Praying for longer sleeve lengths than last year

@Richard That's the craziest thing - I was just looking at this jacket and a chambray bomber that I'd never seen before on eBay this morning. I love it, but I don't think it's cold enough to justify buying where I live. Such a great IH piece to own though. Yours looks sick!

Agreed with the dude above me.

It’s warmer than an unlined jacket but not by a whole lot. It was 10c here yesterday in Germany and I wore it over an IHTL-1501 very comfortably. I see it as sitting perfectly in-between my type-3’s and my N1’s.

I Normally aim for a 46" chest in the denim jackets but I think I'm going w/ the XXL (43" in) in this as I cant envision ever actually buttoning it and the shoulders of the XXXL are wy too big for me.

Seeing Courtney, who is usually 1 size larger than me, pull the XX off so well pushed me into it.

Nabbed an XL from Iron Heart Germany. Feels good to finally get “the one that got away”.

So stoked for this one. Spent a lot of time trying to find a used one from the ‘23 release.

Thank you to @Alexander for being so accommodating on the 20th anniversary flannel. Very fast shipping and a very nice hand-written letter to accompany. He’s an A+ dude.

Shout out to @twism_23 for the sick Black on Black N1. Sizing and condition was perfect and he had it out to me quick!

Maybe one day those of us w/ long-ass gorilla arms will get these

T-Rex arms gotta eat too!

Yes, you’re right. What’s fair is fair.

Feast up and enjoy all you short armed kings.

Finally bit the bullet and ordered all 4 in XL.

6'4 200lbs and it fits me almost exactly like Rudi's in the promo photos. Exactly what I wanted. Slim enough to use as versatile layering pieces but not so slim to where I wouldnt want to wear it alone. Really like how they look when using them as an undershirt for an unbuttoned shirt or type 2. Olive w/ an unbuttoned Johnny Cash is mint.

Couldnt be happier

Was about to buy a UES until I saw these are coming back. Hopefully soon.

Just recieved my 1st pair of 25oz after seeing there was only 1 pair left in tag 36. It's starting to get cold here so I decided now's the time.

After trying them on initially, they felt a little too loose in the thighs and knees. Ended up soaking them for an hour, air-dryed and threw them on while they were still just barely damp. After soaking I was concerned that they were a bit too snug, but within a couple of hours I could really start to feel them molding to my body. Ended up wearing them for around 5 hours and by the time I took them off, they were feeling pretty dang good. My wife says she really likes the fit on me.

Excited to put them through their paces over the winter

Update: Day 2, i put them on this morning and it's very apparent how much they shaped to my body in the initial wear. They feel really comfortable today. When i was sliding them on you could feel all the contours from where they molded to me and how everything just kinda "fell into place"

@Gammaman Damn, that thing is beautiful.

@Subprime said in IHSB-BIGBUCK-OLV - Deerskin Western Shirt The Big Buck - Olive:

Hey @Snafu. The exterior of the Big Buck is very soft. The leather feels buttery smooth, springy, and has slight pebbling, sort of like suede. I wouldn't say the Big Buck is as slippery as velvet. The shirt is very warm yet breathable, and is surprisingly strong given its suppleness. The Pale Rider may suit you better, I believe that's the Simmons Bilt x IH shirt that isn't as suedey.

Thanks for the heads up! I guess I’ll just have to enjoy these from afar.

@Snafu unfortunately it's goosebumps and shivers time with this one most likely

shame. Such a tough shirt too.

Is the external texture of these more like a velvety/suede or Rough-out leather?

Just wondering because I have an insane tactile hypersensitivity to anything that feels velvety. Anytime I touch it I get crazy goosebumps and shivers.

Got mine today. I really like how vibrant the purple looks in direct sunlight, in person. Favorite flannel already!

@hoppy_IPA I feel you dude. I got caught up in something and missed the launch by about 40 minutes. My size was gone but luckily iron Heart Germany pulled through once again.

Im curious about these for the winter but have never seen one in person. What temps could these comfortably withstand with say an unbuttoned 526PJ worn over it?

@yannis Copy that. Thank you.

Looks like most non-OD 777’s are the closest measurements through the thigh, knee and leg opening to my 888 OD
