What's your favorite Type III jacket from Iron Heart?
-
It seems like the 21oz is the winner here. I was thinking about getting the IH-562-V2, but I might wait. From the pictures, I just liked the darker fabric of the left hand twill. It seems like the 21oz is where it's at though.

so maybe a bit of Lee and a bit less Levi’s for me in the near future?
I always like the look of the Lee type II but the practical nature of the Levi's.

Just to confuse matters the 19oz LHT is the most amazing denim when new. I’m only about 15 wears in to my pair of IH-666-19L-v2 and I have no idea how they’ll age, but new it’s really wonderful stuff and the most interesting IH denim I’ve owned, out of the bag. That being said I’d still rather have 21oz on a jacket.

Do you own 21oz OD? Curious your thoughts on 21oz. I have 17.5 oz pbj jacket and it’s not heavy. I am thinking about 21oz version but al always those are in short length and not

That's not the answer I needed. I just need a "yes, the left hand twill is brilliant. I'd get that any day."
Now I feel like it's Sophie's Choice. No matter what I do I am screwed. -
Oh, alright.
I know that's going to end up happening anyway. -
I have to catch them all, right? Isn't that how it goes?

Ha… It can get that way. As stated, after four years at this I've reached the point where I have everything I need and a little more. I've worn out my first tee's, replaced some basics like thermals/henley's and retired two pairs of jeans. I have a few things I need to sell because of weight loss but never get around to. But I still have more shirts than I need, more jeans than I can use and an intimidating array of jackets. This is not to mention the vest collection that would keep the crew of Peaky Blinders and a medium sized motorcycle gang clothed for a year.
The problem is there are too many fine, fine things that come out. Too many core classics I don't have. And that feeling of picking up something really special and putting your hands on it for the first time is pretty great. Addicted much? Nah.. ::)

Hello all:
I was able to get some awesome type III jackets. Thank to Rob and AJ for all the help. Here are
some pics.The line is IH-526J, IH_2526-J, and IH-69 (haha, 69). Thanks for the input all. And @neph93, you're the one who convinced me to the 21oz. So happy about that.
-
Haha. @neph93, you're the reason I went after the 21oz jacket. I got the left hand twill version, and when that didn't work out (it was too long) I got this one. Much happier. I also like the fact that it's not around anymore.

I wish there is a raw 21oz version of type 3.

Like the type II that's about to come out? That would be sick.

Yes , 18oz is good but I want and like something heavy and raw .

Nice collection, @Wlemon. IH Type 3s are a league apart. And you can never have too many.
-
That's why I can't wait for the overydyed to come back @wdw

In the summer, before I got into Iron Heart, I pre-ordered at Samurai jeans Type 1 that's raw and 25 oz. Should come in soon.
