Please Help Me Identify These IH Models

[tody]

With that picture, no one is going to be able to tell. Post a photo of it laying flat we can see the collar, the shape, the pocket placement, the print. Post a picture of the inside, as that is where the differences between models can be.

@tody thanks for the help. Are these pics any help?

[tody]

I say IHJ-12, that looks fleece lined to me. Also, the IHJ-05 had a different style front print.

[pasikepu]

@tody thanks so much!

@pasikepu said in How to ”identify” your jacket:

How can I identify which model cordura windbreaker jacket I have?

By using the search function and looking at the images in each thread....

[pasikepu]

@tody do they both have fleece-lining or just the IHJ-12? Or what is the main difference?

[sabergirl]

This might be newer than 12. The 5 definitely had a white lining. I think most of the earlier ones did.

@pasikepu thread merged here.

What the heck is this? Please help @VegaS10 and I identify this jacket. I am stumped...

[Jord]

@Oaktavia I know something is crazy when even you are stumped...

[sabergirl]

I saw that, too! I think it looks like it has kakishibu threads or overdye or something. Also not confident that it’s actually iron heart? Does the seller have closeups of the buttons or other details?

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl I had those same thoughts and questions.

[tody]

never seen something like this before, either.
buttons show that it's probably not a factory od process, too pristine.
selvedge id shows that it has been overdyed orange.

[goosehd]

Agree with Ann that it looks like kakishibu and wonder if someone experimented on their jacket. Would explain why the leather patch was removed.

Someone tried it on a Kapital jacket: https://www.reddit.com/r/rawdenim/comments/1krkwju/dye_experiment_kapital_indigo_no3overdyed_with/

[Oaktavia]

@tody I was also thinking this same thing.

Funny this was posted. I spent no less than an hour last night searching every corner of the internet looking for this model. Might not be factory original but it’s still pretty sick! Kinda loving it! What jacket do you think they used to make the mods?

[VegaS10]

I messaged @Oaktavia this morning about it. It looks to be a lighter weight (maybe 14oz). Buttons look legit. "W" embroidery on the pocket looks legit...but, where it's fading on the cuff, it appears white, and the stitching seems to have an orange hue. The pockets appear orange and the "44" tag looks to have a tint to it similar to how the OD products have. I've been here for a few years myself and have yet to see a similar piece.

[goosehd]

@VegaS10 Did you ask the seller?

[pjroo33]

@goosehd
I reached out but haven’t received a response. He’s got tons of other clothing listed for sale so I think he’s just a reseller. Guessing he doesn’t know .

[Oaktavia]

I messaged them too and waiting.
