[sabergirl]

Oh dang! This ended up in the right hands. Very nice.

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl heck yeah thats nice to hear. I can definitely wear it around the house comfortably so I'll see how I can get on with some evo.

I posted this the other day about FW 18 which was definitely the GOAT collection:

@Oaktavia said in Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?:

2018 was an incredible year for denim outerwear. 21oz N1, Pea Coat and Mountain Parka, 14oz B-2, 14oz M-65 & OD and even a brown duck M-65 (I think I have all of those correct). What an amazing year, I wouldn't even know where to start with choosing.

@Oaktavia That jacket

[Denman John]

Damn, that’s nice and looks great on ya!

Never knew this existed either, now I’m hoping for an eventual announcement of the rerun of this amazing jacket. This would be so good as a work jacket …

[Oaktavia]

@Denimhead-0 it is pure fire

@Denman-John thanks a lot dude! It is super comfortable to wear too. The large pockets on the bottom of the coat are great to put my hands in while walking with my family down by the river. I've been wearing it inside as well to lounge in since the temps cooled down perfect this week to have the windows in the house open. Creases have set on wonderfully. I'll post more photos in a few weeks.

I got one of these a few years ago from the Outlet, and I agree with @Oaktavia that they are awesome.

I loved reading through your posts on here. Still have your jacket? It would be rad to see photos of yours laid out!

[Denman John]

@Oaktavia I’m looking forward to seeing what this looks like in the spring and hearing about how it handled the winter. I have a black Wabash chore coat that is an amazing work jacket for 3 seasons. This jacket looks like it would be well suited for winter work use.

[Oaktavia]

@Denman-John It kind of wears like a chore coat in the sense that it is longish, wears a little loose, has big pockets. If I worked outdoors for a living, I would definitely give it a go. But I'll just do work in and around the house, just wear it around to lounge, to and from work as a teacher, etc. I'm wondering if I can "get away" with wearing it indoors without looking too silly at work. It is usually pretty cold in my classroom so I'll probably give that a go. Either way, it will get worn enough to show some evo over the next six months or so.

[Graeme]

@Oaktavia Thanks @Oaktavia. I've still got mine. It's a 3XL, and I'm a 4XL or bigger these days, so it's getting rather snug in the shoulders. Mine hasn't had a lot of fading, and I'm sure yours will look better by the Spring.

Bonus shot: My dog decided it would be a good place to sit.

[Graeme]

@Giles Most of my favourite Iron Heart pieces have ended up in the Outlet. Frequently after I've paid full price for them.

I regret not picking up the IHM-38-BLK in 4XL a few months ago. I wasn't quite sure if the detachable lining would fit me, so I passed.

[Oaktavia]

@Graeme nice hell yeah dude thank you for sharing. Cool dog!!!

[Graeme]

@Oaktavia thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.

Mine doesn't get as much wear as it should, and it hasn't faded a huge amount. It's probably a bit heavy for most of the year, and my go-to is my IHJ-97.

[Mizmazzle]

@Graeme love how this jacket looks once it’s relaxed and broken in some. Bet it drapes pretty nice now.

[Oaktavia]

Early signs of what is to come with this amazing parka. I have been wearing it over the 21oz CPO Sample. It is so comfortable! I have even been wearing them together indoors and my wife is 100% sure I'm indigo crazy (she knew before, just a blatant reminder).

I really love the raw 21oz denim. It has a different look and feel than the one washed flagship. It makes this coat ever the more special to me.

[sabergirl]

Im not sure this denim is raw. Pretty sure it’s just the regular 21oz. Still a gorgeous coat!
