    It has already been washed, but that thing is so stuffed with indigo, you'll still get transfer…..

        Inside out gentle wash @30C.  Try not to spin too fast.  Don't tumble.

              James, do it. This is the best denim jacket ever. I'll post some pics rocking the Canadian tux next week.

                I think its probably easier to pull off if the denim is at different stages of wear…
                If the denim on the jeans and jacket looks identicle i dont think that is a good look personally!

                  Agreed.

                  For me, the perfect look is denim and tan. So I got a pointer chore coat to go with my IHs.

                  If I wore khakis/tan pants more often, I would definitely buy a type III in denim.

                    Maybe you should consider the superblack or OD type 3 instead. I have both the OD and the black duck (now extinct) type 3 and they go perfectly with blue denim.

                      I have the black duck which i love!
                      But i just think a jacket like this lefty trucker is super timeless… And that creates huge appeal for me!
                      I might have to branch out to different material for pants to solve this issue.

                        Ha ha….cool. The black duck is an underrated beauty.

                        Yeah the lefty is nice, but I'm leaving it for others. I'm with you on blue-on-blue thing!

                          Personally, I have no issue with denim on denim (I guess there would be a problem if I did), but I do prefer different  stages of wear…

                            I'm with G on this one. Although some dudes like Davito can pull off any denim on denim combo. I think that a demin type III is a staple that every guy should have.

                              This jacket is on my wish list , been waiting for one with in and outside pockets. Hope it is not a one off.and becomes
                              a staple item .

                              Giles, are these available from IH Japan ?

                              I'm in the 47% category of those who don't double denim up ( jeans bottom , denim shirt/jacket top )
                              . Made that percentage number up ha ha

                                          I'm torn between a size small in this and a medium in the regular 526J! I had the 526J in size small, but the length and sleeves were a little too short. I'm sure the small in this one would fix that issue, but I don't think I'll like the vertical fading of the lefty denim over time (and I really like the regular 21 oz). Am I overreacting? Do you guys think the denim appearance and qualities are pretty similar overall?
