IH-526J Indigo 21oz Selvedge Denim Type III

[Dion]

It's kind of sad for me to see this jacket in the Extinct section now as it was my very first IH jacket three and a half years ago and for me it was one of the Iron Heart pieces. I had to sell it this year, though, because it became simply too gigantic on me. I hope the 526PJ will bring me as much joy as its predecessor did when I get the chance to snag one in the future.

@f12 I like your fit and would def rock it

Haven't worn this anything like as much as my 101J, but it looks good despite that.  It doesn't seem to need much effort to get great fades.

^ It’s occurred to me that 21oz jackets seem more inclined to fading than 21oz jeans. Less stubborn somehow. Obviously it depends how you use said items but my IH-533 has seen light wear but has developed surprisingly quickly. Yours looks great @wdw

Agreed.  I had to make a real effort with the 18oz 101 to make it look so good, but honestly don't feel I've done much at all with the 21oz 526.  I'm going to work on this until the new ODs come in this month, assuming their sizing works for me.

[Wlemon]

They are from Standard & Strange. Really cool company. It's called North No Name. They make patches on felt. Cool aesthetics, too.

I love these patches as well. I don't know if id rock them but worth starting a collection for even if i didn't sew them on. I heard retailers only get 1 of each patch. Haven't pulled the trigger yet but hopefully soon.

[Wlemon]

Yep. They only got one of each of these patches and I haven't seen any other North American stockist. I am sure they'd go for a lot on the secondary market. I had to hire a friend to help me since the jacket is so heavy.

A very well worn example from Japan:

@Wlemon How did you get on with the patches on this?

[Wlemon]

I had to hire someone. The fabric was too heavy for me to sew. I'll ask her if she's done today. If she is, I'll post here.

[Wlemon]

Here's some pics of the jacket. Will do some fit pics later in the week.

[neph93]

Wow. I like it a lot. Those patches are pretty special.

[Wlemon]

@neph93 thanks, buddy. I feel like I will have this one around for a lifetime.
