Hi, all! First time posting but am so excited about this jacket that I felt the need to! Picked it up from Mildblend in Chicago today and love it. The linen/cotton blend is very unique and feels great. Very nice drape, no break-in necessary. Can likely wear year round with exception of really hot days. If anyone is on the fence, highly recommend. Cheers!

@tvaillant75 I had the chance to try on both and much preferred this one for its fit and feel, but I also already have a few more traditional selvedge jackets in the collection. The 19 oz. is what you would expect from a well-made raw IH jacket - very stiff but will break in nicely if you put the work in. I will say - I would have sized up to a Large in the 19 oz. Took my typical Medium in the blend.

In my opinion, the blend may be a little more versatile because you can wear it year round. But it will lack the break in and fading process that is so much fun with raw denim.

Hope this helps!

@goosehd Thank you! Pretty blown away by the sense of community around the brand. Looking forward to beginning the journey and becoming a part of it.
