Man, I thought this would be true but I'm in love with this cut. I need to lose a bit of weight for them to fit perfect, but I already knew that/that's already in progress. I can tell these are eventually going to be my favorite pair. Thanks again, @Graham!

I read through the whole thread from the beginning, and just to confirm the state of affairs with this cut: it's in continuous production, but mostly it's sold in Japan, with a few pairs making their way over here? And when it's available we can special order with no returns?

@Mizmazzle Wise words!

Still way too hot to wear this out where I am, but been enjoying wearing it around home the last two days, trying to start breaking it in. Curious how this jacket ends up feeling once it's fully broken in — I know it will eventually stop feeling like a suit of armor, but does it always remain a bit stiff, or does it inevitably become soft?

@SFMCfranky Oh man, I'm from SF originally, used to love doing that ride.

Last shot of the cast iron jacket before soak.

Went and tested some bikes today, went in thinking I might buy a 10 year old Street Glide or Heritage, and now think I might be in love with a Fat Bob...Now trying to see if I can stretch the budget, sigh. Any of you ever had one?

@Graham I'll take them!

Just picked mine up from Self Edge. I knew it would be insanely stiff but really can’t believe how gnarly this fabric is. It’s sweltering here right now; can’t wait for temps to drop and to put some wear on this.

Ugh I am so torn between this and the 16 oz slubby OD! Completely different fabrics, both calling my name...

Really torn between this and the standard indigo version…Anyone have fade pics of both? I’m not usually that into overdye but with the texture this one is speaking to me…

Can’t tell in the first picture, but wearing this Iron Heart shirt I picked up at the Hachioji shop a few weeks ago (along with this keychain). Plus a Studio D’artisan kakishibu-dyed sashiko jacket.

Back from 3 weeks in Japan, where I picked these up (among others!)

@Alex Awesome, thanks! Mostly I think I’ll just be looking for some standard IH stuff, so should be good.

Heading to Japan next week and plan to hit either the Osaka or Hachioji store (or both) while I'm there at some point! I know the selection is more limited than what's offered online through IHUK, but is sizing availability more limited, as well? I'm usually an XL-XXL and 36'' waist in IH and wondering if it'll be hard to find my size there.
