Well the day has come, and so damn quickly I might add; on Monday evening, I confirmed my snap upgrades and a last-minute size change (thanks again for the patience Graham and Bailey!), and it arrived In San Francisco today! Got home late from work and not the best lighting, but here are some initial pics. Cant wait to get this piece in the sunlight, because the deep indigo is so gorgeous! I’m stoked on my size adjustment from original order of Medium down to a Small after careful consideration of how I wanted to wear this, which was as a lighter spring coat, that I could layer if needed but wanted a slimmer, more fitted look. I’m 5’8, 156, 39.5” chest, and this small fits perfect. I layered easy with a thick samurai tee, and a decently thick hoodie. The copper snap upgrade was something I was eager to see, and it’s even better than I hoped. Don’t sleep on this piece yall!! Thanks again to IH for a beautiful new jacket!

I’ve lived here 10 years, but took the scenic route to work today on the Vespa to give the new OD the tourist tour of SF. Beautiful morning here. This city never gets old. Even got to stop by Arsicault Bakery in my neighborhood, and digging their Pride spirit️

What can I say, this Denim is amazing and I’m so stoked to have been able to snag a piece in each the indigo and the overdyed varieties! I was initially most excited about the CPO, and don’t get me wrong, It’s incredible, but the OD type iii is so freaking sleek! Here are some photos of each individually, and layered to see both together! Also curious if folks can comment on how much the CPO will shrink in a cold soak. I gambled on the size, and I was fine with it being a little large and wearing it like a shacket, but the length is definitely something I would like to see shrink a little bit. Short torso guy here, so it’s just an issue for me, but a very small one at that! I love these pieces!

Well, a bit of a wild update here! Per my earlier post in this thread, the XL I thought I had tracked down through a seller on Facebook Iron Heart marketplace, which ended up ultimately being a purchase through eBay with the seller, was coming from a retailer in China he had tracked down, and after about three weeks of highly anticipated waiting, and like a young child on Christmas, I tore through the packaging only to find that the IHSH-368 was staring me in the face.. needless to say, I was pretty crushed. Apparently, there was a mixup somewhere along the way, and after many apologies from the Facebook seller, we set up the return process, and aside from some hurt feelings on my part, there was no damage done.

When I tell you I have been on the hunt for the shirt for the past eight months, I mean it! I went through all of the retailers posted In the original post, searching far and wide! And as you all know, this baby was sold out.

Ever since then, I have been checking in several times a week on all of the marketplace to see if one was popping up for sale. I thought I was being very diligent on the marketplace here on the forum, but two weeks ago, I stumbled across a post that I clearly missed from @Miiks back in October that he was selling his. I had very little faith that it was still available, but you never know, so I hit him up. Low and behold, he informed me it sold quite some time ago. And then a few days later, this SAINT of a man hit me up, saying that he stumbled across one for sale online, and he sent me the link. I couldn’t believe my eyes ! When I got onto Pinkomo’s site and saw that they had a medium still available! Are you freaking kidding me?!? The exact size that I have been hoping and praying for all these months, was still available!? I don’t think I’ve ever so frantically purchased an item before my life!

After my last experience, I was still holding my breath a tiny bit (unnecessarily, as Pinkomo is a pro-status shop). It arrived yesterday in pristine condition, in a beautifully wrapped box, so a massive shout out to the boys over at Pinkomo!

And so this, thanks to @Miiks and Pinkomo, is how I was able to track down, what I believe to be, maybe the last one of these for sale in the world!

It just goes to show that with a little bit of luck, persistence, and the wielding of the Almighty power of Iron Heart Forum, pipe dreams can come true!

Sunshine saturation, this thing rocks..

Bump.

@xtrevorx I sized down from my usual medium in the work shirt to a small based off of measurements and how I wanted to wear this. It fits slightly larger than my typical medium, but I definitely noticed the tightness in the forearms and cuffs. It’s manageable for me when I wear it as a shirt, but when I slip the hoodie underneath it, I just unbutton the cuffs and it resolves that issue for me. Maybe worth a try

Bump.

@hugothecowboy yes, would be shipping from CA

Got a hold of this in the western cut from Japan, but ultimately decided to stick with the workshirt cut. Never worn, tags still on! I paid $400 with shipping included, so asking for the same CONUS.

Measured the IH way
Chest: 21.9”

Yup. Eagle landed today and it is just divine. Careful. Your 1st turns into your 6th reeeeal quick..

@tvaillant75 do you know how many threads I could just copy and paste your comment into, and for it to hold true! I really do appreciate your support in my addiction, though!

This jacket is awesome, I love mine so much!

damn you all....i did so good holding out and controlling myself. One can only take so much praise of a new release before he breaks. Scored the last size S I could find from Rivet and Hyde. Let my anticipation commence!

Ordered online, but I needed to size up after trying these on. Brand new with tags. They were washed once by the retailer, so no shrinkage to be expected.
