reflect my lifestyle and how I wear them. They are totally unique and that makes every piece I own special to me
-
@RitchieCDog It's been like this for two years and it hasn't changed, I just very carefully burned the wire that was sticking out but I probably could have done nothing and left everything as it was
-
@RitchieCDog I would say the fit is good.

Bored at work, little pic to add. Going give first wash this weekend, will post before and after pics.
