This is one of my favorite threads to follow regularly. Everyone giving this jacket the life it deserves. Amazing.

@GuyForget Whew talk about necro! Nice pull.
Good jacket too, man. That's a pretty amazing find! The reason I'm here though is for that shirt underneath! Is it the SDA 13oz Kakishibu? I've had my eye on that whole lineup (the 13 and 16oz pieces) for a while now. Love it.

Bump bump bump, bump it up!

Also willing to trade, if someone happens to have a UES Slub that's a little large for them, and is in the size 2-3 range (around 21.4" - 21.9" chest). Not probable, but worth a shot!

@mecken88 This might be the best looking leather jacket I've ever seen. Perfect break in. Never really got into leather jackets much until last year, picked up a field jacket natural from MSC and even though I love it I'm looking for something more like this Y'2 beauty. Time to break out of an almost exclusively cotton wardrobe by this fall!

Everyone's favorite activity: yard work. Although I do despise the heat, it's nice to get out and be productive around the house again. It's 84⁰ all of a sudden. Time to acclimate!

Iron Heart Wabash up top
Pants are from one of Bronson's sister companies. A little lighter weight, much looser fit than my usual 634. My first wear with these and so far they are good in the heat! It helps that I got them for free due to an issue in their warehouse so I feel the need to really put them to use out of appreciation

@FlavourFade Same! It's one of my top 5 for sure.

PayPal FF preferred, G&S accepted if you want to cover the extra few bucks. Letting this go for $85, shipped to Cont. US. from North Carolina

This fairly lightweight sweatshirt is in excellent condition (possibly new, bought second hand and never wore it) and is tagged size 40, which matches up everywhere for me except the length. It has that vintage cropped fit, best to wear with high waisted pants. A bit short, IMO. More like a small medium in length (see length measurement photo)

Measurements:
Pit to pit width: 22in.
Length (from bottom of collar): 22.8in.
Raglan sleeve, no no shoulder seams, but it fits my 18 inch shoulders well. Total sleeve length from the collar is about 29 in.

UES Slub Flannel is lighter than the IH Slub flannel, and I got it for warmer spring months but it is just too small for me.
Looks new to me, but hard to tell with slub fabric for sure. I can't find any evidence of it being worn. No rolling at bottom hem or anything.
Colors are sort of a pinkish beige, white, green, and brown.

Size Measurements (seems close to a size small in Iron Heart flannels):
Length (from bottom of collar): 26in.
Pit to pit: 20.25in.
Shoulder width: 17.25in. straight across, 17.6in. the IH way
Sleeve length: 24.8in.

$130 Shipped to Cont. US
Usually use PayPal FF, no problem with G&S if you want to cover the extra few bucks.

Any questions, etc feel free to message

Agree with @Giles and @Go-For-Chill on sewing being a skill anyone can likely pick up for simple alterations like this. I've put together an entire industrial sewing shop in my garage just keeping an eye out on Facebook marketplace for the past couple years. For all 4 machines (with tables) and even upgrading two of them to servo motors, I've invested a total of $500. While I spent $600, I've gained a life long skill and saved myself, my friends, and my family no less than $2k in alterations costs and I've been able to keep things I would otherwise need to return or resell. Just two nights ago I brought in one of my favorite Iron Heart sweatshirts (IHTB-12-GRY) to keep it from draping so much around the waist, and there's nothing more satisfying than putting on a garment that fits perfectly, knowing it's sized just for you, by you.
It's also opened up a whole other size of shirts I'm able to buy on the second hand market vs being limited to searching for specific dimensions.
10/10 recommend.

@dugafola Anyone tried this with the Kakishibu Sashiko jacket? Unsure about how shrink might affect the sashiko stitching, but I wouldn't mind with bringing it up and in just a bit.

Just FYI - Redcast Heritage has the Tricotine in L, XL, and XXL in stock right now (sizes 3, 4, & 5)

I noticed recently that the ends of my sticks are trying to steal the indigo from my sleeves! In response, today I'm wearing The Untucked duck canvas to try and trick them into turning brown again.

@Chibs That's awesome, thanks for sharing. I'm also 5'11 and 170lbs so I feel much better about my size 3 choice now. I appreciate it!

@Chibs This looks great! One question: those measurements (and the mention of it being Large)... Did you mean to say size 3?
Just making sure, because I've seen wildly different measurements posted between the different stores and most recently the measurements Guilty Party posted have me questioning which size I should get again.
This looks good on you - do you mind sharing your height/weight?

This was the standout piece of the whole collection for me. Awesome

@blue2gnt The Type 3 Slub is my current favorite jacket - totally worth it if you can find one for a good price. I went with that after seeing how short some of the recent type 3 runs were on other models and this one turned out to be perfect.

@Jord Same. Just seeing it for the first time love it

@kojimastreets Gah every time someone brings up the Tricotine and/or the Kersey I feel like I missed a major life event by not snagging either of them when I could have. Lucky ducks.

@freepickin I was thinking the exact same thing: "Any hat would be wonderful" lol
I'm so sad I missed those

The snow came, and brought a lot more than we expected. Doesn't snow here often (maybe once every 4-5 years), so we're pretty excited lol
Dog is very excited. 12 inches is insane.

Hoodie: 3sixteen Heavyweight
Jacket: IH Slub, 16oz
Pants: Simple & Raw 23oz
