IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown

[Giles]

@footandmaff The first overdye experiment resulted in the jacket shrinking 2 whole sizes.  We are trying another process…..

Make the jackets two sizes bigger …..crazy idea I know .

[Giles]

We can't.  We're trying to sort out some normal 2526J that were fucked up…...

Sounds like a win for small folks…

So, as not many have washed their Cotton Duck Type IIIs - we can expect at least 1 size shrinkage if we really hot wash our non-overdyed ones? I feel like my XXL would be perfect if it shrank just a bit.

That might not actually be so bad for me as I often struggle with IH sizing for tops. Any idea on how small we're talking?

To complicate matters there's the new indigo/indigo type III, decisions, decisions. Have you got an ETA?

I got minimal shrinkage as the product pages suggests, but go head and try, you won't wreck it…

It's academic, as we're not going to use this process, I can't afford to end up with a load of what are effectively XXXS,  XXS and XS…..

[superfuzz]

Yeah, weren't these already kind of small to begin with?

[Giles]

A little….

Sure, completely appreciate that. One of the already sacrificed ones might fit me, that was all.

[Giles]

We sacrificed one.  I guess it would have started off life as an XL.

It's always a win for the small folks with Japanese clothes!

[Occupant]

Does the IHJ-29 mean that we're close to seeing the re-run of these?

[Giles]

The run was initiated the moment the last run screwed up, so they should be here very soon….

[Giles]

Bad news.  The overdying is just not working.  It appears that the duck is too unstable and the results are too unpredictable, so we're calling it a day on experimentation.

Good news is that I will revert to Plan A.  Which is to make the same design Type III, in SBG….

[superfuzz]

^ SBG sounds rad! If I didn't already have the black duck version that would be an insta-cop!

Dream come true, thank you Giles!

Hopefully this drops during fall, so I could just maybe, MAYBE reason myself to buy another jacket..

[Giles]

It should do.  It'll take a couple of months for a sample them about 3 for production…
