Looking so badass @Mizmazzle !

@Crease black denim is definitely bad ass!

Hi guys!
I just ordered this jacket which will be my first type III. Looking forward to get it!

Question; this is Sanforized & One-Washed, is it a must to soak it before use? What do you guys think?

Thanks!

[yannis]

@Sunnergren. No soak. needed. Its sandorized and washed so all or most shrinkage is already remove.

[Sunnergren]

Thank you @yannis!

I also want to say thank you to @Mizmazzle for tirelessly showing his progress on this jacket. Made my decision much easier. Will be the first time wearing something I XXL. Also thanks to Josh at Iron Heart UK for the actual measurements. Will post pictures next week.

@Sunnergren we’re on some sort of IH cosmic parallel path. I also just ordered one of these! (And the 888XHSib arrive tomorrow lol)

Also gotta give props to @Mizmazzle for his pics. They put me over the edge for the fade needs.

[Mizmazzle]

@Sunnergren I wouldn’t worry about soaking it before first wear. But when it comes times to wash it, def soak it first to avoid marbling.

@dwils that’s awesome, really like having an iron-heart-breaking-in-period-friend
I’ve just worn my 888 4 days, and now had to leave them at home for a work trip. I can’t stand it for a 9 hour flight, but I really want to put them on again. However the back of my knee and my hips are thanking me for the paus I think that the black jacket will complement the dark blue of the jeans nicely.

Thank you for the insight @Mizmazzle I will absolutely follow your advice.

Fresh out the paper bag! This is an XL. Fits a touch tighter than my XL type III Superblack (tho the measurements were darn close) but the XXL measurements on these looked a little too big for my liking. I tried a thin layer under it and it worked.
What do we think!?

@dwils It is a nice fit.

[Sunnergren]

@dwils it really is a handsome jacket and I think that it fits you very well. Great buy!

[Giles]

Looks great.....

[Luijim78]

@dwils I think it looks great on you my friend, with a little wear it will drape perfectly

[noescapin]

I love the jacket already.

[dwils]

Thanks for all the comments everyone.
Psyched to watch this one change through the summer!

[Sunnergren]

Not the best of photos, but the one I had time to take. I love this jacket and it is a part of me now. Very happy that I went with XXL (44) on this. It works with a hoodie underneath but I can feel it in the arms. With a T-shirt it is perfect closed but also works open.

[dwils]

@Sunnergren sounds like a perfect fit. Looks great. I haven’t taken mine off since I got it

[Sunnergren]

@dwils thank you!

[Sunnergren]

A few more pics, really enjoy this jacket. Maybe 6-8 wears now.

For reference I am 188cm tall and about 90kg. This is size XXL (44).

T-shirt underneath today, feels as good closed as open. Jeans are 888 in XHSib.

Cheers!

@Sunnergren @dwils I'm stoked to see this thread getting some much deserved action!!
