IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
I just got this jacket and it's just flippin' amazing! And I say that as a man who owns more type IIIs than I'd like to count. I was so close to not pulling the trigger on it on account of the ludicrous number of type IIIs that I own but the measurements were right in all of the right places.
The 526Lod seems to be a little slimmer than all of my other type IIIs, which is great! I usually have to use the second button on the back of type IIIs so that they don't balloon in the back, but this one fits amazingly well on the first button! First time that's ever happened. The sleeves and the chest all fit wonderfully over a t-shirt, which was my intended fit. The sleeves are sometimes bordering on too-long on some of these but this one fits so perfectly, the length is spot-on. I swear that this feels like a jacket tailored just to me, which makes me think it must fit the rest of you dreadfully
Pockets! The side pockets are so practical, and they form internal pockets! And, the OD…I adore the OD! I don't know if it's the OD process that does it, but my 18oz CPO shirt does this thing where it sounds like a creaky boat when I move my arms in a certain way, I'm happy to say that this jacket is also a creaky boat
For your listening pleasure, here's a link to an audio recording I made of the fabric "creaking" as I moved my arm:https://soundcloud.com/paul-fernandez-683666121/creaky-boat/s-20kgv
And a pic!
Love this jacket!

Looks great on you @Paul9221
Are those the 816 grey whipcords you're wearing as well?

Thanks! Yessir, they sure are! I picked up the last 33, I think. Such amazing pants! Do you have a pair?
I was THIS close to picking up the IH-816 in olive the second that I tried these on but then I learned of the IH-720 olive that's due to come out in fall/winter of this year. Now I'm holding out for that.

I love the creaky boat description. This thing has a lot of sonic qualities that really augment the already-sartorially-awesome-ness of this jacket. I kept feeling vibrations like my cellphone was vibrating when I moved my arms, so I quit putting my phone in the pocket because I was constantly needing to check it. Also, there's a cool drum-like quality when it is "flicked", probably due to the tension in the weave. Oh, it's also easily the best jackets I've ever put on (I love my IHJ-46 and IH-526J, but this one is really special). If there were a 777 in 19 oz OD, I'd be all over it.

I do own a pair, as well as a pair of the olive whipcords. Great pants indeed. They look good on you.

Haha, yes! I was just doing that flick test yesterday! Flicking the material sounded to me like flicking a really thick stack of papers or notepad.

I have a feeling those creaky boat noises will leads to epic fades one day…

Nice choice of trousers Paul. So good. I own 2 pair of the 816-GRY. One is to destroy at work.
They look particularly great with IH OD as you have demonstrated. I love mine with the IHSH-178 CPO.

Any chance of getting this fabric in a 666, 777 or 888 cut? I'd put money on them selling out pretty quickly.
I'm a massive fan of your overdyed fabric, but the left hand twill version is by far the most beautiful. I'm seriously considering getting a pair of 888S-OD, but would much prefer some jeans in 19oz LHT if they were made.
Is it just me or do you apply more black (over)dye to the heavier denim? The weft on the 14oz and newer 18oz overdyed (as seen in Self Edge exclusive 301S-OD) is bluer, compared to the black weft of the heavier fabric. It also seems like there's more blue show-through on the lighter weight denim with fading compared to the greyer fades of heavier weights.

Probably not, the denim is so unstable.

Yes, well spotted

Cool, great info. IMO the 14 oz overdyed is the most beautiful of them. The M 65 looked so good withthat greenish-blue shine.

I'll have to just hold out and pray that you change your mind on the 19oz LHT. As a denimhead, hearing that a denim is unstable just makes me want it even more.
In the meantime I might have to just go ahead and get the 888S-OD in 21oz while they're in stock. I'm craving some soft and warm jeans to wear to work this winter.Was it intentional that the latest 18oz release has less that previous releases? Are you planning to tone down the amount of overdye on future models to let more indigo show through?

Wish we would get some cool summer weather. Hate seeing this jacket just hang idle on my door…poor thing haha.

No plans as it stands
Is there any change of plan for IH-526Lod? And if so, any ETA in 2018 ?
