Thanks, gents! I assumed it was probably the 142 in a slimmer cut, but the texture and vintage fades had me wondering if it might be a well-worn sample of the new 16oz.
Suffice it to say, I believe you lot may have just unintentionally cross-marketed me (back) into Iron Heart denim...
(Boots are FIRE, btw.)
What pair of denim is Sam B wearing in the above shots?
@Alex stealth bomber may or may not land in May..?
@PDXPean IH hot washes most (all?) of their non-leather/technical clothing at the end of production, if I'm not mistaken. Thusly, soaking is redundant, and shrinkage will typically be very minimal.
Plenty of stretch with this fabric though.
F(r)iends helping f(r)iends: check your Chats @Northman
I have been waiting for these in olive... It looks amazing but I'm gutted it's not Ventile (or eVent).
On second thought, don't make it in brown. I will be powerless not to buy.
I love how matte/faded these are right out of the box. Black for those of us who don't wear black.
I'm a great admirer of most tonal, classic IH gear, but heavily lean towards the light- and mid-weight stuff, as one can get so much more year-round wear out of it. I may need to pick this one up after all...
Those are washed and the product photos of both colors show pretty significant initial fading, so I'd bet these are fast faders. It doesn't feel too light? I don't think I've owned a cotton jacket that weighs less than 12oz.
What are your impressions of the fabric/weight?
It's been on my S/S Want list, but I may be stuck between sizes on this one, on account of the wider body... The cut on the indigo/black 14oz Type III is indeed the gold standard.

@Chaintitch not a bad idea, but I think the leather may have been super limited so I don't know how easy a rerun / new colour would be
@Alex ...Seeing as how both IHUK and SE both still have this product page up: any plans for either?
@DeeDee85 I figured but didn't want to doom scroll in futility.
Back on topic: the 147 looks great! I love short (hand-pocketed) jackets with long sleeves...

(I missed this... Info??)
@Alex can y'all run this in black, with a non-wavy nickel zip? I promise you will sell ALL of them. Immediately.
@jaliskoe that is a fine piece of machinery, brother...
Just came in.
Glad I sized down from my usual UHF size.
Hope the sleeves shorten up a bit with wear.

Awesome. I want a grey one!
