    To be honest I do not own a single pair of IH jeans, but I do own four or five of their denim jackets. I think my favorites are the 21 oz Selvedge and the 21 oz Selvedge overdye. I have a couple pairs of heavy denim from other makers but these days I pretty much only wear my Kuhl khakis. I love...

    Iron Heart Nagoya

    I am only about 10 pieces behind you and I feel the same way. Many companies charge stupid prices for their clothing and too many times I have felt stupid myself after believing the hype and then discovering it is just cheaply made junk. I have never felt that way with IH though, everything I’ve...

    Thanks for sharing the photos @Colin G! I would be like a kid in a candy store at that shop.

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    Their website definitely leaves a lot to be desired. It’s funny because the old website was primitive and unappealing, yet it at least showed photos of their basic models with info on fit and pricing. I guess they figure that between Instagram and word of mouth they have all the business they need.

    Heres my Octagon Chopper from 2020 (shameless copy of @JMax). I remember that this was a very small batch and they weren’t sure when or where the next Octagon would be coming from.

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    After looking at the photo again I’ve decided I’m much more worried about the shirt under the jacket than the jacket itself. What is going on with that shirt?!? It’s all bunched up in a weird way and don’t even get me started on the collar, does it even have a collar?

    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    -don’t let the perfect (jacket) be the enemy of the good (jacket) -don’t get too hung up on only one hide or tannery, great hides come from many different animals and many different tanneries

    Advice needed for first top-tier G-1 leather jacket purchase

    Out of the three you mentioned I would choose the Eastman as I know for a fact they make a great G-1. I own the ELMC horsehide G-1 and it is a great jacket, very comparable to the originals I own in therms of cut and quality. The only complaint I have about the jacket is the knits, they began...

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    I’ve bought several jackets through them and I would have to say I come down somewhere in the middle here. I think the fit jacket process is an awesome idea, particularly for someone who is new to this really has no idea about what they’re doing. I’ve also had the experience of not getting...

    Glock in Jacket Pistol Pocket (?)

    It was after the Supreme Court handed down the Bruen decision in 2022 that all California counties were required to issue CCW permits provided the applicant was proven to have good moral character. There are now thousands of CCW permits in Alameda County alone.

    Interesting denim jackets?

    Ciano Farmer has some interesting jackets that he can make in any fabric, including denim. This is his Field Hand jacket, I have one in light blue denim with a wool lining.

    Trucker suggestions

    No argument there. It looks soft and luxurious. The Aero type 3 is just about perfect in my opinion. I had one in blackened brown Vicenza with the Troy blanket lining. It was an awesome jacket until I started hitting the weights again and outgrew it.

    Trucker suggestions

    I just can’t get past those pocket flaps, they are too long. LW makes some awesome jackets but I would pass on their type 3.

    Glock in Jacket Pistol Pocket (?)

    True. Most of my leather jackets are too short to work well with my untucked shirt over the IWB holster.

    Glock in Jacket Pistol Pocket (?)

    I have been thinking about the gun pocket when used as intended and I can’t imagine a less ideal holster to draw from. I have gotten pretty comfortable carrying a single action pistol in a kydex holster iwb cocked and locked, but the Vanson gun pocket just seems like an accident waiting to...

    Jacket you “should” like?

    Agreed. I’ve owned a couple beauties that had either sleeves that were too short or a back length that rode above my belt. As much as I liked the jackets, I kept tugging at the sleeves or the back hem, and it wasn’t long before I realized they weren’t for me.

    Given that your handle is VansonRider I feel like that is a good idea.
