IH-526J-22OD - 22oz Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Indigo Overdyed Black

[Oaktavia]

69 wears no wash. The colors of this denim shine brightly in the sun. It is alluring to see a dark, muted denim revealed in glistening glory. I'm going to hold off on a wash for now and see where it goes from here. This jacket is taking the driver's seat over my 140IG.

She's definitely built for a beating. Gets softer with every wear.

It's undead no more fabric AFAIK.

Such a pity. I’m always looking for really short but great fading jackets.

@Oaktavia No washing machine on this one, just soak? Not there yet on mine but then need to figure out what to do.

@natefreezy I've machine washed mine at low temperature and no spin. That went fine: no marbling or shrinkage whatsoever

Usually if I feel the need to wash a denim garment a little sooner than expected, I just do a handwash in my bathtub. Little agitation here and there, low effort really. That usually buys me 25-30 more wears before I soak it and then chuck it into the washing machine. As @Lowlander said, should be just fine.

Loving this 22oz OD. Totally broken in and comfortable.

[yannis]

@Oaktavia. It's a great jacket. I wear mine often also and for a 22oz it's so soft and versatile, buttons really easy. It's such a great piece!

[Oaktavia]

@yannis yep, exactly! So happy to have this one.
