IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker

[Giles]

Yes it is happening.  @Winchy is wearing the sample.  Trouble is i have been making so many of the IH-666S that we have always been too short of denim to make the jacket.  I think we will see it soon.

If that's the sample jacket I saw the other week it's beautiful!

@Giles:

Hmmm, context is lost on me, sorry.  Please ask me a simple question…..

Sorry, you had mentioned on page 3 (post #32 and #35) that you were working on a new Iron Heart 101 Jacket?  Did that ever happen?

Is this a Storm Rider?  A Type I?

[Giles]

It's not a Storm Rider…

[hajduk]

It is a very nice jacket, G!

I absolutely need that jacket. I'm serious.

[Broark]

Oh damn, and I just ordered a overdyed modified type III from Self Edge…that 101 looks awesome.

Is there a way to soften this jacket? Or stretch a bit, just gained little weight

[Giles]

Soften - wear it
Stretch - not that I know of
Sorry

[proton]

Any restock in the process? Need a small in this bad boy!

[proton]

Or maybe medium!

[Giles]

Being rerun atm.  I'm guessing completion will be March…..

@twin:

Cooling down now I can wear this jacket more.

Wow!!! You look great as always, what size are you in? If you dont mind how tall are you? Just trying to understand if I could look good as you !!!

Haha!!! I knew it How about couple of dryers ? I dont like right shoulder stick out like Michael Jacksons jacket hope its falls little bit as it gets softer!!! Seriously, Giles you are the man, (beside twin & superfuzz), best person for this info … how soft can this get and duration!!! I am trying to lose some extra weight I gained (Thanks to 526L), if I dont would try and get next size with your blessings One thing I have noticed the front pocket flaps best work with smaller size and they dont seems to grow with larger size that changes the look of this jacket ... but still this is the best jacket money could buy today in market ... so kudos!!!

@twin:

Out for a hike in my 526L

First of all twin you look great in these pictures (as always), but if you notice right shoulder sticks out where as left settled down, probably due to stiffness of denim … if Giles could fix these by reducing little bit from top (reducing the curve of armpit), this will definitely make this jacket more desirable, in fact if these jackets are cut in 16 to 18 oz will be best (Out of this world)!!!!

[Giles]

There are other jackets available in the softer 21oz denim and soon to be 18oz raw and 16.5oz indigo/indigo duck,  the 526L is what it is and unfortunately for some it will stay that way. I can't please all of the people all of the time…..

Ronitsingh the 526L is a size 44L. I got it when I was at last years F&C in Gosport UK.
I am 6f 5in tall.

I also experienced some stiffness with this jacket and felt like it didn't settle as it should (IMO). So I washed it and wore it while it was still damp. Worked wonders. I am little bit gutted at the moment because I can't wear this (too cold..)
