@hugothecowboy you can look the information up by following this guide: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/19715/restock-estimates-on-product-pages
In this case, I have done it for you and pictured below:

Thank you

@Richard That's the craziest thing - I was just looking at this jacket and a chambray bomber that I'd never seen before on eBay this morning. I love it, but I don't think it's cold enough to justify buying where I live. Such a great IH piece to own though. Yours looks sick!
Well worn denim & leather is a journal of life.

@indigo_fades Not sure where you are but I'm in Belgium, so a weather very much like England I would say, maybe slightly less rainy, but probably less cold overall in the winter, especially these last years.
Still I can wear this a lot. It's warmer than a non-lined jacket, sure, but it's not that warm either imo. Sleves are quilted, so this is less warm than the wool body.
Off course it can be a "winter" jacket if you layer this like a motherfucker, but I use it with T's and sweat during fall/begin winter, and also very early spring, and it's just right.I would range this comfortable between 18C until 5C (with a warmer pull/UHF). Just my 2 cents
Great piece Richard, mine is still very new

Agreed with the dude above me.
It’s warmer than an unlined jacket but not by a whole lot. It was 10c here yesterday in Germany and I wore it over an IHTL-1501 very comfortably. I see it as sitting perfectly in-between my type-3’s and my N1’s.

@Slash I appreciate the feedback! Unfortunately, even my unlined jackets only get about 4 months of wear per year. It's mid-October and still 85⁰ (30⁰c) here this week on the southern coast of North Carolina. I'd love to have a reason to buy a lined jacket, but it would legitimately be a Jan & Feb exclusive. I don't plan to live at the beach forever though, so this one stays on my list!

Just random also, but I did receive a email from Lee for their new collection, and although I don't buy there anymore, I always look at their "101" collection, which is their "Japanese Made".
Prices from this collection really had been inflating since the 2 last years, but now I think they really lost their mind
Their Storm Rider goes for 700€ !!
I cannot say for sure, but I'm pretty sure it's not a competition at all with IH quality, and now with this price, IH looks like an absolute steal, and like a last beacon of rationality in this denim world. Really hope for them that IH finds solutions for their production, because if they do, I think they would be placed very aggressively price/quality wise.
I've a dry/raw denim jacket from Lee from their 101 collection, that goes now for 400€ (it was 250€ before), but when I have this besides my 14oz IB from IH, the quality from IH feels sooooo much better, so I can only imagine how this Lee Storm Rider would suffer the comparison with IH.
Long story short, long live IH
-
@Slash This. So much this.
I mean I am so glad I found IH and maybe some very few other brands that are actually quality. -
@Snafu it's a great jacket, but I can't wear it in the English winter. It's not warm enough. It's best in spring and fall, and under a puffer jacket in winter.
-
@Richard I’ve always been curious how warm these wear. What are those temps like in spring/autumn? Texas winters get chilly but I imagine a storm ride would be perfect out here.
