IH-9526V - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Type III Vest - Superblack
Iron Heart - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Type II Vest - Superblack
We all want to wear our heavyweight jackets year-round, but sometimes it's just unrealistic. These beauties make life a little easier in the summer. Whether you're breaking the Honda out of the garage or just looking for a bit of layering during the dog days of summer...this might just be the piece you need. We didn't know it was for us until we put it on, but damn does it fit well. The internal and external pockets make all the difference too. When you've got this 21oz puppy fully buttoned up, you don't want to find yourself reaching for the slide pockets to no avail. So we're super glad they chose the modified type iii silhouette for this superblack non-fade vest.

Fit Notes: Most people size up one in Iron Heart. This time, we brought home the 38, and the 40. It seems that even over a sweatshirt, the 38 fit best. The 40 was a little more bulky and roomy. The pictures below all feature the size 38 or Medium And if you don't, trust the measurement charts. They will tell you everything you need to know. Tommy is 5'10," 170lbs with a 40" chest.

This one has been on our minds for years. We've been waiting for them to bring back some variation of a khaki color to the selvedge world, and we got something even better in this camel color. It's rich and it's slubby, two things variations in the past haven't had. We could see guys wearing this in the office or as an indigo alternative out and about. That extra slubby texture and the starchiness of this denim give it the gumption of an even heavier pair. These have an incredible ability to stack that we just weren't expecting from a 13oz denim. After 5 minutes of wear during the photoshoot, you could clearly see the honeycombs in the legs, so this denim has something incredibly special we haven't quite put our finger on yet. They finished this pair with tonal stitching, copper hardware, and a red selvedge ID.

We were over the moon to get our hands on this extremely limited run of Greencast Slub Selvedge. If you recognize this beautiful fabric, kudos because it's been nearly a decade since its last release as part of the Made in Japan series. It has been their most requested denim since, because everyone loves a greencast. This hue is accomplished by adding a bit of green dye to the batch either just at the beginning or just at the end of the process. It creates a bit of a lighter, less indigo-dense fabric that is easy to see upfront. The real green comes out as the pair fades revealing a gradient of color. Probably the other reason these were so popular is that slubby texture was created by using uneven yarns in the weaving process. This yarn also has loose bits we like to call fleck. You'll see both natural and indigo flecks popping galore on this pair. It's pretty much the trifecta of goodness for the indigo-heads out there. They've finished this pair with copper hardware and subtle contrast stitching. It's truly one of the pairs of the year, and there are only 300 of them made worldwide. If you want 'em, grab 'em early.
