    • RE: IHJ-165-ODG - 6.2oz Serge Drizzler Jacket - Olive Drab Green

      My most worn Iron Heart jacket is the IHJ-113-OD - 10oz Selvedge Denim Drizzler Jacket - Indigo Overdyed Black thanks to the casual collar.

      So this drizzler really appealed to me, I also quite like pairing olive colour jackets with denim pants. I already have a seam ripper to remove leather patches, so I gave it a go on the embroidery and after a wash the puncture marks are only very faintly visible on the outside (quite visible on the inside), not enough for people to notice.

      The description mentions that this "high-density serge weave" is "slightly brushed for a soft hand feel" ... and wow yeah it feels so nice, almost reminds me of how leather cuffs sometimes feel super soft.

      The way this fabric also crinkles / drapes is pretty sweet.

      Highly recommend.

    • RE: IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG

      I have 14oz, but no 21,23,25oz. Seriously considering getting these 21oz in a size up, as a comfy warmer, thicker, pair for lounging around the house in winter.

    • RE: IHJ-131-RED - CORDURA® Windbreaker - Red

      Are the measurements for the Medium correct (smaller than the small) or a typo?

      I've been loving the IHJ-85-RED Harrington. This CORDURA shell jacket looks great, though personally I might prefer it without a storm cuff for more durability/ruggedness.

      Could someone explain what about this makes it Dry Clean only?

    • RE: IHSH-366-IND - 8oz Herringbone Hickory Stripe Work Shirt - Indigo

      For those who are interested here is a comparison of the 12oz IHSH-274-IND and this 8oz IHSH-366-IND:

      comparison.jpg

      Do I regret owning both? No, they are different enough; I really really like the insides of both, which are visibly on display when the sleeves are rolled up. If I could only buy one I would have to pick the IHSH-366-IND due to it's weight and hand.

      Right out of the "box", as anticipated, this fabric has a really great hand to it!

      Here are fit pics of Medium:

      I think the Medium fits great, except for the the forearm. On my IHSH-274-IND the forearm is 32cm, on the IHSH-366-IND it's 28.4cm & 29.0cm. (Forearm measured 22cm up from sleeve opening.) I'm contemplating moving up to a Large however think the shoulders will be too big, might have to ask if the IH crew can check the forearm measurement on the remaining Mediums.

      Jeans with black warp and cream weft ... so IH-888S-142BLK.

      We have a load of that in 21oz, that no one was interested in when we released it.....

      Huh okay. That would explain why I can't recall ever seeing black/cream jeans before. I feel like there's so many indigo products but I guess that's what the market wants.

    • RE: IHJ-109-BLK - 12oz Wabash Work Jacket - Black

      Thought so, thanks Adam.

      This black wabash in medium would be an instant buy for me if brought back in the future.

    • RE: IHJ-109-BLK - 12oz Wabash Work Jacket - Black

      Catching the wabash fever.

      Is the chance of this ever coming back basically non-existent, especially given the production challenges with the 12oz wabash?

      If so, how close to an M might an L be able to be shrunk?

    • RE: IHSH-07-IND - 12oz Hickory Stripe Western Shirt - Indigo

      Is the restock just western or work too? Trying to establish if I should stay up late for the work shirt, don’t want to miss it.

    • RE: IHSH-189-BRN - 17oz Duck CPO Work Shirt - "The UnTucked" - Brown

      For those interested here's a comparison.

      IH-2526J after 27 wears. I personally find the IH-2526J about ~1.5 inch too short. Though I still haven't found somewhere to buy a 24 ~ 24.25" white shirt yet (to match my Medium IH-526J-142 which is 24.2"). The collar is stiffer so can be worn popped up.

      IHSH-189-BRN after 3 wears. I sized down in the IHSH-189-BRN with the intention to wear it with just a tee. The heavy duty copper snaps are quite nice, with beefed up male sides. The material on the back I think will drape a bit nicer with more wear. The way the combs are forming on the arms is quite nice.

      | | Left | Right |
      | Item | IHSH-189-BRN | IH-2526J |
      | Item Size | Small | Medium |
      | Item Length | 28.9 (73.4cm) | 23.1 (58.7cm) |
      | Tee Length | 26 (66cm) | 24.75 (62.9cm) |
