Your advice on Iron Heart Denim Type III jackets would be appreciated

It’s true. They’ve moved to the longer, modern silhouette aside from the 526j which stays hand warmer free and 25” long.

I’m wearing the type 3 even shorter. 23”-24”!

My feeling about the length with a type 3 has really changed. I like them short!

When I was tellin' y'all they gotta be 23" back at the most, you laughed me out of the forum.

No, I'm kidding but it's ridiculous how at one point, all the makers began competing who'd made a longer Type-3 when this always was the shortest of all jacket styles. If it's covering your belt, it's too long.

Iron Heart makes fantastic clothes but I personally am not paying that kind of money for cotton.

They should be short. I have a couple of denim type 3 that actually have internal patch pockets. I found them very useful when out and about for my (minimalist) wallet, phone, whatever, when I don't want to stuff my pants pockets. Any sightings of type-3s with internal patch pockets?

Those look great and I’ve come to the same opinion on length.

I used to prefer them 26-28 to match my low rise pants but now I’m wearing mid rise I think the cropped jacket just look and fit better.

I have the 21oz Non-Fade Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack in XL. I originally bought it in size L, but the chest ended up being too small so sold it on eBay. I wouldnt really rely too much on the published measurements, it seems better to err towards getting something a half or 1" bigger as the actual measurements tend to be +/- half an inch across any given measure. Good luck with your purchase.
