Thank you guys. @Mizmazzle I can confirm, the nice drapping and how ridiculously soft it is now. It‘s just THE perfect weight for a denim jacket. Funnily enough I got enough comments from non-Iron Heart people how heavy this jacket was
Wore my jacket today while running errands today, and had someone stop me at Costco and ask about it. Dude was in total wonderment as to how soft the jacket is, yet he too commented about how heavy it is. I guess when you're used to store brand denim jackets, or even some newer Levis, Iron Heart at 14oz's is still a heavyweight for the uninitiated.
Sidenote, @beef_bonanza your jacket looks killer; I can't believe how blue it is, and the fades are incredible!! Mine is still holding onto it's original solid black color, so I've definitely got much work yet to do with it. Every time I wear it however, I still marvel at just how soft the fabric is; it's literally from a galaxy far, far away!!

@Nostradamion Thanks man. To be frank the colour is really different depending on the light and camera settings and super hard to capture accurately. While I am not saying this wasn't a rather "blue" day, there are also days and light where it appears more like a dull black and even the fades show minimum blue tones. If you check my previous pictures on this thread you'll see what I mean. However, this is really cool about it and I cannot wait so see how it progresses further.
@Mizmazzle I think we are all heavily biased by wearing too much Iron Heart. A lot of high quality stuff from other brands seems light to us even though it's pretty substantial compared to the stuff 99% of people are buying on highstreet.

Checking out OD Type III's and wonder how different the feel is between this 14oz and upcoming 19oz lefty OD restock. I have the indigo 19oz lefty, and it remains super crunchy. Tempted to go comfort first with the 14oz, despite knowing that the lefty will be significantly easier to wear as compared to the indigo version...

@denim-dawg thanks man. Wearing it almost constantly lately. Pretty rewarding:
-
@beef_bonanza Whooo! Look at THAT! NICE NICE NICE
-
@Tago-Mago 14oz OD really is beautiful how it fades. Nice chalky blues.
-
Slow fader.....

-
@beef_bonanza oooh yeah!! Looks like an indigo jacket now! Holy smokes, it looks fantastic.
-
Thank you @Oaktavia - as mentioned before, the overdyed fabric is really light sensitive when it comes to photographing. It might appear a bit more blue than in reality in these shots as it was a bright day. So the difference to before wash is not that big. However as you can see, the character of the fabric is really coming through now.
-
@beef_bonanza Either way, at some point and with this type of lighting, it does not lie. The jacket may appear darker in lower light, but do not sell yourself short- you are killing this jacket.

Absolutely and the jacket is too damn good not to do so. Also I consider the high amount of black dye a good thing. It really adds a special flavour compared to „just“ indigo.
For sure man, I'm glad we both have OD jackets. I think OD looks best in jacket form.

Grabbed one of these in my size on self edge. Was waiting for a SEXI25 but this will check three boxes that one doesn't. 1. The old style sulphur OD. 2. A lighter weight denim perfect for summer. 3. The oxidized buttons
. Also, imo $525 is a lot of money for something with no track record. Nope not a gambler

I’ve had one of these for a while now. It’s not as light as one might think. The OD process definitely adds some heft. I do love it though.
