Looks great! That's the long length, eh? I really love denim trucker-style jackets, except for the length. I know that it's the way the cut is supposed to be, but it never works with my hips.
What do you think of the century denim? I've never gotten to handle it in person, but it looks so beautiful.

When I bought my first IH Type III, I was a bit shocked at how short it was. I became accustomed to the fit over time and now the longer denim jackets that I have tried on look odd to me. It is humorous that this is the long version. I guess I'm lucky that this jacket even fits me, Kapital doesn't make a whole lot of clothing that does it seems.
The century denim is a true stunner. The indigo thread woven throughout looks like it will fade very nicely.

Very nice fit on the jacket Anesthetist, looks like i already found the answer here to my question in waywt as to what size you took, same size as me.
Good call on taking the long version, the short version seems really short to me.
Do you plan on an intitial wash?
I've worn mine raw untill now, planning on giving it it's first wash this fall, but i'm trying to hold out for just a while longer.It's hard to describe the Century denim sabergirl, it really needs to be felt and seen up close i think to get a notion of the beauty.
it feels pretty rough, and cracks very well, so i'm already seeing some armpit and elbow fading on the indigo threads on mine. -

I'm kind of off topic sabergirl-I've got the selfedge iron heart type III sexih22 in 46 & it's longer than most trucker jackets. It was almost 30 inches before a soak it didn't lose much length. It's loom state. I'm 6'3 and it falls below the belt line.
-
@Mich I haven't soaked it and probably won't until it needs it. When I do it will probably be a quick and in cold as I don't want to risk too much shrink. I have been told to only expect 3% but I don't want to take chances!
-
Nice one Ben. I visited UnionMade in September, what a dangerous place to my wallet! Nice pic on the jacket. Did they have the kakishibu version in stock as well? What size are you out of curiosity.
-
Ant, not sure about the of kakishibu version but there are two color of century denim in their stock, one darker than the other. If i remember it right the one i tried in the picture is 42. Yeah you are right that is a dangerous place they have plentiful of nice stuff. My brother in law a Levi's fanatic and a new raw denim convert ended up buying the 501 1978 rigid.
-
Nice score for your brother in law, I got a little spendy at the Levi flagship myself when I visited SF. You should get the Kapital, it's a really great piece.
-
Nice cheap Kapital fix!

Kapital bandanas are supernice please more detailpics of the prints @Anesthetist
Great pickups -
Sure thing. In my hotel room so the lighting is as good as I'd like. The colors are much better in person.
I like this one so much, I might just have to buy another (or two).

@Davito Gave Mikko a shout, hoping P&L can come through. Thanks for the lead.
@Snowy no worries, I will just have to make the pilgrimage someday. Between IH, Mister Freedom, & Kapital, it may be a while though

What would be the best place to buy those bandanas?
