Looks great georgeel, that level of wear clearly makes a big difference…

This might be a dumb question but how much do these jackets bleed onto your shirts underneath?  If I consistently wear a white tshirt underneath, should I plan to have these slowly fade to light blue?

[cadence]

Sorry you haven't got a response in some time. I would say they bleed enough. Kind of like the blue onto your shoes from your jeans. I would guess it won't happen on one wear (unless maybe it gets wet) but I wouldn't wear anything you're afraid might change color. I wear mostly darker colors so I haven't noticed anything specific.

Oh and just so I'm clear, i would only really expect color to wear on the parts that are showing the outer indigo on the inside of the jacket.

I havent noticed any bleed to speak of, but I also wear mostly dark colors….

Mini restock…

@Giles ,This really is a great jacket. As you know I just wore it to Gosport, I decided this will be this years winter jacket. I get more compliments on this jacket than almost anything I wear. Today by a flight attendant on boarding my flight, then by the hotel receptionist.

[Giles]

Cool.  Sorry we did not have the IH-9527J for you to try…...

My Rider about a year after taking the initial pics.  It has softened up a lot but it's still fighting me.  I plan to really try to wear this more/a lot this Fall-Spring.

This truly is such a functional jacket for the purpose it was designed (riding a motorcycle)… It's perfect really.

This jacket is terrific! I can't wait to get to my blanket lined one waiting for me at the house! I'm working out of state. The wait is driving me crazy.

@Filthy25ozJunkie you will love the 527J-SP - the blanket and insulated sleeves really do keep you nice and warm. I upsided mine so I can wear hoodies underneath when it's really cold out and works like a charm.

@Bluegrass perfect fit on your rider jacket! Looks like the combs around the elbows are getting nice and set in!

[Bluegrass]

Thanks - yes, the elbows are looking good - this one is going to be really slow to break in, but the pics I've seen of well-worn 527Js tell me it is going to be fantastic.  Having a sedentary job makes it hard to get much "hard" wear under my belt.  Patience is my only choice and it will pay off eventually…

[Bluegrass]

P.S. @georgeel how is yours coming along?

[HeavyGenes]

Looks great @Bluegrass what size is that?

[Bluegrass]

It's big boy size, XXXL.  I'm 6'6" 235 lbs.

@Bluegrass:

P.S. @georgeel how is yours coming along?

It's still my N°1 midseason jacket! I wore it on a t-shirt until the other day. It has been hard to break-in, but now is as comfortable and soft as a good old pair of 634s.

99% sure I saw a guy waking around here in Austin wearing one of these today.
Anybody?
