@wjw Thanks man; appreciate it. I just went with an XL again as I think I can make it work overall. Needed an OD jacket in my rotation as I sold my OD Lefty due to losing a good amount of weight and it looking like a tent on me. Will report back once the jacket arrives.

@FlavourFade Thanks much for the feedback. If I jump up to a 2XL in the OD, the chest is going to be way too big, so I might just try an XL even though it might be tight.

Damn, seeing these pics of the OD version has me wondering if I should've went that route as some pics make it appear like it's semi-broken in already. What I mean is the front zipper seam, cuff and arm seams as well as other places on the jacket appear to have nice faded lines, whereas other pics of the OD jacket look solid black. Just curious how the jacket looks in real life. Appreciate the pics on here, but it's admittedly hard to tell.

One other question I have for the IH crew is that the measurements on the OD version seem to be a bit smaller than the indigo version; I'm an XL in the indigo model - would I need to size up in the OD version?

Received mine this past Friday, and I echo everyone's positive sentiments; it's really a cool jacket that has some of the Type III DNA, yet is also its own creature. I love the double zipper; totally comes in handy when I'm in the car. I also really like the material this jacket is made out of; I swear on my walk with the dog this morning, I was looking at the different areas that are starting to get creases and could see flecks of different twill fades. Yeah, I'm in the honeymoon phase, but this is one I'm looking forward to wearing (and fading) for a long time!!

Well, hell…the FOMO got me. Found my size at one of your American dealers and ordered it. @SamD fades sold me.

@SamD Thanks much Sam; appreciate the info. Unfortunately, it looks like I waited too long as you're sold out in my size. Guess I'll have to enjoy it from afar.

@SamD Your fades on this jacket are epic!! Wow. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need another jacket, as I'm still working on my IH-526J-142ib as far as fades go, but this new model really looks unique. Question: Is this jacket at all similar the Kersey Work Jacket? For some reason, I was never able to bond with that model.

@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?

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!!
