Y2 IR-42, IHSH-389-IND, 888-nin

Seeing the Withered Fig guy:

Indigo Single Rider (IR-42). Around 20 wears in, getting some creasing on the arms and shoulder mobility is getting better… but this is going to take I think ~100 wears before it’s comfortable!

I’m sorry, did you say -TWENTY ONE- oz work shirt?

It allows me to add some IH hall of fame pieces to my cart. For free!!

7 wears in; XXL on 6’1”, 210 pounds. The arms were quite tight initially, but have loosened up nicely with wear!

For what it’s worth, I used to be a huge Arc’teryx fan. They were subsequently sold to Anta (a Chinese company), who left the BCI (better cotton initiative) to continue using cotton from the Xinjiang region of China (where forced/slave labor of Uighar muslims to work crop fields has been reported). Of course, I’m not an international trade expert, or cotton expert, or clothing expert, or… you get the point. I also don’t support 3Sixteen (India) and Post O’alls (China) for reasons in the same bucket. Again, I’m not an expert, I can’t say I have even a tenth of the information, and I could be completely wrong in my decision.

Iron heart appears to be a company that supports ethical manufacturing, fair pay for workers, environmentally conscious sourcing and development practices, and just plain appears to treat people well. It’s becoming harder and harder to find clothing companies to purchase from that can say all of those things. So, very grateful to you guys and the work that you do!

1. That 21 oz monster sashiko shirt
2. The duck bomber I’m going to wear over it
3. The Tiger camo pants I’ll be wearing with the above combo as we survive the post-apocalyptic wasteland

Damn, this is probably one of the fastest sellers in recent IH memory. Went from 5 XXL to 0 in a matter of 8 mins

Damn you all. In for one from Iron Shop Provisions

Did anyone size down in this from their typical IH type 3 sizing?

@Daniel-San they look beautiful! Where did you get them from?

@dirtyframer apart from calling them, not that I’m aware of, unfortunately!

@dirtyframer no online shopping yet… But they are very receptive to shipping anything they have in store out, and are incrediblyhelpful with sizing!

New stockist Grit General? Great store!

@jordanscollected ah, haven’t seen the pics, just saw a blurb mention in the email today!

Looks like Self Edge is getting (exclusive?!) broken twill CPO shirts (!)

Are we doing apple pay or shop pay, boys? Thanks for the advice.

…?

@popvulture said in IHSB-EXT-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Natural Horsehide Type III Jacket:

@ShopatIronHeart what leather is this using now? Color sort of looks like Blattwerk but texturally not so much. IHG's site said Italian horsehide I think. I'd love to know more.

Also a little bewildered by the small shoulder measurements on these. XXL is under 18" which would def make it a no-go for me, sadly, especially considering this one doesn't have a bi-swing back. I've been eyeing a natural jacket for years and wouldn't mind this being the one, but it'd have to have bigger shoulders, I'd imagine.

Will leave to the experts, but I ordered this on the assumption that it’s the prior Italian Horsehide (the old Pale Rider leather), rather than the new Blattwerk leather. I’m an XXL in almost all IH tops and went with an XXL in this jacket (as all non-shoulder measurements were ideal). The widest shoulder they had was 44 cm. I’ve got 2 other IH Simmons Bilt jackets and the XXL was perfect in both (and slightly roomy for layering), so I’m hoping that’ll continue. We’ll see if I’ve made a horribly expensive mistake!
