I was looking at the size chart on the website for XXL. Am I wrong or are the sleeves on this jacket extremely long compared to other IH type 3’s?

Sorry to hear this @Oaktavia . I had to put a Golden retriever down to for a similar growth on his nose.
We still have his grandson (now 9) and a new golden puppy is coming in a few weeks.

My daily jacket is always ready and eager to go. 
No coathanger needed!

I love mine, wore it straight out of the package!

I love mine. I wore it on any occasion I went out this winter, which wasn’t a lot unfortunately.

Took out the old bathroom of my new house.

@Giles:

Best of luck with the new house…

Thanks, Giles!

At the notary to buy my new house.

@neph93:

Worn XHS vests are obviously like the nr.2 bus where I live. You can wait ages and not see one then two come along at once. Very nice indeed @The_Bourbon_Denim_Guy

I wear mine whenever the weather allows me but still not a lot of fading going on. This mofo takes a while to break in 

I rarely use the hand warmer pockets but the inside pockets as a result of the handwarmers are the reason why I only buy and wear modified type III’s

I wore my 21oz non fade III last year all winter and it can still stand on it’s own 
Wonderful versatile jacket though

18 december and 13°C. Perfect weather for a walk with James.

^been looking at an mx-5 for awhile. not sure if I can ever live with a 2 door. but the RF looks brilliant

Don't hesitate if you're looking for a roadster, the MX-5 is the most fun you can have with a car for $20-30k.
And just like Iron Heart, they're pretty much indestructible. I still see 30 year old mx-5's almost daily.

As long as you're smaller than 1,80m, you'll fit in it though. Any taller and you'll hit the roof with your head 
As a daily driver I also have a Renault Kangoo minivan because the trunk is pretty small if this is your only car.

Got one on the back window of my Mazda MX-5 RF, which is also made in Japan so it suits well together 

Since july we are obligated to wear face masks in stores here in Belgium. Since I own a store I have to wear it 8 hours a day, 6 days a week (when we are not closed because of lockdown like now…). So I had to find some that are comfortable. I tried a couple from Troop London, Fleurs de Bagne, etc. But by far the best are the ones from G-Star. Very comfortable to wear, soft anti-bacterial cloth. They use a triangle cord that doesn’t pull on your ears. I think a 5-pack costs €50 and they feel like can last a lot of washes.

Finally cold enough again for this wonderful type III.

@Wlemon:

I got a little type 3 crazy, but I blame Iron Heart for that. Before getting into the brand, I didn't have any. My first was the duck, actually, and that started the, um, collection (addiction?). From there, I got the 21oz, then corduroy (brown/indigo), whipcord, and now this one. I love them all and they are very versitle. I have a feeling this is going to be the best of the lot, though. However, as I say that, it does feel like picking your favorite kid.

I had quite a collection of truckers and riders before I got into IH.
When I bought my first 21oz I thought this would be the ultimate type iii to end collecting.
Five IH type iii’s and a vest later I think I failed…

@going_to_battle:

The ODG was actually one that I bought in person (from Rivet & Hide). It fitted really well. The problem was, I bought it in July last year, on the hottest day in UK history! So I was only wearing a thin t-shirt underneath. I tend to wear a Large in IH items but bought an XL as it felt like the right fit, so I’m not against buying unusual sizes. I actually think the ODG has a very slim fit (I’ve read that elsewhere and the measurements seem to back it up).

I have learned that I need to think carefully about what I plan to wear under my jackets. It’s ok to have summer jackets but I think I’d wear my next type III jacket in autumn and spring, with maybe a couple of layers or an UHF.

The ODG whipcord is also the only IH I bought in person (also R&H) and I’m glad I did because of the slimmer fit. They suggested to size up to XXL instead of my regular XL. Love that jacket. I can’t wait to start wearing it over my brand new IHSH-33B.

@neph93:

@Plymouth58 that looks like a good day right there. Nice car too.

Can't go wrong with Japanese

No work today so busy day: while waiting for my Iron Heart package to arrive I washed my car, went for a drive,  had some lunch at this castle and drank a gin-tonic.
