IH-526BJ - 18oz Raw Indigo Type III

[RocknRoll]

I'm with you, MP - I just don't feel right if the arms aren't long enough.

Just looking at your fit pics, and it doesn't look too baggy around the body at all. What height are you, sir?

[Morose_Penguin]

Sorry for the late response, erm I can't think of a situation where I've needed to know my exact measurements. Under 6 foot I think, certainly shorter than Giles but taller than Paula. I can't remember having my photo took with either Rafa or Ruedi… But enough rambling, more pics:

[RocknRoll]

That is looking very nice!

You're pretty much the only person keeping this thread alive - keep it up!

[Morose_Penguin]

Thanks RnR. Seems like the weather is cool again today, so I'll be wearing it again.

[Schorsch]

I'd wear mine more often, but the weather is either too hot or rain and storm these days, so expect more updates in autumn.

[Morose_Penguin]

Yep I was too optimistic with my forecasting ability too warm today…

Someone knows how turns the oz. of this jacket after soaking?

[Giles]

About 19oz

[Concret]

Thanks.
I'm trying to decide between this and the 526J.
This would be my winter-layered-jacket(i live in NL). I though the obvious choice it was to take the thicker one, 21oz. But  compare to 19oz., there is not much difference.
Which one have the richer contrast at a long therm?

[Giles]

The IH-526BJ, no question….

[Concret]

Ok, then I think ill go with the 526J, since I want a jacket tha wouldt stay "blue" for longer period of time. Either way, a tough choice.

[Finn666]

well dunno…just thought I should ask since I'm after a denim type III (since today ).,.

[7tacos]

Once you get one, you'll wonder why it wasn't the very first thing you bought from IH.  Don't go too trim, though, unless you plan on getting two or three.

They're endangered and all gone except 1 size XS….too late for this one I'm afraid.

Sometimes I can do a restock, but if they are not held in Japan (which these aren't) I can't.  Had these sold quicker, then I would have kept them as extant, but for some completely unknown reason (as I think they are the best unmodified Type III's on the market), they did not sell very fast, so they won't happen again….

[Finn666]

fekk …searching for a L or XL btw. if anybody wants to know

[Morose_Penguin]

Inspired by Rafa to drag myself upright and outside into the cold. Various pics of my 526BJ…

And a few more detail shots,

It's a L btw

Sorry for the mass of pics…
