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

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

As in really quickly?

[Max Power]

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

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.

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….

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

[Dion]

I absolutely second this because it's exactly my treatment as well. No probs at all.

[Max Power]

Thanks all. Soaking has been done, but due to the bleeding fabric I think it's safe to stay with the handwashing technique. Damn, I really love this jacket  and the fabric so much, I think of getting the Type III as well.

[Giles]

I'm wearing the vest at the moment…..

[Max Power]

^Pictures?

[Giles]

It's boring from the back, just looks like IHV-02 without the stripes at the side….

[madmonday]
