IH-526J-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo/Black
-
Hey Iron Heart Crew, so I'm close to all the measurements in the 2XL in this model except the sleeves; based on the measurements, they seem exceptionally long. I took measurements against my IH-526J-SLBod, and the sleeve length on mine is 26 inches (which fits me good). I'm just wondering if the extra 1.6 inches on the sleeve of the IH-526J-142ib is going to look silly. Will the arm length get shorter by chance once creases set in?
-
@Nostradamion only by a tiny bit. Ask the guys first the closest sleeve possible to 26” and they will confirm what they have found before shipping. When I got mine in last run sleeves were a silly length too but rivet and hide had one nearly an inch shorter
-
@Gavin666 Thanks much for the suggestion; I just sent them an email about this. Hopefully things will work out.
-
@Gavin666 Heard back from Iron Heart, and it looks like they don't have anything close to 26 inches in the sleeve length for this run. Same thing with Rivet and Hide. As much as I like this jacket, I may need to sit this one out. Still debating.
-
@Nostradamion I have the opposite problem, as I usually find the sleeves too short. I lose around .25” in sleeve length from creasing, depending on the fabric. Some successfully shrink their sleeves by washing on hot with high spin. Between that and asking for a shorter sleeve, I’m confident you’ll get something that makes you happy. If all else fails, some cuff their sleeves or get them tailored.
I’ve been looking to purchase a denim Iron Heart Type III jacket for about two years, but the sleeves have always been too short for me. I just purchased this jacket because the measurements are more ideal for me. I would recommend signing up for restocks, as most of Iron Heart’s jackets will probably have better measurements for your body. I embrace and appreciate the variance in sizing because it means more people can ultimately find their perfect fit, but it can require some extra patience.

@Conan Glad to hear this one worked out for you. I'll be interested to see some real life photos from people who purchased this model. I'm still on the fence, but realistically am thinking this may not work out for me.
-
Just got mine today. Loving it. Way darker in person than the photos, it looks almost black.
I was nervous about the smaller than typical chest measurement for an XL but the guys found me a slightly bigger one.
Photos with a thermal underneath.

@Phil_NYC Looks really good on you!! I’m guessing the dark indigo will lighten up fairly quickly (depending on how much you wear it), and produce some vibrant fades.
Seeing your pics is giving me serious FOMO for this model…
-
@Phil_NYC once you’re out in daylight, it almost glows. It’s a very cool blue! Looks like it fits perfect!
-
I'm hoping to find a place to try these on in person, but Franklin and Poe hasn't listed anything new from ironheart back in a while, so wondering if they will get these. I guess I should try emailing them. For some reason Iron shop provisions has completely different measurements for this model.
-
@Blanco it’s the way they measure them. A lot of stores don’t measure as precisely either. Plus each piece varies. Email Josh with measurements you require

Mine arrived yesterday. Seeing the 14oz thickness, I plan to wear it on warmer days. So I chose it tighter on the body so that only a t-shirt can fit. Good day everyone.

Will an IB jacket bleed onto tshirts etc?
I just got a new 14 oz. indigo black modified Type 3.
I couldn't be happier, I absolutely love it. Fantastic fabric, great fit.
I was registered for updates for the last six months and bought it the first day that the restock came out!
But now I have a question. Given that the inside is black not white, will the way that the fabric is treated mean that the black color could rub off onto for example light-colored T-shirts or tops?
Or is that unlikely to happen? I'm going to avoid wearing white shirts and t-shirts but it would be good to know how concerned I should be about bleed from the inside.
Thanks for any advice and I highly recommend this jacket to anyone who's been thinking of it!
-
@goosehd thanks!
-
I am surprised how little mine is bleeding / crocking on either side. My hands were practically blue after every time I touched my lefty type 3.

Hello, I ordered my frirst ever Denim Jacket - any honestly I'm super happy with this decision.
I ordered in the first min after the restock, based on the new messurments chart, I had to go with XXXL, but I sent an email to the team to find me a one with shorter sleeves and less width in shoulders. and here we go, 2 days after the order... Knock, knock...
After the test fit, I soak it in hot water for an hour, agitating it every 15 minutes to ensure the shrinkage is completely out. Before it got completely dry with the drip dry, I wore it 50% wet for a day and a half. Then I repeated the soak again. Here's how it looks now.
I don't know how does it look along with the IH 142ib - happy to hear from you.
I can't wait to see how it will fade..
and not sure how I will be able to able to wear this jacket in the hot/warm weather here in Dubai !! -
Color on these is so good.
