Went for a color change on the string, wanting more contrast. As with all my IH goods, this thing is next level.

Superblack kind of day.

@Filthy:

Wow, most excellent. Especially the patch.

Thanks, they have become a staple in my rotation over the years.

@Filthy:

Very nice. When you get a chance some pics in the sunshine would be excellent @Tdre977

I always struggle to get decent shots that show it nice, old iPhone probably doesn’t help.

3 years of almost daily use. About to send them in for some much needed repairs. Figured I’d share them.

After a few years of wear I think it’s finally getting there. One of my favorite pieces that I own.

Thanks! The jeans are IH-633s straight tapered 21oz, they’re coming up on 3 years of almost constant wear, love those jeans. Starting to get warmer out so I’ve been wearing the jacket a little more, it’s still stiff and heavy feeing, like a nice denim hug. I wore my old jcrew type III the other day while doing some dirty work, they’re not even in the same league.

Wearing my Iron Heart tux. I’ve had it just shy of a year, still a stiff monster, but I love it. Starting to show some fading here n’ there, tough to get it to show in a pic

This jacket is a monster! I think we got the fit right on this one, I guess I'm skinnier than I thought. Many thanks to Matt for helping me out!
Can't wait to see some evolution on this beast.

Yep, I thought so, and it's my intent to not layer with it at all. Any thought as to how much to size down? This jacket is a brute tho, can't wait to get the right one now.

Just got mine, pretty sure it's too big…...don't anticipate it would shrink enough even with a hot soak to get it where it needs to be, thoughts?

Ok, so I've done some measurements and picture taking. My IH-9527J riders jacket is a 44/XXL, I'd say the fit is ok on it, perhaps a touch big in the chest/shoulders, but only a little bit, one of the adjustment buttons on the waist is on he tighter button for a more fitted look.  I would think an Xl would fit.

Next up is my IHSH-102tg in XL. This shirt is definitely big on me.

Have a shot of a Type I I wear a bunch, measured at 23" p2p and 18.5" shoulders.

I tried on what I think is my best fitting shirt, came in at 21" p2p

Not really looking to layer with this jacket. Just want a nice fitted jacket over a t-shirt or a button down.

What size are we thinking here? Sizing is the most nerve wracking shit for me ever.

After thought…I'm 5'9" about and 150-155 lbs. My IH jeans are a 33 waist.

Thanks guys!

@Chris:

Yep.  This is the best thread for any and all discussion, sizing included.

Cool. Gotta go home and do some measuring. The first time I inquired about the jacket I think Giles suggested a xxxl. I have a feeling it'll be too big on me now, lost some weight since then. I have a superblack riders jacket in xxl/44 and it's a touch big on me at this point. I also have a uhf in xl and that may be a touch big on me, but not too bad.

When I get home I'll take some measurements and pics, see what we can figure out.

Been waiting on this fella for over a year…...if I want to discuss sizing is this the best place to do that?

Any idea when we'll see a restock on these?

@Giles:

Early Sept I am afraid….

Dang. Wasn't expecting that long.

@Giles:

It's going to be a few months…..

Any idea on when we'll see another run of the xxxl?

@Appfaff:

Looks great and nice pairing with the 9527J @Tdre977 !

Thanks, love that jacket. Now I finally have head to toe iron heart.

Got mine today, it's an impressive shirt.

Huge thanks to Matt from iron heart for steering me in the right direction for sizing!

@Giles:

XXXL

Thanks, guess I'm just going to have to wait for a restock. It's fine tho, it'll take me at least a few weeks to convince the wife that I NEED one.
