IHSB-C3 - Iron Heart Int'l x Simmons Bilt C3 Style Shearling Vest - Brown/Brown

[Witt]

So excited for this jacket!! What do you guys think about changing the pockets to normal hidden pockets? Just asking???

[Witt]

I almost think this jacket is too beautiful to cover up with those pockets.

I think that would look great.

agreed! - the pockets working fine with the contrast leather trim .. a full seal coloured version would be nice too (and more understated)
but, whatever .. not my decision (phew)

For it to be a "C-3 jacket", I think it NEEDS those pockets. Me? I love it, just as it is! I wonder if it gets cold enough in the UK to justify this, lol

We change the pockets, we remake the jacket.  As @UnTucked said it would not be a "C-3 Jacket" without those pockets and anyway the front panels would need to be replaced as they existing ones would show stitch scars

Jacket is awesome! And I know I'll regret asking, but how much?

[Giles]

Restocked….

Shit….why did I look....

Quick question, as I have no experience sizing vests. If my ideal P2P size for a shirt is 22", and if I intend to wear this vest over no more than a shirt or a thin sweater, I should go for the L in this vest, correct (22.3" chest measurement)? Or is that going to be too tight? I find 23" to be too loose (but manageable) in a shirt. Also, I'm 5'9", so not particularly tall (i.e., the IHSH-76 is too long in the back for me).

Thanks!

I tried these on when I was in Gosport. I’m an XL in IH shirts and I tried the XL and L vests. I found the L ok with just a tee shirt, but even that was a little trim. I could wear the XL comfortably with a flannel and undershirt and will go with that one day. My conclusion is, go with your shirt size.

Thanks.

You were born to wear that vest!

A sheep was certainly born for me to be able to wear it [emoji23]

[UnTucked]

I not sure how much leeway you get when joking about sheep….

Thank you, sir. One of those bits of kit that makes you happy just seeing it hanging in the closet. Wearing it is a blast.
