I’ll give some reference material here. I’m 6’4 and 190 pounds. I typically wear XL to XXL in Iron Heart, the vast majority of my Iron Heart outerwear is XL with a few in XXL where I needed extra length. I could wear a L in a lot of Iron Heart if I wanted something really tight and fitted. I wear Ship John in a large for a Wills, there’s still extra room in the chest at my current weight.

I have a Henry, Tom and Scar from Y2. The Henry is a 44 and has always been very fitted on me, it was almost too tight when I crept up to 210 pounds this winter. I bought the Tom in a 46, if’s definitely big on me in the chest, especially after loosing some weight. I’m hoping it drapes a bit better once it’s broken in, it’s very stiff leather compared to my other two. The scar I purchased in a 44 and would say it’s one of my best fitting jackets. I could layer in it if I wanted to but it looks good without. Not too tight or loose. I find the leather jackets definitely look weird on you when you first get them, you have to let them break in.

Hope that helps a bit.

There’s no justifying the price, it’s outrageous.

How quickly did these sell out in previous runs? I seem to remember they sat longer than normal?

I don’t really need more jeans but I’ve got a gift card waiting for a home….

Bummer about the voucher, but I do understand why, considering basic core items are never in stock.

What was being referenced as the “flash sale” in the email? Was this the sale we’d sometimes see towards the end of summer on some items (I think it was 10%?). I don't remember much beyond that.

I agree with Giles, the items for elite members would leave a sour taste in my mouth. I spent a fortune in 22, 23, 24 but not nearly as much in 25. If it was calculated by last year I’d look like an infrequent shopper and not “loyal”.

Personally, small, quality items included in a purchase as a nice surprise would be fine with me. Mugs, patches and smaller quality items that probably have high margin and low cost for the brand would be nice thank you’s.

Is it faster than Apple Pay? I’ve never tried it, Apple Pay seems pretty fast.

My preference has always been to buy direct. The shipping is free, the service is unbeatable and the boys have the most inventory to check if I’m between sizes.

I’ve noticed over the last couple years that some releases are becoming hard to get/luck of the draw. I can definitely see why they are starting to tighten up on dealers.

On a different note, can’t wait for SS26!

Glad it got someone’s attention and had been resolved! Some dude on the Facebook group was trying to imply I was trying to do some form of extortion lol.

I’ve sent an email to shop@ironheart.co.uk regarding a potential website exploit I found a few hours ago. Don’t want to post details here for obvious reasons. Hoping one of the IHUK guys will see this ASAP as it’s payment related.

@Alex @Giles @AdamJ @Graham @Bailey @JoshC @Ross @SamD @AdamC

Can we no longer see our current and past vouchers and gift cards? I remember on the old site you could. Thanks!

Do any of you guys with westerns find that the back of the collar at the edge curls up? My Henry has never done this but my Tom does, it’s really noticeable when it’s on a hanger, the edge is almost 90 degrees compared to the rest of the collar.

He’s got some smoking deals on the olive and blue western shirts right now if people are looking, these have never been discounted before and are 20% off.

@mecken88 oh man, that looks incredible. Mine still hasn’t left the closet yet, still too warm here in Victoria on the West Coast. Hoping to get some mileage on it starting towards the end of this month.

I have noticed that the vertical buttons on my Kakishibu can pop open under certain tension, especially moving my arms back and putting tension on the front. Hoping it doesn’t get worse as it breaks in. Not really sure why they did vertical rather than horizontal buttons.

@tvaillant75 I’m 6’4, 195 pounds, 40 Inch chest and shoulder is somewhere around 17-18 inches.

I find physical measurements can be somewhat deceiving, as the 20 inch jacket shoulders are pretty bang on, maybe half an inch too big? A perfect chest measurement for me would be 23 inches but that doesn’t exist for these. I could fit a 22.5 but it would be pretty fitted on me.

I could definitely wear a 42 in this jacket but I just want a bit more room to breathe. I have never regretted having a bit of room, I have always regretted being a bit too small in measurements. I see a lot of guys here and online wearing jackets that If they gained even ten pounds they’d need to size up, I don’t like that.

I have a 44 in the Henry and have always regretted not sizing up, the leather doesn’t stretch at all.

My 44 came in the other day. When I first put it on I thought I had made a mistake with sizing, it looked ridiculous. However, the shoulders felt about right and after some thought and looking at TJ’s before and after photos of the red version I realized I was probably ok. Sure enough, even after a few minutes of wear it was starting to drape better. The sizing is very comfortable for me and I can definitely wear something underneath. It’s definitely more wearable than my Henry, which is much more tailored and a tighter fit.

Stitching on mine is perfect with no visible flaws. My only critique are the cuffs, I’m not sure what you would call that style but they seem purely cosmetic. I do like the fact the leather has some small imperfections and marks, I’m more than a little OCD so it’s nice to have something that isn’t “perfect”, in a traditional sense. Leather thickness seems consistent too.

@mecken88, I think TJ was sharing some photos of yours on Instagram, it’s crazy how much it’s darkened up. Mind sharing them here?

The way the large bunches up on the back like that makes me think it’s too small.

I got an XXL in this round because my XL is slightly too snug and if I gain any weight it will be too small. The XL is definitely more fitted but I don’t want it collecting dust in the future if I can’t wear it.

It’s a shame, as the older OD looks better IMO and my replacement jacket isn’t quite as well put together as its predecessor. If I were you I’d keep the one you know you’re going to be able to wear.

I think people here are not understanding the question… It’s simply if this run is the first run that isn’t washed - all signs are pointing to this but the boys will be able to give a definitive answer.

@yannis I’m sorry but you are incorrect here. The info page for the jacket literally says “ we don't one-wash this model”. That’s the reason for my question, I’m assuming something has changed with this run. I’m hoping one of the guys can clarify this and put it to bed.

I’m very confused about the sizing and washing on these. I bought mine in January of 2022 direct from IHUK, I do not remember any mention of shrink to fit or being unwashed. I looked online, Self Edge and Weathered Fig still describe these as one washed but unsanfordized. Are these new ones different than previous batches?
