@Chibs great first post and write up! And username, Chibs definitely my favourite from SOA

Thanks guys! Thanks to Iron Heart for making my Jacket and having excellent customer service (Freeman)!
Before joining this forum I went over to Reddit to create a similar post. Only problem was that Iron Heart means a totally different thing on Reddit and Not at all SFW!!
Glad to find this forum. Really doubt this'll be my last IH purchase. Eyeballing an out of stock olive M65 Field Jacket and maybe some jeans

@Chibs welcome. I think most of us can relate to that first experience of the legendary IH product/customer service combo. It’s all too easy to get used to it!
Also, not a path I’ve taken but a fair few guys on here have been known to sleep in their IH gear. I’m sure they’ll back you up if you ever need to convince your wife that such things are totally normal

@Chibs You can always check out the list of retailers at the beginning of the product thread for a second chance at scoring something that may be OOS at HQ.
Handy, but dangerous. 
Didn't realize this but I'm safe for now. The local store that stocks the M65 only has it in a medium. I'm large so thank the maker!!

Frydays, short walk from IH. Watched the Isle of Wight ferries coming and going. The seagulls keeping a beady eye on the chance of grabbing some leftovers..

@soda_fabbrica
I’ll check that one out next time. Thanks. -

Does anyone find the sleeve opening on this jacket to be too limiting? Looks awfully small compared to the shirts I have.
You can open the cuff button if you feel that way. When I wear gloves that's what I do.

There is a 19oz version of this demin coming to a website near you soon.
Just jeans thus far…..But take a deep breath, and you never know what'll happen......
Rereading this thread. Is this still something in the mix?

@Oaktavia The jean version has been and gone, as part of FW2020 sold poorly from memory

Yeah my brain farted loud a moment ago. Thanks Alex LOL.
Edit: I am on the fence between this one and the 21oz SBG. Part of me says heavyweights are superior but as I am growing with my IH taste I am starting to be drawn to lighter weights too. I like the idea of many creases on the arms for fades. And I am so drawn to indigo/black. I think a fitted look with this one would be so sick. And I would be able to wear it in warmer weather easier too. Any thoughts on this?

I found this wears pretty hot in the sun, especially when new with how dark it is. It also doesn't breathe as well as 21 and thanks to the tighter more dense fabric, it also seems to conduct heat/cold better than 21. Still, it's a great jacket and the thinner/lighter fabric makes it decent to travel with in my experience. Fit, mine seems to be cut slimmer compared to other jackets where I'm normally a large but went with an XL in this.
Really just depends if you want sbg or ib.
