ORIGIN: Made in Japan
The IHSH-425 is a pared-back iteration of Iron Heart’s core Western/CPO design, one that dispenses with the Western-style front yoke.
The fabric is an 8oz Japanese whipcord — also known as “Jungle Cloth.” This cloth has its origins in military uniform production, where it was prized for its impressive durability and wind resistance. It’s woven to a dense finish using long-fibre combed yarns, creating a tough outer shell with a smooth, soft hand.
In true CPO fashion, the IHSH-425 is cut to fit like an overshirt - slightly longer in the body than Iron Heart’s Westerns - with dual hand-warmer pockets and hefty branded copper snaps. A timeless mix of workwear and militaria, rounded out with felled internal seams and single- and double-needle construction for a future-proof build.
