IH-527J - 21oz Denim Rider's Jacket - Indigo
-
@Giles ,This really is a great jacket. As you know I just wore it to Gosport, I decided this will be this years winter jacket. I get more compliments on this jacket than almost anything I wear. Today by a flight attendant on boarding my flight, then by the hotel receptionist.

My Rider about a year after taking the initial pics. It has softened up a lot but it's still fighting me. I plan to really try to wear this more/a lot this Fall-Spring.
This truly is such a functional jacket for the purpose it was designed (riding a motorcycle)… It's perfect really.
-
This jacket is terrific! I can't wait to get to my blanket lined one waiting for me at the house! I'm working out of state. The wait is driving me crazy.
-
@Filthy25ozJunkie you will love the 527J-SP - the blanket and insulated sleeves really do keep you nice and warm. I upsided mine so I can wear hoodies underneath when it's really cold out and works like a charm.
@Bluegrass perfect fit on your rider jacket! Looks like the combs around the elbows are getting nice and set in!
-
Thanks - yes, the elbows are looking good - this one is going to be really slow to break in, but the pics I've seen of well-worn 527Js tell me it is going to be fantastic. Having a sedentary job makes it hard to get much "hard" wear under my belt. Patience is my only choice and it will pay off eventually…
-
Looks great @Bluegrass what size is that?
-
P.S. @georgeel how is yours coming along?
It's still my N°1 midseason jacket! I wore it on a t-shirt until the other day. It has been hard to break-in, but now is as comfortable and soft as a good old pair of 634s.

I'm still amazed. I have not worn this jacket in about 7 months. I must say it's my probably all time favorite, but I get more compliments on this jacket than anything Iron Heart that I wear. I left Charlotte, NC. today 70 degrees F. Arrived in Minneapolis to 38 degrees F wearing it. I'm working in Mankato, MN. went into a Hy-Vee store and was complimented 2 times on it.
-
@Giles , how well do these jackets sell? Have there been other variants made, besides the blanket lined ones? Unless something else shows up down the road, I think this will be my next denim jacket once I've beaten the first zip to a shadow of what it once was (will be a few more years).

That could be a nice cool summer jacket! Will keep my eye out.
