12oz Whipcord Tanker Jacket IHM-52-KHA - Khaki

The Iron Heart IHM-52-KHA 12oz Wipcord Tanker Jacket is available at Rugged Gentlemen Shoppe with fast local shipping and easy returns. As Iron Heart garments are produced in limited quantities, availability can vary across retailers once certain sizes sell out.

Inspired by the jackets issued to US servicemen in the 1940s, our whipcord tanker jacket is designed to offer authentic military style with functionality for everyday wear. For this FW26 update, we've opted to use a reactive-dyed fabric, the same as that found on our signature N1 deck jacket. This replaces the sulphur-dyed whipcord that featured on previous versions of this jacket, resulting in a richer shade of khaki and ensuring longer-lasting colour.

As with all our military cuts, this isn’t a strict reproduction piece — the classic tanker silhouette has been given a typical Iron Heart overhaul. Along with the tough whipcord outer shell, we’ve added a weather-resistant Japanese Ventile lining for a layer of protection against wind and rain, while remaining lightweight and highly breathable.

Our Fit Notes

These jackets are designed with functionality in mind, offering a comfortable fit that accommodates layering while maintaining a structured silhouette.
