IHJ-150-BLK - 20oz Paraffin Coated Duck Chore Jacket - Black

[Mr Jules]

Man, I love the look of this chore jacket!
Is this Ironheart 17oz Duck canvas , coated in paraffin to create 20oz Duck?
The same ways the N1 jackets when waxed become a heavier weight fabric?
I love the 17oz Duck CPO shirts, so just trying to imagine how this fabric will wear, fade and mould to the wearer.
Any clues as to when this jacket will go into production? Be great as a fall and spring jacket.

This one and the non seasonal 21 oz black untucked. Something about them that's really hardcore.

[Fjcooper]

I'm also very curious about this one. Is the material similar to the heavier waxed cotton jackets (e.g., Filson tin cloth, etc.)? And does anyone know when this will be released?

Still wondering if this is the 17oz duck that becomes heavier when the coating is applied? Or a heavier duck fabric altogether?

[Northman]

@gneicher In the drop vid when they introduced it they said its 20oz duck canvas and then with paraffin coating applied on top. I don't think it is 17oz because they also said it was ridiculously hard to construct due to the fabric being so tough.

[Alex]

@gneicher its a new fabric, as @Northman says

[Giles]

Random stupidity at the Iron Heart Christmas party.... @Freeman 's sample....

[freepickin]

@Giles holy hell that thing is looking sweet. I was definitely going to pass on anything else this season but man you've left me wondering now.

[sabergirl]

I’ve a sneaking suspicion this is going to be a wills, but not…gross? Waxy? Hard to describe but I’ve never wanted to even touch one of those, and would probably like this.

[Northman]

Yeeaa... Will have to try to grab one.

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl lol

[steelworker]

@sabergirl yeah I get what you mean.
being soaked is better than that cold clammy feeling.

And to echo everyone else what a fucking beast!

[FlavourFade]

Are these fade resistant or made to fade?

[Oroccoco]

I'd love to see some more pics, the wait has seemed interminable on this one. @Freeman can you give us any insights into how it wears and how you see the use case for it? It's beastly obviously.

[Freeman]

@Oroccoco I'll get some more photos asap.

The first few days of wear, you're definitely fighting it. But after a couple of weeks and creases set you're good. I've had it for 2 month and I can still only get one button fastened. It's a great outer layer for drizzles and I honestly feel like if I was hit by car, the car would be worse off ahaha.

[Oroccoco]

Thanks @Freeman , sounds amazing, look forward to the bloodbath that will be trying to get hold of one. Favouring the black I think.

[Crispy Heron]

@Oroccoco - same dilemma as me. Black or duck?

[Oroccoco]

@Crispy-Heron it might be the ultimate brown duck, and maybe a once-only deal, so naturally tempting, but I'm thinking this slightly dressier black one might be more versatile. I'm flop-flopping too!
