IHW-02 - Wool CPO Jacket

[Goldwater]

@LandoCal126:

Damn Goldwater, I might need that now. That fit pic is great. I am debating the Red right now…

Sorry about that - seeing that fit pic I felt the same.

If there is one thing I don't need it is another jacket. But that probably won't keep me away..

Naw, no waiting needed. Between the IHW-01 and this there is no need to wait. It's not like the SE version is going to have buttons instead of zippers so there is no reason for me to wait other than cash flow…

[Splattered]

Well for me its cotton vs wool so i think it'll be a lighter jacket? Which might work out better considering my location… waiting to see full details first.

SE version will be quilt lined…G

Forgot about that. Just another reason why I want this version. I love the non-lined CPO material. It will be one of three I own!!! I can't wait to see G's fit flicks so I can decide what color I will take!!!

Is there an estimated drop date?  There are so many jackets I want this fall…but this is a must have...

[Giles]

2-3 weeks at most

[santos]

Good to know! Thanks!

[FurattoHeddo]

Did not see the pricing mentioned anywhere? Will it be around $450 perhaps?

[Giles]

USD510 I am afraid….G

[Toasted]

Aww shit. That is amazing.

[Giles]

Shipping from Japan tomorrow

[Toasted]

You must be really happy with these Giles.

[Giles]

I love em….

[Giles]

Good news/good news/bad news.

They are here
They have leather pulls on both zip pullers
They have the embroidered Iron Heart above the breast pocket.  My request to not have this, obviously got lost in translation

I am checking with Haraki to see if it can be unpicked without damaging the jacket for those of you who would prefer no embroidery…..

[Giles]

Update from Haraki.  They are going to remove the embroidery on a jacket in Hachioji tomorrow to see if OK.  So, we may have the best of both worlds, with or without….G

[Beatle]

lol..whoever doesn't want the second leather pull - could use it as replacement for the one I lost on my vest…

[Katsushin]

Would ity be easy to remove the small Iron Heart tag on the pocket?
Emroidery is cool, IMO just a bit much with both on there (i.e. would look good with one or the other).

[Giles]

No, that is applied with some constructional stitching…...

[Giles]

GREAT NEWS.

I can remove the embroidery with zero damage to the Melton.  You would not even know it had ever been embroidered.  So you can choose with or without…..G
