looks great mate

Ha, I just crumbled and bought one.  It's just too nice looking and being superblack means I don't need to make any effort to break it in, so I can keep working on the indigo version.

Here it is with the 155 black.

The 101s are under-represented here.  Not great quality close up of my WAYWT, with the 33-blk.

Thanks, @Jordan23 . It‘s a totaly different beast then the tour jacket, but I like it very much.

Looking at this thread makes me wonder why I don't own one of these… SB denim, a brilliant, classic design, my favoured colour hardware. It's perfect The obvious answer to that is that I have more jean jacket variants than I'll ever need, but still.

@wdw  @Cole @den1mhead you all rock it wonderfully.

It's on my list as well but the IH-526PJ comes first…

Change of plan: Since the 526PJ ist still far away I went for this endangered beast instead as I can always go for the former next year. Hurry up, UPS!

Boom! Congratulations @Dion  I’ve always been a fan of this jacket, looking forward to hearing what you think.

[Dion]

Cheers, mate! I'm curious to see this beast in real life and I hope it will suit me well. Because of UPS I'll have to wait till Monday before I can jump on this bandwagon.

So this beauty arrived sooner than expected and it's wonderful. I must admit I was a bit sceptical first but this jacket is as badass as it looks on the pics (and even beyond). The denim is gorgeous and not as stiff as I remember the non-selvedge superblack 21 oz was on my 9666Z. @neph93 If you're on the fence, go for it. You definitely won't regret it (and you look stunning in everything IH offers, if I may add). It's endangered and now I wonder why it hasn't been sold out earlier. Grab it while you can, people!

Also the lovely detail:

Thanks for the kind words @Dion  although I’m not sure I can agree with you [emoji1]

I’m not really on the fence. I’ve wanted one since they came out and loved the idea when it was annoinced, but given my jacket situation I’d have to sell to buy. Anything else would be extreme. I need to get my collection reviewed and see what I can let go, but it pains me to do so.

As for why interest has been slow, I have no idea. It may be that the type III jackets are too popular and nothing else gets a look in but for me this is almost as iconic and in fact a lot cooler. Add the 21oz black denim into the mix and it’s a beauty.

Congratulations on yours, I’m really pleased for you.

@Cole sometimes I don't buy things because they suit you way better than they will ever suit me…

You know that's just a sorry excuse to spend the money on some even more expensive Good Art HLYWD bling bling instead, @neph93 .  The jacket would fit you at least equaly well.

You may be on to something there buddy [emoji28]

It felt like an IH-101J-BLK day today

[wdw]

Looking sharp, @den1mhead.  It's a beast of a jacket and needs quite a bit of wear to soften it up.  I need to dig mine out again.
