IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

I've been wearing the jacket alot the last three months along with my fav UHF. I sometimes rotate the Kersey or Moleskin in once in a while. Love this jacket, fades def slowed down but the jacket has become much softer.
-
Yeah, that's looking great. Nice pairing with that UHF, too. I also plan on joining the fray tomorrow!

Well, that was painless ^_^ All sizes still in stock 4 minutes later, so I'm guessing everyone who really wanted one got their chance to nab one. Cool.

Right… got mine (XXL) as well.
According to UPS ETA is next Tuesday... Nice !
It felt a bit like a Supreme or Sneaker drop...

Ha. Another XXL here. The last thing I need is another jeans jacket, but resistance was futile.

I love this jacket so much that I'm legitimately considering buying a second one to replace this one when it inevitably dies in 30+ yrs. As @Jordonf9 has said, it really softens up to an almost velvety hand. And the fades are amazing, too. If IH ever decides to do the 19L in, say a 777 OD (hint, hint), I'd instabuy a couple pair.

Well… sure enough, they didn't hang around too long. L, XL, and XXL all sold out less than 24 hours later.

Even more surprising that no vendors picked this up

I guess some more vendors may pick it up if they realise what a hot-ticket item it is. But then… I guess there's a limit to how many of the really popular (or maybe 'specialised') items can be produced and kept available anyways. As I understand it, these clothes are made in very specific ways from fabric produced on very specific pieces of old, finite equipment. I don't know if the factories are being run on a round-the-clock model... but if they already are, then... what else are ya gonna do, right? Also, if the business model is working and people are working and demand is high, maybe there's no real need to expand just for the purpose of expanding. Just some ponderings...

Some fairly accurate ponderings there. Haraki-san’s fabric designs are notoriously difficult to make, not least to his and Tom-san’s exacting standards. This takes time. Indigo dying takes time and overdying takes time. The od’ed denim can’t just be churned out which is why od’ed gear is often thin on the ground.
There are huge issues of economics of scale and logistical difficulties with the factories that produce IH gear that are really very complex. It’s a works like a finely balanced eco system and disruptions cause problems all the way along the chain. Giles sometimes discusses it here and it’s fascinating stuff.
