This is my first time posting so fit pics so don’t judge too hard. I had to set the timer up and use my front camera from a low angle…I guess this is the angle my children see

The new flyers club Jacket is a M, fits really well and I took a picture of the lining which now has some insulation.

Hello, I thought about doing this for a while but never did. I am Tim and I'm South African but I have been living in Hamburg with my family for nearly 8 years. We moved here for work, not the weather, but the weather does give me a chance to wear some great stuff including many items from Iron Heart. I've been a fan of Iron Heart for a few years and I've slowly been building up a nice collection but I haven't really posted on the forum much, I've been lurking in the shadows until @goosehd convinced me to start posting. Please direct you complaints directly to @goosehd

Thanks for having me and please try not to make anything really cool for a while.

Blanket Lined Duck Canvas Jacket

Hello!

I have been a fan of the forum and IH for years and I have many great items which I am absolutely loving. I have waited in the shadows for a particular jacket for a few years but I have never seen it. I now feel compelled to ask about this jacket and I am really curious to know why IH doesn't do something like this.

The jacket I so love is a blanket lined duck canvas jacket (brown, black or blue). I had the original Carhartt Detroit but the fit is not on point for me. I currently own the Carhartt WIP version which is, in my opinion, a really nice interpretation of the original jacket. However, it's modernized for the masses and is somewhat 'streetware' which means it has some short comings.

I searched the forum but I could not find a topic like this so here it is:
Would IH ever make, or has IH ever made, a blanket lined duck canvas jacket with a corduroy collar. I do own the whipcord jacket which has the cord collar and ventile lining which absolutely rips (IHJ-61), but it's not warm enough for Hamburg.

Since you asked for my opinion, I would say that jacket (IHJ-61) without the button at the hem, and perhaps with a single slit breast pocket, made from the 17oz duck canvas and lined with the blanket lining from the 101J in both black and brown would mean I will likely never ever take it off ever again. I'll show myself out now.

Thanks!

This is the best flannel you have made. It's an overdyed version of the best colour way from the season (IMO), which I never bought because I'm too black metal to wear so many colours! It's so good and it looks different in different lights; my wife thinks I have two of these depending on how sunny it is.

I know this is a random post but this shirt needs some extra love; so happy these exist!

I was just perusing the site, as one does, and noticed there are still all the sizes on this one. How!?

I saw this shirt at Burg and Schild in Berlin, and although I managed to get myself out of the store without it I didn't make the train ride home before placing the order. This is hands down tied for the best shirt I bought last year. What did it tie with you are thinking? It's the 342-OD; I wanted a overdyed flannel for a long time and literally rushed to the Hamburg store when you released those.

My advice: buy this shirt and give yourself a pat on the back for the excellent choice you made

Since I was doing this, I took some pictures of the varisty jacket too. Its a size small but fits almost as well as the M flyers club, just too slim to add a liner jacket but a thick flanel fits without a problem. I’m wearing the UES here but the UHF fits easily too.

@manufc10 Thanks for the feedback. The measurements confirm your statements

Looks like sizing down to a S is the way to go for me. Feels weird to take a small size in IH, normally it's pretty snug but this one is definitely cut differently. Not a bad thing, I often size down to S in American brands or some of the Swedish Americana stuff like Indigofera.

I am really excited for this one! How heavy does this jacket feel compared to the N1? I had an A2 from Buzz Rickson some years ago (in a medium and the measurements are almost identical to the IH A2 in size S), at I really liked how light and soft it was. The problem with that jacket was the zipper, the number of times I gave up trying to zip it up and just buttoned it. Period correct are zippers are cool in theory...ideal and ykk number 8's are the best in real life.

There have been a couple of good shows here in Hamburg recently.

Scowl and Zulu played a few weeks back and ripped, I’m still buzzing from that show. If you don’t know Scowl, you should check them out.

Gel is playing tonight am I am really looking forward to it.

Anyone else here heard these bands?

@goosehd Thanks for the messages and here are some pictures!

I really like the writing on the inside, looks like it was part of the demin before the jacket was cut and sewn. I'm not expert on this jacket but it's a really nice piece.

Hello friendly IH friends,
I am here for some top tips for those of you who have. I have been a fan of Dehen for some time and have a few of their pieces which I wear a lot, specifically the varisty jacket and the crissman wool shirts; they're absolute fire. I had some of the sweaters and cardigans too but the cuffs got to me, after wearing it all day I felt like my arms where slowly being suffocated and by the end of the day couldn't wait to get it off. I think that kind of cuff, the one on the cardigan, lends itself better to a jacket, in my limited an humble opinion of course.

Enter the question zone: I am considering the flyers club jacket in the 24oz melton wool as a layerable (I think I just made that word up, I take full credit for smoothlessly sliding it in) winter alternative to a very serious ceccarelli waxed down jacket I have for those ever so sunny and bright winter days in Hamburg. What's the word on the street about the flyers club jacket? I love the silhouette of the Jacket and the gold zipper really pops against the black wool. Don't get me started on the orange lining, damn, I love it. So, I'm sold on the Jacket but, and it's a big but, is it warm? Anyone?

Nice, thanks for the feedback. I have had my eye on them for some time but I'm not really the biggest fan of the Nylon or poly cotton stuff, I get that it has some charm to it and it's light and durable but I don't really see myself grabbing it.

Then I realize they also do some limited runs of actually nice stuff like I mentioned before and well, this changes things. Did anyone see this?

Thank you, still excited to be the luckiest guy.

It's quite a bit warmer than the lined waxed canvas one; the lighter version retains almost no warmth, it's more a shell jacket that is better for bad weather, whereas the wool one with the insulation is actually warm and retains heat. I would not stand outside in freezing cold in it from prolonged periods but if your layering game is good and you have a liner, like the IHJ-118 or an insulated vest, something slim like the Carhartt WIP classic vest, then you're good to go even when it's really cold in my experience (really cold for me would be around 0°C, below that is exclusively down jacket time because being cold sucks).

The collar on the flyers club jacket also really makes a difference and did I already mention how soft it is? I know I keep going on about it, but it's really that good.

Hello!

I have this Andersen Andersen merino wool sweater for sale. I haven‘t worn it much, I bought it to check the brand out. Its really a nice quality wool piece and isn‘t itchy at all. Its merino wool and medium weight. I have a cotton sweater which is the same colour and I tend to wear that rather than this.

The colour is Khaki and the messurements are:
Pit to pit: 53cm
Shoulder width: 56cm
Opening: 49cm
Back length excluding ribbing: 61cm
Sleeve length: 53cm folded, 58cm unfolded

Asking 200€ shipped in Europe and outside Europe we can split the cost.

Hand warmer pockets are really subjective, I'm on the other side here and really like the higher handwarmer pockets. It's one of the reasons I like their jackets so much.

On the sizing, I'm on the border between 38 and 40 and I've found that the bigger size in their jackets is the way to go. If I wear a 38 it fits nicely and it looks perfect but when it's actually cold out and you want to layer then you need the extra room.

@gazza61 Same here! I also have 3. They fit the best of any that I have tried!

@goosehd I think this is the first time I put a post in the right place! Self five!

Hello! Does anyone have any of the jackets from Crescent Down Works? I have been perusing their stuff recently and would be really interested in a down sweater but I have never seen anything from them.

They did a 50 year run this year with 2 waxed canvas options without the hood and a wool collar and cuffs from Dehen which I have been staring at for days. Luckily (not really) they're sold out already.

Hello!

The ebay gods were good to me in December and I found a waxed canvas flyers club jacket. It's the non insulated jacket and it's, as @Mizmazzle says, not a warm jacket at all. It's great when layered with something like the IH (IHJ-118) liner under it, or even a thick wool sweater and one of the Carhartt WIP classic vests underneath it, then it does a great job. I was out in Berlin in December and with the aforementioned layering I was good down to 0°C in some ice rain. Popping that Mouton collar up really makes a huge difference and it's oh so soft.

Another thing worth mentioning is that it's much roomier without the padding on the heavy duty version and, this is an older version of the jacket, and the sleeves are much shorter. Still, really nice jacket, would recommend it fosho!

Hello!

I was browsing and noticed there is nothing about this brand on the forum. I have been a big fan of theirs for years and I use their jackets year round since they focus on waxed canvas and the finishing and craftmanship is easily on IH level. The weight of the waxed canvas is only around 8oz if I am not mistaken, so it works as a really nice water proof layer all year depending on the insulation you have in the jacket; it goes all the way from 800 fill goose down to a simple cotton tartan lining.

In case anyone else here is and a big fan or would like to get into the brand let's talk, I've got a number of their pieces and can highly recommend them.

I had one of the original Filson 'black line' mountain jackets which Ceccarelli made when they were still Filson's European manufacturer which I wore a lot and only recently sold because it was too small for me.

Some really killer patina potential on these waxed jackets!

Hey gang, just some feedback on the insulated flyers club jacket. I have been wearing it quite a bit and it's warmer than I thought it would be. Today it was 2°C on the bike with the children on the way to school and layered with a long sleeve Tshirt, not a thick one, and a medium weight wool jumper I was more than warm enough even in the wind.

Really great jacket, I like it so much I might need to pick the waxed one up too. The mouton is super soft and warm and the fit is really on point, definitely on of my favourite jackets! It's also not a super heavy jacket, the wool version that is, which is nice. I also have the heavy duty zip hoodie and that is much heavier and not nearly as warm. Still super cool though!
