IHxVS-T1-DD - Iron Heart/Vater & Sohn 16.5oz Indigo/Indigo Duck Type I Jacket

[Max Power]

Gotta agree - I dislike the boxy short fit of Type Is, but this one is really different. The stiffness is awesome - it actually doesn't move at all when you put them on for the first time after the soak.

Shrinkage was minimal but if you're in doubt, size up.

(I'm 42 - XL btw and the fit is raw / presoak. L was incredibly tight.).

I don't need another jacket, do I?

[Finn666]

in this (denim) world it's not about things you "need" @Graeme
if we all just would buy things we really "need", Giles would be a poor man ^^

[Max Power]

How many good fitting Type Is with a patch that awesome in a fabric that special do you know? See.

The fabric bleeds a bit.

[Finn666]

are you able to provide pre and post soak measurements? @Max Power

[Giles]

Edit.  @Axel  just reminded me that I wore an XL in the pics….

[Max Power]

@Finn666

Just did a quick measurement in my Office (have no real measuring tape, though) : Shoulders 47,5 cm, Sleeve 66 cm, Length 63 cm. So it didn't shrink much (it's been hot soaked for 40 minutes).

I thought that L would be tight on you Giles, so that explains it.

[Giles]

Yeah, I was almost convinced I was wrong as I typed it.  But I'm 6 hours ahead of UK and @Axel was not up to double check…..

[VaterundSohn]

Yep, that is a damn fine jacket….

So far we haven't seen any single one who doesn't look great in that very special Type I.

And yes, definitely, it's one of many collaborations to come!
Huge thanks again to the crew!

The first shot is a winner … Congrats

The Crew signing in from Bangkok - Thanks.

You let @Axel sleep?!? :o

Only on weekends!

For completeness' sake - here's it after the soak. It is so stiff, that every move makes a sound. Can't wait to beat it into submission.

[Dion]

It fits (even) much better after the soak.

[Finn666]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand ordered!

[Max Power]

^XL? Great choice, you won't regret it.

[theorocks]

@Max Power perfect fit!

yessir…XL it is! let's just hope it'll fit in the end ^^

[Max Power]

If you're still my size - it will. It's crazy how fast the fabric fades, I feel like I can watch it wear off. My white wall also has some indigo stains just from hanging it. I say that with a small concern - I'm not sure wether too extreme contrast is what I'm after on a Type I. But I'm set on finding out.
