IHJ-165-ODG - 6.2oz Serge Drizzler Jacket - Olive Drab Green
-
Hi guys - how much give/expansion (eg an inch either side?) is there in the elasticated Opening at the bottom of the jacket? I assume the measurements above do not reflect this "give"?

Hi, the above measurements do not reflect the give in elasticated opening.
We have tried the jacket on here and each side the elasticated section expands to a maximum of 2" (6" relaxed to 8" maximum extension) - so overall you could get up to 4" of extra room we would say.
Hope that helps!

Thanks - much appreciated

I really like the cut, fabric, and overall look of this jacket, but the large chest embroidery makes it a pass for me personally.
One of the things I’ve always appreciated about Iron Heart is that the garments usually let the fabric, construction, and details do the talking. Small labels, tabs, patches, and discreet branding all make sense to me, but larger visible branding changes the feeling of the garment quite a bit.

My most worn Iron Heart jacket is the IHJ-113-OD - 10oz Selvedge Denim Drizzler Jacket - Indigo Overdyed Black thanks to the casual collar.
So this drizzler really appealed to me, I also quite like pairing olive colour jackets with denim pants. I already have a seam ripper to remove leather patches, so I gave it a go on the embroidery and after a wash the puncture marks are only very faintly visible on the outside (quite visible on the inside), not enough for people to notice.
The description mentions that this "high-density serge weave" is "slightly brushed for a soft hand feel" ... and wow yeah it feels so nice, almost reminds me of how leather cuffs sometimes feel super soft.
The way this fabric also crinkles / drapes is pretty sweet.
Highly recommend.
Edited because .HEICs dont work
