Perfect fit! That extra heavy black is nice stuff isn't it?

Holy crap it is nice. And not as stiff as I thought. A win all the way around. Wearable immediately. I like the details very much. They have taken a basic design and made the cut solidly stylish, especially with the details; red lining chest pocket, leather pulls, hearty nickle zippers with nice contrasting zipper tape, very well designed shoulder gussets and that NON Fade Super Black. Gorgeous.

And it is true. I have followed Monitor's great denim posts without saying a word for months; Ton gets on the denim bandwagon and everyone loses their shit!!!!

That does fit you perfectly and it's an awesome jacket! I've always wanted one but figured I'd go with the Type-3 for my first few heavy denim jackets. How are the shoulder gussets kept inside since there's no elastic band holding them in place, like on leather jackets? Something I've always wondered about.

The gussets do not seem to have anything other than the super thick denim and stitching that encourages them to pop back when not stressed.

I told you! Didn't I tell you? And you know things are getting out of hand when @tmitchell59 starts releasing videos of denim jackets and @navetsea's designing a custom trucker! This place ain't what it used to be and I love it!

i always suspect we human have hive mind and someone up there secretly changes our view and perspective from time to time just for laugh.

I predict, after this denim hype ends, it would be bolero time even HD will sport one.... I'm sure of it.

I really, really like this one! Looks super sturdy, too.

Thanks! The deerskin is certainly softer than the HH, but it does still feel more than durable enough. Plus, I can't complain about the added comfort!

Rolling the sleeves looks cool.
You always display great style.
Thanks man I really appreciate that!

What a great looking jacket Dude!
I remember when I saw that one for the first time a few years ago and it blew me away. I was pretty new to the jacket thing and did not understand what all the hype was about Japanese jackets, the Freewheelers Sunset is the one that made me sit up and pay attention.

This was definitely one that I noticed immediately. I love the design so much. A cross zip, but not a motorcycle jacket.

Iron Heart. Rider.
21 ounces of super black denim.

Love the fit.
Trim. Great shoulder gusset action.

Thank you to those who introduced me to heavy denim.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! LOVE everything about this jacket, that red inner of the chest pocket really pops things up. I'm going to be in NYC in a month or so, you know I'm going to have to stop by Self Edge now, you enablers!
