IH-101J - 1946 101J Riders Jacket
-
Original lee denim had this characteristic vertical line fades formation whenever denim is stretched & strained, I guess Flathead created this, I do have HD Lee 101S, creating vertical lines, look at these pictures carefully you may notice vertical line fades
@rohitsingh those fades look great. Just to expand on what you said, in my experience you can/will get heavy vertical line fading on jeans using many of the denims made by Cone Mills.

@den213:
G, IH has so much love for type IIIs, it's very nice to see an interpretation of the Rider now. How about other options in the future? Maybe a ''modified'' Rider (longer in the body and with side pockets, similiar to the modern 101 Riders), made of 19 LHT (Lefty Rider ;D) or 21 oz so IH'll have another 21-oz-jacket besides the 526J?
Possible, but we have a shit load of jackets either available or imminent, so won't be for a while….

Will the other Type II have a cinch as well?

@BloodnThunder I guess originally Cone Mills denim fades more evenly, but now days you see lot of variations… I do have few Cone Mills denim from LVC, Tellason and few other, mostly smooth & soft in texture, but I do have slim Lee101s, I guess its from Kaihara mill in Japan, initially it was smooth but within a month it started forming vertical lines mostly where it was stretched, but I know Flat Head denims create more prominent lines, look at the top most picture!!!

I like the brass instead of plastic on the back buttons.

Totally spontaneous purchase my girl talked me into. I'm super exhausted from looking for wedding venues and so the pictures came out pretty bad - the fit is better in reality and I guess will improve when the denim breaks in and the sleeves don't appear as wide. It's a 42 btw.
