Inspired by the classic Levi's design from 1962, our modified take on the “Type III” jacket is cut slightly longer in the body, with the addition of hand-warmer pockets — the construction of which also creates two internal storage pockets.

This version is made from our incredibly robust 19oz left-hand twill, woven under extreme tension to produce a dark indigo denim — resulting in one of our toughest Type III jackets to date. As the denim is unsanforized — and unlike our 19oz "lefty" jeans, we don't one-wash this model — it creates a rarity in the Iron Heart lineup: a raw selvedge denim jacket.

Being a raw fabric, this denim is shrink-to-fit and will require time and effort to break in. But trust us, the fade potential on offer here is legendary.

Fabric Focus

Unsanforized & Unwashed

- This is a raw denim that has not been sanforized. Sanforization is a post-weave mechanical process that removes most potential shrinkage from a fabric before garment construction. Therefore, since this is an unsanforized fabric, this jacket is shrink-to-fit and requires soaking or washing to achieve its true size
- Unlike most of our jeans and jackets, we have also not washed the finished garment in an industrial washing machine, so shrinkage remains

- The shrinkage will depend on how hot and vigorously the jacket is washed. Expect approximately 1" to 1.5" shrinkage in the sleeve and body length, with all other dimensions shrinking proportionately

Care Guidelines

- We recommend washing this garment at 30°C with a low (or no) spin cycle. Hang dry, do not tumble dry
