10.5oz Herringbone Work Jacket IHJ-164-BLU - Indigo

The Iron Heart IHJ-164-Blu Herringbone Work Jacket in Indigo 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.

Paying homage to the classic mechanic jackets of the 1950s and ’60s, our zippered work jacket is cut for a slightly more relaxed fit than a Type III, while still tailored for a contemporary silhouette.

This model is made from 10.5oz Japanese herringbone twill — a fabric rooted in vintage workwear and renowned for the durability provided by its distinctive zig-zag weave. Like our popular hickory stripe and Wabash fabrics, this herringbone is woven with rope-dyed indigo warp yarns, so you can expect its appearance to fade and evolve with subtle vintage character to complement the retro cut.

For this SS26 update, we’ve tweaked the design slightly since the last time this style of jacket was available — squaring the chest pockets and stitching around the hand warmers for a more angular aesthetic. All other key features of the cut remain, including a two-way zipper with leather zip pull and oversized copper snap fastenings on the chest pockets, cuffs, and cinches.

Our Fit Notes

Iron Heart work jackets typically feature a practical cut with comfortable room through the shoulders and body. The fit allows for easy layering over shirts or lightweight knits.
