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

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

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

@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

the Bends is very much the sound of the 90s, whereas the time period Kid A encapsulates just hasn't happened yet

absolutely loving these - been wearing them all weekend.......I also now know I would love a pair of 17oz duck IH-777D jeans in this colour please!

@tvaillant75 this has been my problem, the chest measurements tend to be a little too snug on a lot of y2 jackets unless I go a size up, which I find works best as if the shoulders are a little large they will shape to fit the more you wear it (especially if the jacket gets wet) I have found the jackets tend to shrink down more rather than stretch out

@tvaillant75 i've had a few y2 jackets and in my experience its better to get something slightly bigger - if it fits perfect on day one it will feel tighter down the road, whereas slightly oversized on day one will from around you to a comfier fit......its a lot like the heavier denim thing before and after an initial soak/wash

@Marc2706 looks amazing.....I really love the olive colour! I have been thinking about picking up one of their burgundy or light indigo offerings, but that olive is also very tempting

My first purchase from freenote cloth and I must say I am very happy - I really like the look of it, it has a nice 70s retro vibe (which I love) it fits perfectly, feels great and all in all is very well made - my only gripe would be the zipper which I think could be a bit heftier (maybe I am just used to iron heart!) but overall very impressed. It is a great summer jacket and looking forward to seeing it shape and evolve.......I will be sure to see what else freenote have to offer

@mecken88 seeing as your Y2 kakishibu chore shirt is a size 42 then I would say the large in the Kristofferton should be spot on....congrats!

@RLG212 when I first got my Kristofferson the sleeves definitely felt too long and I had to turn up the cuffs......but now after months of wear I have turned the cuffs back down and the sleeve length is fine as they have shrunk up a bit with wear/creasing.

@northsouthdenimguy I'm currently saving up for one

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

@rewseph said in Ship John:

would anyone who owns both a wills and a kristofferson mind commenting on the sizing difference?

i own a wills and the shoulder to shoulder seems a lot smaller in the kristofferson but i’ve also heard people say sizing up was a mistake for them.

@rewseph I have both jackets in size Large, and the actual shoulder measurement for both is 19" across, so they pretty much fit the same.......I would say you should be ok with your Wills size in the Kristofferson too - well, at least in my experience anyway!

I always loved the surprise of receiving the vouchers, but in no way do I expect them - I love iron heart for what you produce, and any changes to help that continue is fine with me. I'm not here for any freebies but because I really appreciate the quality of your products and service.....thats what gets my loyalty every time
