Would you be so kind as to ping this thread once the black medium jacket is in stock? I'll keep a sharp eye out

[Giles]

will do

[cowsareforeating]

is there going to be another run of these? just wondering. I know a lot is going on in the next half year (and my wallets gonna be empty for around the same time) but right now a sbj looks super tempting..

and of course i'm looking for a small.

I asked Giles a couple of days ago - answer was:

The 9527J will be about 4-6 weeks.

Will probably pick up a Medium…

[Beatle]

patiently waiting for spring so I can wear this beast again

[cowsareforeating]

hopefully it gets delayed so there will be a small left! this thing perfects my wardrobe..

I tried to answer this on the new website:

Shopping | What does “Extant”, “Endangered” and “Extinct” mean on the product pages?
Extant – A regular production item. If we are not showing your size, drop us an email, it should only be a short while until restock.
Endangered – A one-off production run that is severely limited.
Extinct – sold out and no more will be made.

Question …
Should I give the Superblack Riders a soak before wearing or not?
What are your experiences?

[hectic]

I do not own one, but my gut says - "For the love of God, noooooooo"

[Beatle]

hehe, hectic, great way to put it…confirm

[van Olzon]

yes … my guts say the same ... but I had a short moment of despair breakin' this denim 

this jacket is hard as f***

[Beatle]

lol…hang in there...

[Seul]

Yeah - hang in there… Sleep in it... But don't soak it...

[van Olzon]

I tried to help you guys stop having to ask questions like this when we updated the website.  Product status is "Extant".

Go to FAQs and you will see this:

Extant – A regular production item. If we are not showing your size, drop us an email, it should only be a short while until restock.
Endangered – A one-off production run that is severely limited.
Extinct – sold out and no more will be made.

So yes it will be produced again,  prob about 2 months away…........

Once again, I would like to thank G for his excellent service.

Speedy shipping, Flexible store policies and Quick replies. This makes ironheart.co.uk a joy and a breeze to shop at.

I received my IH-9527J - XL today. The quality of the product is top notch. When I first wore it, I was awed by how stiff the denim was. It felt pretty damn weird at first, but it grew on me.

The jacket is extremely well made. as expected of an iron heart product. Besides a little fraying of the threads, everything else is perfect.

My shoulder sizing is 18.5 inch. Chest sizing is 42 inch. The XL fit pretty damn well. It's not too fitting nor was it too loose. I normally just wear my jacket over a 4 - 6 oz T-shirt so it fits comfortably.

The only problem I would say is the length of the sleeves. It's a tad too long for me. It goes about half an inch or so below my wrist when I unzip the sleeves. However, it is perfectly fine when I zip it up.

Even though, I should be able to squeeze into a L. I reckon it would be too fitting. Doubt I would be able to stretch my arms around much. Clothes that are too fitting makes me look like a sausage!

All in all, this is becoming one of my favorite jackets. A definite must buy!

The arms will shrink once the denim settles… As you create set creases (what's the term for honeycombs on a jacket???) they'll become 0.5 - 1 " shorter...
