@worn2fade Dude, thank you so much!! I give all coolness credit to the jacket.

So the jacket arrived, and it fits great!! The sleeves are a little long when I’m standing straight up, but I expect them to shrink a bit once the creases set in. That same extra length is totally welcome when I’m driving, as the sleeves don’t creep up my forearm, but rather hit my wrists just about perfectly.

The color of this jacket is amazing. There’s an almost “wet” look to it, and the underlying ultraviolet colors that come out when the light hits it just right, lends credence to what a friend of mine told me about this model long ago: the Atari fades you can get if you stick with it are absolutely insane.

Game on!!

Has an almost dark violet / inky appearance; amazing!!

@Phil_NYC Looks really good on you!! I’m guessing the dark indigo will lighten up fairly quickly (depending on how much you wear it), and produce some vibrant fades.

Seeing your pics is giving me serious FOMO for this model…

@Conan Glad to hear this one worked out for you. I'll be interested to see some real life photos from people who purchased this model. I'm still on the fence, but realistically am thinking this may not work out for me.

@Gavin666 Heard back from Iron Heart, and it looks like they don't have anything close to 26 inches in the sleeve length for this run. Same thing with Rivet and Hide. As much as I like this jacket, I may need to sit this one out. Still debating.

@Gavin666 Thanks much for the suggestion; I just sent them an email about this. Hopefully things will work out.

Hey Iron Heart Crew, so I'm close to all the measurements in the 2XL in this model except the sleeves; based on the measurements, they seem exceptionally long. I took measurements against my IH-526J-SLBod, and the sleeve length on mine is 26 inches (which fits me good). I'm just wondering if the extra 1.6 inches on the sleeve of the IH-526J-142ib is going to look silly. Will the arm length get shorter by chance once creases set in?

@Bailey Great comparison shot!! Will the 526LOD be getting restocked as well?

@Ross said in IH-526J-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo/Black:

I'm trying to post my "Yes" vote on this poll, but for some reason it's not registering. Regardless, I plan on picking this model up.

@AdamJ Awesome; thank you for letting me know!!

Hey Guys, is this still on track for a January 2026 restock?

@AdamJ Gotcha; thanks much!!

@AdamJ Thanks for letting me know about the 526J-142ib; I may jump on one of those, but I admittedly had my heart set on a smaller 526LOD as it seems like it will survive the apocalypse. I can "make" mine work, but it looks a bit strange on me, especially in the shoulders and sleeves.

Any estimate as to when the 526J-142ib model restock will be arriving?

Hoping the Iron Heart crew can chime in here: are there any plans to restock this model any time soon? The one I have is great, however I've lost weight and need to size down. Everywhere I've checked is sold out in the size I would need, either an XL or 2XL. Any info is appreciated!!

@Mizmazzle Thanks much!! Even though I own the OD version of this model (which I love), I ended up springing for the 526L from this batch, as I found one for a pretty good deal and couldn't resist. Hopefully it will work out; if not, I figure I can always sell it!!

@Mizmazzle Your fades are epic!! How long did it take for you to get those types of results? Looks great!!

I've been sitting on the sidelines for awhile as I bought both the Self Edge / Iron Heart collaboration as well as the 526 LOD. Additionally, my plan was to get the original "Lefty" in indigo as I've wanted one for years. With all that being said, the 526 LOD seemed to have chosen me, as it's just about perfect in what I'm looking for and what I hope to get many miles out of. No disrespect to the other jackets, especially the "Lefty", but I know the LOD is ready for concerts as well as skateboarding with my son (we do longboarding as well as surfskating). Fall is just around the corner, and this special piece of armor that is already forming itself to my body by just wearing it around the house during sweltering summer days outside seems ready to rock and roll. Not sure if this adds to the commentary, but just wanted to chime in anyway. Smoke em if you got em!!

@Luijim78 Thanks much for your detailed info as well as the comparison pictures. When I was looking at the sizing between the OD Lefty and the Indigo Lefty, it almost looks like I should go with a size smaller in the Indigo, as even with shrinkage, it's still going to be a bit too big. Unfortunately, the smaller size in the Indigo is sold out, so I waited too long to jump on it. Not the end of the world given I have the LOD, but I've always wanted an Indigo Lefty as well. Think I will sell the Self Edge / Iron Heart collaboration jacket so I have the funds available if the Indigo Lefty becomes available at one of Iron Heart's retail partners.

Anyway, thanks again @Luijim78 for your help!!

@Luijim78 Hey, if you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for your lefty to start showing fades like that? I recently bought the Self Edge / Iron Heart OD collaboration as well as the 526LOD, and I'm trying really hard not to purchase the indigo 526L, but I've wanted one for awhile and the whole FOMO thing is real. The 526LOD is amazing and is a keeper but I'm still really intrigued with the indigo 526L. Really like the electric blue pops on yours.
