The Iron Heart BSPTIII22oz Overdyed Jacket & New Runs of Every Other Imaginable Thing

The Iron Heart BSPTIII22oz overdyed jacket is here! This is a limited edition overdyed denim jacket made out of a base 22oz Japanese denim with an indigo warp and dark beige weft. These jackets have been overdyed black with a fugitive pigment dye which is an unstable and un-permanent dye that fades to later show the indigo denim underneath. The jacket itself is based off a traditional Type III denim jacket with added hand pockets a slight bit of length added to the body so it can easily worn with untucked shirts.

Along with these jackets we've received new production runs of left hand twill denim jackets and the 633 straight tapered, 888 high rise slim, and 777 slim tapered jeans in various denim weights in both indigo and overdyed versions.

You can find all these items now at all stores and online.

Fine Creek Leathers Leon Custom Jackets

Fine Creek Leathers’ Leon Custom jacket here is, available now in a 1.3mm all-season horsehide. These things age like nothing else and are sewn with massive attention to detail. They can achieve this because they’re (from what we know) one of the only small leather jacket brands in Japan making their jackets in-house in their own sewing studio. Yoshi Yamazaki, the creative director, is a detail freak and it shows once you start seeing how the leather ages and how the seams pucker over time with regular wear.

These are available now at our four US stores and online. Please check the product page for a full spec list, measurements, and detail photos.

Hi, can you tell me the difference between these two jackets? They look very similar to me other than the sheen on the photographs.



Thanks

These are the same jacket just in two different leather thicknesses.
The photos of the first one you linked to are of the 1.3mm leather and the photos of the second you linked to is the now out of stock 2mm version.

Ok, thanks. For me, the copy for both links says 1.3mm.

I am really curious about the new 3sixteen 40BSP, the cut looks great, would you have a close picture of the denim?

Thumbs up, great denim and a great cut, one of my favorite pairs. I wish there were a little less taper from the knee down but overall pretty great.

I wore mine while doing a huge construction project in my backyard and they are indestructible. I just want to get mine hemmed more but with covid I havent needed to wear denim and so its been low on my priority list

what´s the fading like?

In my experience, they hold their color pretty well! I did 3 weeks of heavy lifting/gardening where they got muddy and dirty but after a cold wash they came out unscathed. I just need to wear them more often
