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

[Giles]

I always soak first.  I then wash inside out at 30C with the slowest spin the machine does, I then drip dry.  You could always hand wash, that would be safer….

^my method is exact same as Giles and I've never had any weird lines or creasing

[Dion]

I absolutely second this because it's exactly my treatment as well. No probs at all.

[Max Power]

Thanks all. Soaking has been done, but due to the bleeding fabric I think it's safe to stay with the handwashing technique. Damn, I really love this jacket  and the fabric so much, I think of getting the Type III as well.

I'm wearing the vest at the moment…..

back shot please & thank you

[Giles]

It's boring from the back, just looks like IHV-02 without the stripes at the side….

[madmonday]

but it's fun typing back-shot :O)

Great shots @Max Power !

[Finkster]

Hui! … I think the evo-/patina potential of this garment is outstanding.
Can't await the following pics and wrestle still with myself to acquire one.  :-\

Not according to the experts on vinatage-clothing-and-how-to-run-a-clothing-business-profitably on rawr…..

[superfuzz]

Hahaha I love how there's always some asinine discussion about pricing, as if a brand is just gouging customers because they can. As if a quality garment with the best materials and construction isn't expensive to make. I think I first heard about IH 5 years ago and the price has barely changed in that time. It's ridiculous.

Although I do imagine that @Giles lives in a Mansion with servants fanning him with money.

[Broark]

Heh, what do they know anyways?
Let them keep their rainbow-glow-in-the-dark jeans and be happy.
Great looking jacket, if I lived in a cooler climate I'd think about on of these.

Lions don't lose sleep over opinions of sheep (at rawrdenim) :). Great looking jacket and fit @thomas01 !
