IHSW-10-BLK - 14oz Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel Cotton Zip Up Hoodie - Black
Iron Heart - Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel Cotton Zip Up Hoodie - Black
Dropping Saturday, March 5th at 1 pm Eastern Standard.
We fell in love with Iron Heart's Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel wovens last year...a love affair that continues for this zip version. The black has always been our tried and true in the pullover..but we think this might just take over as the leading seller. Theres something so simple and iconic about that veg-tan two-way Universal Zipper. The silver breaks up the dense black fabric in just the right way, and it allows for layer-ability as you see in the pictures. This fleece is as hardy as it gets giving it wind protection and a sense of outerwear vibes. It's the end-all-be all to ultra-heavy fleece in our opinion - the best there is.

- Four needle, Union Special flat stitched seams
- Two-way Universal zipper

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a medium in this piece. Iron Heart's Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel stuff is always true to size for us, but most people still buy the next size up. If you are in between, size up for sure. If you are unsure, size up one. Basically, just always size up one from IH unless you're confident that your true size will work. We've noticed the slightest amount of shrinkage in this piece from our previous experience, so keep that in mind. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
Apparel
It's been some time since we've had indigo denim from Freenote, and we couldn't think of a better introduction than this blue/brown. If you know anything about our preferences, you know we love an earth-tone weft. Well, it doesn't get any more earthy than this. The brown on these is deeper than any we've seen from persimmon, turmeric, or catechu dyes in the past. It's a true mocha-colored brown that we think makes for one hell of a stylistic denim. The contrast between indigo and brown is a lot less harsh than that of a traditional jean, and this makes for a better-looking cuff in our opinion. It's also right in our sweet spot for weight. We really dig anything between 14-16oz. It has the perfect amount of crunch to give you all of those wonderful lines around the legs without being so hard to break in. This is the fabric we've been waiting for Freenote to work with for years!

CD-4 Jacket - Black
When we saw this fabric, even via catalog images, we knew we had to have it in the shop. It's such a unique twist for the guys at Freenote that lends to a more contemporary look. If you're like us, you'll think this baby is waxed up front. Crazy enough, it's not. This is a double pigment dyed fabric from Japan that gives off the look of a waxed piece, without all the upkeep of a waxed piece. It has a nice crunchy texture to it that even feels waxed in person. We couldn't believe our ears when they told us about it at a recent show. It's lined throughout the body with Alpaca and the sleeves have this gorgeous burnt orange satin. This thing is truly luxurious. It's so warm and looks so damn good. It functions like an N-1 at about half the price!
Jepson Sashiko Plaid - Indigo
The Jepson is a known staple at this point, but their ability to make it look new with every release is pretty astonishing. We said that last time but they've done it again. A mix of sashiko and plaid is almost too much to handle. It's a classic 2 pocket shirt that can be worn with almost anything. It has so many layers to explore right now, and even more, will expose its true nature once the indigo starts to fade. This baby is a standalone piece that doesn't really need other layers to make it pop.
Kurt Jacket - Indigo Single Stripe
The single stripe has become a staple at the shop over the last couple of years, but always in pant form. When we saw this classic chore coat-style work jacket come up, we couldn't say no. This fabric always constructs so nicely and the indigo pops like crazy when it's hit with the one wash. We are super intrigued by the mismatched pockets and all the extra sewing work throughout. The extra pockets and banded collar are the extra details that draw you in, but most people stay for that gorgeous Japanese fabric.
