IH-526-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

[Max Power]

My experience is, that you Need a machine wash (Agitation) at hot temperatures to achieve shrinkage. But of course that means shrinkage everywhere, not just in the arms. And might also cause some weird washing lines, as I think SBG denim is quite sensitive to that.

Thanks guys. The only parts that I don't like the fit is h arms as they are a bit too wide in diameter. I'll just have to return em, go to someone who can wear this properly
Beautiful trucker though!

[Jordonf9]

Can @Giles or anyone for this matter tell me if the diameter if the sleeves change much between sizes? I could easily make he xxl work, maybe the xl…but only if the sleeves diameter shrink with each size.

This one doesn't get the love it deserves.  The denim is solid, but seems to get fades relatively quickly, despite not much wear.  The long sleeves put me off wearing it for quite a while, but simply turning them up doesn't look too bad and for me puts it back into the rotation.

If I didn't have this, I'd have gone for the 526Lod, but the colours seem too close for me to justify the od.  Once I start to see some obvious fades in my 101J, I plan to give the sbg some hammer, as I'm sure it could end up pretty impressive given some hard use.

SBG denim can give some stunning high contrast evo. I suspect it will look even better on a jacket than on jeans so kicking the crap out of it is a good plan I reckon.

Any chance that these could see another run? It doesn't seem like the last batch sold poorly except for the glut of XXXLs. I'd definitely be interested if it would be the long body type as originally intended.

[Giles]

Possible, but not top of my list at the moment….

[Giles]

OK guys, we are rerunning these..  I'm guessing they will be available Oct/Nov…

Is this still being restocked? I couldn't find it on any of the 2018 schedules.

[Alex]

Yes, but not this year

Having both this sbg and the superblack 101J, I much prefer the way the sbg ages.  An 101J-sbg would be awesome.

Boom @tfahey00 excellent fit on the jacket…

Thanks! I'll post some photos of the fades thus far. Its stubborn, but I wear it almost daily. Perfect weight for winter layers and spring/fall.

It says no restock on the sale page, is that true?

Endangered/No restocks means there aren’t any available in Japan and there is no production run ordered.

Judging by Giles and Alex’s comments it will be done again but there is no rush (most likely because of supply chain issues like how much of this denim is available or some such). It means it is in limbo.

If it was a core «Extant» item then the restock notification option would be available. Watch this space.

Thanks @neph93!

I'm getting back into this jacket and have turned the sleeves back down.  They've now wrinkled quite a bit and aren't so obviously way too long.  I really like the nicely knackered look this denim has.

The remaining pieces in less sought-after sizes ended up in the outlet; does this mean anything in regards to the prospect of a rerun?

It does indeed. It means no chance.

[Crit_Obs]

V2 with longer body and side pockets in the pipeline then?
