Mid Sept

[madmonday]

2 months not too bad of a wait considering all going on at Iron Heart central.  Plus, it is so easy for an outsider like myself to forget that they did very recently go through an immeasurable natural disaster.

so for once i am patient, sort of kind of  ::)

Hey guys… can someone comment on how the fabric/fit compares to the Levi's/Filson Type III? Is this breathable and lighter weight? I have the filson and since its heavily oiled, there is absolutely no breathing through the fabric. I wore it on my trip to Japan, its a great jacket but I always end up sweating inside  8).. Haven't worn it since...

^^^^

this item is not yet available to the general public.  i guess it's hard to tell with all the pages of interest related to it.

maybe G can answer your question since he was globetrotting in it a few months back?

[Giles]

I dont know ho it fits to the Levi's/Filson version.  It will be approx (if not exactly) the same size as this:

And it is pretty breathable, certainly more so that anything waxed.

Any chance you will make one without side pockets at some point G?

[Giles]

Probably not, but let's see how this one goes…..

@Giles:

i didn't forget about this, i was just letting it rest for a moment, but f^ck it . . . i'm madmonday & no bumps on this for so long is a sin.

Far too many good things in the pipeline, bankruptcy is imminent lol …

Differently haven't forgot about these. With all the amazing duck photos on the other threads I am dying to get these

I love this jacket. However, I can't decide between this and the 526J and, unfortunately, I'll have to choose one.

[madmonday]

do this one.  follow my twisted reasoning 

no idea how well this will do & so you better grab it while it is around. the 526J has been around for a little while & i don't think it will change for the forseeable future.  oh & i think they are also going to do a type III in the 666/beattle buster raw denim as well, which is probaly going to be limited.

so, if you are intent on getting an indigo jacket you might want to try that one . . . . .

choices choices

Edit: It must have been my fatigued state because I read it a third time and it made complete sense. Thanks. If that is, in fact the case, I think I'll follow your reasoning.

Get duck cause it's easier to combine with denim, and when worn in it looks mighty cool!..

[madmonday]

great point seul.  i want one of these so bad but have way too many jackets.  going to have to live through the rest of yous on this one -unless i fall into a money pit & pull out a couple stacks-.

[deftoned]

Dam… These look good too.
