@Boit am definetely thinking about doing that, jacket would look cleaner too I think
-
@Boit yup I did
-
repurposed the leather pull; put on my 136 -
My partner said “let me take a picture to show all your Iron Heart Forum friends!” Been drooling over this jacket for a while now, and after having quite a few IH Jackets this XS fits me better than any other! Being a short slender guy is sometimes rough! This jacket is absolutely killer!
-
@LittleRockRaw Great fit and congrats!!
-
Can anyone chime in on the "spray the arms" method. I do notice on most of my IH CPOs, jackets etc. the "stock" crease straight down the arm is pretty prominent.
I never really thought much about it as I just wear my pieces but I am curious about this method. -
@jglatz spray the arms is to spray the elbow pit area before wearing it to help set creases for the arm honeycombs as far as I know!
-
@jglatz I feel like spraying the arms helps with the creases more than with the fold line. I mostly soak the arms before wear and let them dry to get rid of the long vertical crease
-
@jglatz do you do anything to get rid of the stock crease? I've noticed it on a couple of shirts and would like to avoid the stripe fade if possible.
-
@catdad1 have not done this yet but seems like folks either soak the arms or spray them
-
@jglatz If you have a steamer, you can use that. Otherwise, soaking the arms (or the whole jacket) is probably your best bet.
-
Love that jacket more and more!
-
Wow ,yeah… this monster sure does bleed!
-
Have been wearing this jacket exactly 17 times since I got it and it's already showing some indigo at the arm creases that's popping through under the black surface. It's hard to photograph it but I tried. Absolutely love that jacket and can't wait for how it's going to look in a year or so.
-
Mine's coming along nicely.
-
I have been wearing the 123 as much as possible the last months and I am surprised how fast it changed for an overdyed fabric. We moved into our new home the last two weeks and the jacket is now drying from it's first wash after about 70 wears
Pre wash:
-
@FlavourFade looking forward to the post wash pics!
-
Does anyone know if they are going to release this Work Jacket in just a black denim?
-
-
Post wash, I think it looks pretty cool to see the indigo popping at the arm creases while at some other spots it just washes out with less of a contrast
