Selfie-hand, of course is not a selfie-stick, but as they say, what was at hand...

@ton312 have you ever owned the 526L? If so, how would you compare and what do you prefer?

@jpvisual The individual that you tagged has not been on the forum since Nov 2023. I don't think that they will respond.

@goosehd thanks and good to know! I'm just trying to get some opinions on the the 526-PJ vs the 526L from those who own both, what they prefer and why.

[Luijim78]

@jpvisual the 526pj is much softer and more comfortable but much more tenacious and difficult to dissolve, the Lefty indigo is initially in armour then softens a lot but always remains nice and crunchy and easier to dissolve.I love them both but I prefer the Lefty for its consistency

[jpvisual]

@Luijim78 thanks for the post. Did you get the same size in both jackets? I'm leaning towards the Lefty, but a bit worried on sizing it correctly because it shrinks.

[Luijim78]

@jpvisual there is not much shrinkage more than anything it adjusts to your body with a warm soak, however as you may have noticed it is already slightly wider and longer in the corresponding size compared to the 526pj. Get your usual size and you will have no problems in my opinion

@coffeetv did you ever pick up a 526L? If so, how do you like it compared to the 526PJ?

[jpvisual]

@Luijim78 ok thanks, this is helpful!

@Yoprst LAYERS!

@Yoprst absolutely love this!

Curious as to how the horizon fade lines above the middle buttons of the jacket came from?

[Giles]

It is where the handwarmer pocket lining is sewn into the placket. You can also see it at the side seams......

Which is one of the reasons we offer non-pocketed versions, as some people can't deal with that......

[T4920]

The more I see photos of broken in 526s, the more I want one instead of the Indigo Lefty as my next denim jacket...

It might even be enjoyable to have something comfortable and soft for change...

@Luijim78 Question for you: when you say the 526PJ is more difficult to dissolve, do you mean that it's harder to fade than the Lefty? Just was curious.
