IH-526Jod - Overdyed Type III

[georgeel]

I worn an OD jacket long time ago, in my 20… I loved it, and seeing these OD type III from IH made me happy...
... and unhappy, 'cause they are sold out!
But i'll wait my turn...

Hi,

I just received my jacket this morning.  It's the first Iron Heart product I have purchased and I couldn't be happier with it!

Thanks,
Griffin

congrats Griffin, how about some pics?

I almost bought another after getting my XL…

Thanks!  Sure, as long as you don't mind crappy cell phone pics.  If you want a fit pic it'll likely be me standing in front of a bathroom mirror though.

I don't mind, pictures are always good…

Pockets?

@elclintor:

Pockets?

I think a "traditional cut" would exclude pockets but not sure.  I guess anything's possible with this particular crew.

[elclintor]

well, i thought maybe pockets would be the twist..

OK. so whether what I was wanting to do will happen or not depends on the following.

I want to make the jacket out of raw 18oz.  Some to be overdyed.  This is the issue:

Haraki san will talk to factory. Stiffness-wise, 18 oz denim is most stiff fabric in IH series. Obviously the factory will have hard time sewing them and there is high possibility that they say no to us….
He will get back to you soon.

Here are a couple of pics of my jacket.  I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying it!

Sorry about the pic size.  It was either kinda big and grainy or small.

No, it's a large.  There were two left when I ordered it and one more XL.  Glad I didn't miss out!

great fit! i was thinking of purchasing one awhile ago. I just wasn't sure if the indigo fade would end up staining whatever you're wearing over it.

anyone care to shed some light on it?

Nice jacket fit!  What kind of shirt is that?

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The guy who ordered the last XL got the size wrong.

There is an XL back in the store….....................

Thanks for the kind words!  The shirt is a J.Crew chambray.

Hi Giles:

please reply only if you have time, I don't want to be a drag on your activities.

How does a 18 oz fabric be more stiff than 21 oz?
In other words, what makes a fabric stiff?
Is there a measure of stiffness like there is one for weight (18 oz, 21 oz, 23 oz…)?

Thank you

[Giles]

The individual threads of both weft and the warp yarns are spun tighter when spinning the yarns and the tension in the weaving process is greater.

No measure that i know of….
