@goosehd I finally worked up the courage to try this, and yes, it totally works with a seam ripper. I also used tweezers to pluck away at the threads and bits. Thanks @Mister_Brue for the tip.

For anyone else trying this, the key is that the label is made of a much more fragile fabric than the stitches or the denim, at least on my IHSH-293-OD. Just have to slowly and carefully fray the label and it will gradually break away as you use the seam ripper to break up the threads and pluck away at them with tweezers.

@meatmarketdenim1 looks great! Did you hear anything about self edge stocking this? Nothing on their website yet. I’m in Austin where they’ve had a store for a few months now.

@Lowlander These look great!! May I ask: how long did you wear them to achieve this?

Also, do you find the 142bb to be hot? Some have said the broken twill 14 oz is more breathable. Curious to hear your take as someone who has clearly put the work in to this pair.

Congrats and I look forward to following how they evolve!

@meatmarketdenim1 Thanks man! And now I see earlier in the thread of course they list the stockists.

How warm was it? Would you compare to a UHF?

This is very helpful! Thanks for these tips y’all

Would love to see more denim tote bags.
Denim ball cap?
Also would be cool to have Tsuri-Ami tshirts in larger and/or boxier sizes. Side-seams on Tsuri-Ami tshirts never bothered me! I buy them for the fabric.

@mjdnm thanks! How would you describe the fabric? Trying to understand the description a bit more. Fabric there’s always my favorite thing about Ironheart

@mjdnm cool! How warm is this shirt? I’m in Texas so just wondering at what temp it might start to be uncomfortable. That will determine how many months per year I could wear this beautiful shirt! Thanks

@Graham said in IH-526J-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey):

@pacreamer

Stockists will be posted when they land here once all numbers have been confirmed and each stockist order is guaranteed to be fulfilled.

Please forgive me if it’s not appropriate to ask, but could you say approximately when this might be at Self Edge (or at any stockists in the USA)? Would we be talking weeks or months?

Thank you. It looks absolutely stunning, especially with this limited edition Black W. I have a pair of 8301 SBG and I took a black sharpie to the Red W. (Please don’t excommunicate me.) The idea of a rare Black W on a Type III in this dream fabric is simply irresistible.

@WhiskeySandwich Wow! Those almost look like indigo or 142ib in that light.

@bonguno looks great! I’d go relaxed fit too. How warm is it?
