@mclaincausey:

I'd love an IH storm rider (added corduroy collar and horse blanket liner).

Yeah, I'd go for a storm rider too.

Agreed, although I could go either way with the blanket lining.  The corduroy collar is dope though.

I wouldn't think twice if just one more L was available. Kills me that the difference between an M and L is so drastic 'cause these jackets are absolutely stunning. It's got many wonderful touches, like the angled cuffs.

I guess I'll just have to wait for the Storm Rider.

If you like black denim, you can have a look at its black counterpart: IH-101J-BLK.

Here's the final result of my 1-year hard wear exercise.  I'm very happy with it and now feel that I can work on my 526J for a while.

And now compared to 1 year ago…

@wdw, one year? Excellent job…looks good!

[Seul]

Stellar results, @wdw .

[JDelage]

Very nice!

[wdw]

Thanks for all the kind words, guys.  It's at a place where I don't need to work on it any more, which is great.  It all augurs well for the upcoming Storm Rider, which should look great once it's worn in.

Thank you Kind Sir.

And would it need washing whilst still new, or when needed?

[Max Power]

I think it could benefit from an Initial soak, as the fabric is pretty stiff and it will surely drape perfectly after that. I would do it right away, that way you have all the shrinkage out before you start wearing. But if you do, make sure to soak it first, turn it insideout and wash it gentle without too much spin.

Hello Max Power and thank you for the advice.

Does it need to go in the washing machine or can I just soak it in the bath tub, like I did with my Jean's?

[Max Power]

Soaking in the tub is ok, but the machine brings out the max. shrinkage.
