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

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

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

uh oh.......

Just another update (spam) of the evolution of my y2 chore jacket…..a bit more of the camel underneath is starting to come through…..I just love this thing more, every time I wear it

inspired by @pechelman and his amazing new jacket, I decided I definitely needed something cherry as well, so managed to track down this one - I love the colour, a deep, dark maroon/purple/red, maybe a little shinier than I am used too, but think it will age nicely!

ordered this at the end of last year from 'Black Bear Brand' and it has just turned up - it is one of their hand dyed versions of the Y2 N1

finally managed to snag a second hand wills!.....went for a size large and it fits perfectly, with enough room to get a hoodie/UHF underneath, so very pleased with it.......I am really liking the quality and fit of the ship John stuff, (and the gold hardware they use too) - definitely worth trying to get your mitts on one

i recently bought the IB-141 new, and also picked up an EB-140 second hand (although it was practically new) and i absolutely love the pair of them.
Both size 40, and i am usually a large in most iron heart shirts and jackets.

I especially find the colour of both jackets really beautiful, the green one has some real depth to it that is hard to see in photos.
The Eb 140 is also a bit thicker/heavier than the IB141, so is better if its a bit colder outside with the indigo more of a lighter, everyday jacket

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

@ARNC I saw them in Manchester last night.....amazing and I am still recovering

@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.....

@Johnnyutah247 sorry I can't comment on the comparison with the other boots (as I haven't tried them) but my RDT Caspers arrived today and all I can say is they are an incredibly nice boot, you can't really go wrong with them.

it seems this one has been insanely popular as its sold out pretty much everywhere - just wondering what it is about it, just the colour choice or maybe the more muted/faded look?......or does everyone just love a bit of watermelon?

@mecken88 will keep you updated.....but to be honest it doesn't feel that heavy to me, just the same sort of weight as a good leather jacket really, but then again maybe I am just used to heavier jackets these days.

the only thing I do find strange about it though is the zip feels like it is on the wrong side to me - as in the zip pull is on the right hand side of the zip instead of the left (when wearing the jacket) - just feels wrong!

@Denimhead-0 yeah, I would say so, I am usually a large and it pretty much fits like a glove

@dugafola I got it second hand online, but it’s in great condition and was a good price - I haven’t had much luck trying to buy things new from ship John directly as the demand is always too high and I am too slow…..but really happy I finally managed to pick one up

@Mizmazzle exactly what Derek111 said…..it’s really supple and soft to the touch and just gets more so with wear. It’s easily my most comfortable jacket, just the right thickness and weight to feel substantial but not too heavy - just perfect

@Denimhead-0 To be fair, it probably is worth dying for
