IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

@manufc10 yeah thats how I kinda felt about them. And I was thinking it wouldnt be that bad once the combs set in

[IndigoNoob]

And shoutout to @Giles for creating such an amazing jacket. This thing is a beast and it is finally so nice to have a jacket long enough for me

[Giles]

Great and thanks….

Got my jacket today. What do you guys think of the size? I haven't done a soak yet so there could be a little shrinkage still in it, this would improve the fit in my opinion. This is with a sweater under the jacket, which is the way I will wear it most of the time.

[spitfiredealer]

I would say definitely soak that. Looks like you could benefit from some shrink

[Morrvi]

Do you think it would be enough with a soak or should I go for a smaller size?

[Giles]

I think it is a tad large, I am not sure you will get what you need out of shrinking it.  Why don't you buy the smaller size and return the one that does not fit for a full refund….

niggling mode ON:

You must do IH-101J with this denim.

[IndigoNoob]

Or do a jacket in the XHS because why not

[Giles]

@IndigoNoob:

because why not

Because it would be impossible to produce these in any (if any at all) meaningful quantities.  Constructing the jeans are on the edge of what is possible, a Type III is significantly more complex from a constructional point of view….

[IndigoNoob]

Rip that dream. Yeah I kind of figured it would be nigh impossible

[Giles]

RESTOCKED

[Morrvi]

Trying a smaller size (Medium). It fits better, but I might as well use your expertise to see if you think I got the right one this time.

[manufc10]

@Morrvi it looks like a damn good fit to me.

[Dion]

Yes, it looks great! The denim will settle and you still have some room left to soak/wash it.

I always felt "IH-526L" is little bit too stiff, I love it tho anyone has this experience with compare with this one? if the difference is more than 20% I am ready to sell IH-526L and go with this one!!!

[jiuhoon]

Has anyone hot soaked this yet? Curious about shrinkage.

[IndigoNoob]

I hot soaked mine and pretty much got the .5 inch of shrink that @Giles put in the description

Just bought a XXL on a trip to rivet and hide. Shoulders are a little boxy at the moment but they will drop with wear and a soak. Other than that fits like a dream. Sleeves are a good length too. Not quite as long as my 17oz natural indigo type III, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. All in all a beautiful jacket. Very happy.
