IHSB-EXT-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Natural Horsehide Type III Jacket

[Alex]

@MastersOfDeath a few months, we’re still figuring out the exact leather to use for the future runs

[chadstone30]

Hi Alex and Crew. Any update you can share, please, on the next batch of these? Bummed I missed out on the February restock!

[JoshC]

@chadstone30 As far as I'm aware there hasn't been an update and we are still looking into figuring out the best natural leather to use, as soon as we have any sort of update we update it here on the forum for you guys.

[Alex]

Josh is correct, but we are making progress

[chadstone30]

Thank you guys!

Wearing this jacket for the first time this season. It pairs heavenly with an UHF underneath, perfect for layering. My classroom is cold enough to wear it indoors too. My goal is to wear it once a week, mainly Fridays. It still smells wonderful. It creaks and groans when I sit and move slightly. I love this jacket and am SO glad I didn't try to sell it harder.

@Oaktavia looks great mate definitely a keeper … Gutted I never bought one when they were last restocked .

@pechelman My wife kept asking me are you sure you want to sell that? Plus, I thought that this jacket was a little too wide before I noticed that all of my jackets are wide in the back (when they are unbuttoned). I'm just a tall and mostly lanky dude, so that is how jackets tend to fit me. If I were to wear them closer in, I tend to not be able to button them. I like buttoning jackets a lot. Further, after not wearing this for a while I realized now that it fits just as well, if not better than my 140IG that I use now as a baseline fit. I tend to overthink things, then overthink that I am overthinking, and the cycle continues. I do have moments of clarity at times too though.

Thanks man, I appreciate hearing that! I was on the fence for too long about it. Been wearing it all morning and loving it. Do you plan to pick one up when they return?

[Jcaz6996]

@Oaktavia Not sure at the moment mate. Not too keen on the New leather have to wait and see .

[Oaktavia]

@Jcaz6996 oh right, I would be super interested in seeing the new version vs. old. Mine was from the last batch of the older version and is super thicc.

@Oaktavia I think you did really well not to sell it, it looks divine on you and you made me want to take mine out of the closet (Italian weather permitting )… gorgeous my friend

[Mister_Brue]

@Oaktavia Nice to see it back in rotation.

[Oaktavia]

@Luijim78 thank you my friend, I am finally fully happy with it and I appreciate the confirmation. I hope you can wear yours soon too.

@Mister_Brue Yeah, I am trying to have a bit more of a rotation instead of only wearing the same clothes all of the time. While the latter yields faster results, I have too many nice pieces to not wear them.

[Mister_Brue]

@Oaktavia I feel you. Are you still wearing the 140 the rest of the week?
Personally I always find it refreshing to get out of the ‘uniform’ on the weekends and show some love to other pieces.
