[Snowy]

Love it Finn BTW. Been said enough. Really looking forward to the rest of the spring seeing updates from you and @Max Power !!!

[Finkster]

This Jacket is now 2 weeks on the market - and grows more and more to an epic "must-have"
… Damn ... Decisions, decisions 

Nice fit-pics by the way

[Finn666]

Better late than never. Cut my hand bad enough that it wouldn't make it through the sleeves. Loving this jacket as it breaks in.

[Max Power]

And it looks awesome on you! What boots are those - Danner or Viber or…?

[Licorice Noose]

Thanks! They're Danner Overtons that I had resoled with vibram Sierra soles from their USMC contract boots. They've been awesome.

Glad you like the jacket, it's really nice. And I don't want to sound like an idiot repeating myself over and over again, but it is actually really nice to see that our first collaboration is not only a success, but that it suits our people real fine!!

dope image @Licorice Noose & that fit isn't bad either.

@Max:

Gotta agree - I dislike the boxy short fit of Type Is, but this one is really different. The stiffness is awesome - it actually doesn't move at all when you put them on for the first time after the soak.

Looks nice! Jacket, Jeans, Boots - everything okay. Only the dirty weather sucks!

I really did this jacket.  The modern fit is fantastic.

[Max Power]

Mine is Fading like no other fabric I've seen before. I'll try to take Pictures tonight.

[spitfiredealer]

As in really quickly?

[Max Power]

As in "I can lietrally see the Indigo wearing off". And the electric blue coming through is beautiful.

[spitfiredealer]

Look forward to pics. I have been wearing my lefty everyday and so far nothing really happening. Be interesting to see the difference after a year of these jackets

[Max Power]

I am really torn wether I like the fast Fading or not. I think a worn in jacket Looks way better than a new one, so I embrace the fast Fading. I just fear it might result in too much contrast.

[Giles]

Wash it more regularly than you would normally, that's what I'm doing with my Loom Breakers….

[Max Power]

I'm a bit scared of washing lines. How do you do it - low spin rate & in a bag?

[Giles]

I always soak first.  I then wash inside out at 30C with the slowest spin the machine does, I then drip dry.  You could always hand wash, that would be safer….

[grandmasterben]

^my method is exact same as Giles and I've never had any weird lines or creasing
