Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

[ton312]

I haven't heard a peep...looks like the race is over for me.

You've got to get the notice today...login to your IH account and check the status...it shipped I'm sure.

still says pending.. i added a waffle knit/thermal to my order at the time.. musta put the brakes on everything

I imagine an old lady starts knitting one in your size skillfully right after you order.

My IH storm rider is going back. Laughably huge. Bummed.

Me too, was looking forward to seeing that one. Were the sleeves the problem? Hoping the Brave Star sherpas will ship soon!

Same... way too long..

They need to figure out how to get these jackets wider without adding so much length.
A smaller size wouldn’t have fit my P2P

Had I gone with a Large I think I would’ve been OK...

I suspect quite a few will be coming back.

Whoa I botched the quote function spectacularly. LOL.

Actually if I got your fit I would’ve kept it... I thinks yours fits you better than mine fits me..

Feels entirely too long. Mainly in the body. 27” back with a drop front. Like a blazer storm rider.

Oh man, that jacket really is too large, Boyo. What size did you get again? XXL? Now I'm paranoid mine will be off, too. Maybe I should've gone with Small. It seemed right on paper but figured what with the blanket and all... We'll see. And I don't think I can get a refund since it's an exchange to begin with. I'll have to get something else instead.

Sleeves were doable but the body just isn’t right for a trucker imho. Way too long.

I was afraid they'd do that, make the damn thing too long. Lee SR jackets are short. Really short. Huge sleeves, short body. IH usually nails the tiny sizes but often, larger numbers have them confused.

Yup. Should’ve ordered a large. Size large down the size range looked better. I knew it at the time but figured I go same size as the 526. At least they aren’t dicks about returns.

This is xxxxl ( although the jacket is labeled a 48? )
I think I could’ve lived with the long sleeves but the body length is too long by maybe 4-5 inches..
I modeled it for Mrs Boyo and she just laughed at me...nuff said

 

[Monitor]

Damn shame... It looks like such a beautiful jacket.

 

[El Marro]

I might be the only keeper on the IH Storm Rider it seems. The XXXL fits good through the body and the shoulders. Definitely a bit longer than I’d like, but I am going to hold onto it for a day or two and see how I feel about it.

 

[ton312]

I wish I could bend my foot around and kick my own ass. While the xl is fine in the chest and shoulders, even the sleeve diameter and length are OK...the 27” back with a 2” front drop makes me feel like I’m wearing a tunic. I’d have rather had a skin tight version with reasonable length. The denim on this feels more prone to stretch too.

I have the feeling there will be quite some returns. So far I only read from one person in the Iron Heart forum whom fits the jacket. Maybe they should start a rolling exchange, so that everyone gets a size smaller by passing them along between buyers instead of sending them back. Looking at these arm length, I have the feeling I found my denim brand

These jackets are the same tag size! That’s NFG!

I’ll leave well enough alone and slip out the back door with my type III.
