@Oaktavia also looks like this thing is armor. not seeing anything even close to a hole despite all the high contrast fades.

@Oaktavia I hope iron heart gives you huge discounts because it’s these fades that got me hooked. This jacket is legendary. Glad to have gotten one while I still could!

I’d say the fit is spot on. Just need to hem em now.

I’m glad I had some patience. I did my classic technique of some lunges, some warm shower water while wearing them, more lunges, tight belt to hold them up, wear them until they dry on my body, more lunges, and wear em for 12 hours. Now they fit like a glove. That perfect quarter inch pinch of extra fabric in the thighs.

Despite the tight weave, these are actually stretchier than they first appeared.

I will say that what is nice about the shorter back rise is they are less prone to diaper butt. Some other brands (RGT strong taper) are perfect on first wear but the typical 1 inch stretch in the seat results in terrible back sag.

Love midrise… low rise needs to die in 2012.

Just got a pair of these on Grailed. The seat and the back rise are pretty tight. The thighs are slim but doable. Mostly just the plumber crack issue. Do these have some stretch in these areas over time?? I like black denim in particular very slim. Looks slicker. But the difference between slim and too tight especially in raw denim is literally a quarter inch sometimes.

Woah boys. Just got my 140 IG in. Ever more insane in person as predicted. The sea of dark blue is filled with specks of electric blue. And yeah those copper buttons make the jacket. Also love rolling up my sleeves and the grey weft is a beauty.

The jacket is no joke. I mostly wear neppy & slubby soft jackets. See: oni secret denim, RGT cryptic denim, mister freedom awa ai. The 20 oz secret denim is pajamas soft. This def has some of that sharp cardboard feeling in the elbows. Will require some break in! Really makes me wonder what the LHT feels like because this is a stiff boy out of the gates.

Sizing is fantastic. It’s a bit tight in my belly. But I’m trying to lose 10 pounds right now so I’m not surprised.

For anyone snooping to figure out their size: I am 69 inches, 170 pounds currently, 41 inch chest. I got a size 38. I like slim fits and usually just wear tees under my denim jackets. 40 would fit fine likely if I wanted a looser fit or planned on wearing it with flannels/hoodies/sweatshirts.

Here are some awful pictures that will sell exactly 0 people on buying this jacket.

Just couldn’t let this one go. It. Is so wild compared to other iron heart jackets… a classic design made ultra wild with the dark stitching, cinch back, and copper buttons. Such a beauty with attention to retro and subtle modernity.

Just ordered mine! Can’t wait… even though I have an Oni kabuki secret denim type 3, pale rider, mister freedom awa ai campus blouse & mister freedom Randall I should be wearing…. The obsession is real.

Definitely comparing apples to oranges here, but should I go for this guy or wait for a lefty type 3?

I’ve been eyeing this since the release. It’s special. The minimal contrast other than the copper off the shelf pops. And it appears to be a pretty fast fader with high contrast fades.

The lefty type 3 which won’t likely come out until at least the spring. And I hear that it’s a real bear to wrangle. It eventually is beautiful. But not easy getting there.

What do y’all think that have both?? I’m looking for unique and honeycomb for days.

@Oaktavia been searching for 6 months!! None in stock. None hitting the secondhand market! Got eBay, grailed, & poshmark watches set up haha

@Oaktavia beautiful. Filled with envy.

Damn this offering is so beautiful. I just can’t justify another type 1 in my collection right now. I already have a Levi’s type 1 & a Mister Freedom Natural Veg Randall (type 1/2ish).

I really want this fabric in a modified type 3 with the copper buttons and indigo stitching. Any rumblings on other offerings in this fabric?

Big fan of RGT. Will admit you have to be practically a stick for the stuff to fit right, but the almost modern western design with really wild fabrics is great. Most of my closet is RGT. Super small operation compared to other brands. Designed and made in LA.

@indigostiff “big fit” is an expression. Don’t think it is too big or small a shirt. I think the sizing on it is perfect!! haha

Some fits that are way too big for the world.

It was mentioned above, but I was the lucky guy to get their last Pale Rider from Division Road for $500 off at their end of season sale. A real steal.

This piece is wild. Makes most of my closet look like amateur hour! This one is cool as it has some markings from the factory in the sleeve.

Also, big props to Edith!!

This type III is on the top of my wantlist. Passed on a 38 a few weeks ago on Withered Fig as the measured sizing seemed too large for a medium. (I wear a size medium in Rogue Territory and their sizing is very slim). Kicking myself now though because it sounds like there won’t be a restock until 2025!!
