Y2 N1 with relatively new IH-555S-21od

love the way this jacket is evolving already.......

IHJ-116
IHSH-401 (lovin' it!)
555S-142

this just landed and I can confirm that it is very, very nice.......

(and as a bonus it's also got six pockets!)

Finally!.....managed to get my paws on one of these bad boys....(chefs kiss)

a couple of days ago my boy told me that 'all my clothes say iron heart on them'.....and that when he's older he wants to dress like me! - my work here is done

After loving all the photos @Oaktavia has posted I was inspired to try and track one of these down (somehow I totally missed the original release!) and I recently managed to pick up a brand new one in a size large.
I think a medium probably would have been my ideal fit to be honest, as It is fine when buttoned up and just a bit baggy at the back when un buttoned. But as chore jackets tend to be a bit looser/oversized I think I can just about get away with it, plus it works well for layering. - but it is such a great jacket, I love it and so I think I can just overlook any size issues and just wear it in a looser fitting style

@SonnyTheElder I was wearing my grizzly in the supermarket last winter and some guy said to me 'my wife would be stroking your back if she saw your jacket'....I just smiled and said 'well, thats the idea' - but he didn't find it funny.....

I really like the idea of UHFs that are not just the traditional check designs

Still my favourite shorts, wish I had bought two pairs

@hgering27 looks great - I haven't taken mine off for weeks now, although it is starting to move a bit more into Kristofferson season here recently

@Bobcat-Sig yeah, i'm not trying to be a downer on Mike or ship John as I absolutely love the items I have managed to pick up and I totally understand things are limited. But I just prefer when they announce the date/time something is dropping (just like IH do) so it at least gives everyone a chance to try and snag something......the random drops make it nearly impossible (especially in a different time zone) but as I say, it is what it is and its not a major issue in the big scheme of things - I will continue to try and support them as the ship John items are some of my favourite pieces I own

@RubyRae yeah same - been waiting/checking every day since the day instagram post and then it drops without warning while I’m asleep (an hour earlier and I would have still been awake) so pretty bummed out

@mecken88 the problem I always face with a lot of brands (iron heart/ship John/Y2 etc) is most of my body measurements are suited to a medium fit, but my chest measurement is always more of a large fit......so I either have to go fitted and can't really button things up, or I have to go looser all round and can actually button up. So I find mediums maybe look a little better on me, but large is always just more practical/wearable for my weird torso!

@mecken88 looks great……I haven’t taken mine off since I got it!

I came home drunk from a night out and managed to stay awake long enough to get one! …….went for a large like my ramblin’ so hopefully it will work out

Still my favourite shorts, wish I had bought two pairs

@FlavourFade well, I did what you said, and it has shrunk up nicely......now it is absolutely perfect, so thank you so much!

@FlavourFade - I will certainly give this a try - thanks! ( it is such a nice jacket I will be wearing it even if it was 4 times too big )
