@Twin, any washes yet?

@chubacca  No washes so far.

Does anyone know, is the V2 labeled as such on the tag of the jacket or anywhere? For example does the tag say IH-526L-V2  Or is the only way to tell by checking for the inside pockets..??

If I had a V1 and a V2 of the same vintage in my hands I may be able to tell which was which.  All that changed between the two versions was the mill that wove the denim (and thus, of course, the loom used)….

Here is an update on my jacket after a few months of wear:

Not a recent purchase by a long way, simply doesn't get taken off the hanger enough.

Wearing this to work in at the moment. It’s so dam tough. I honestly don’t ever see this softening up

@spitfiredealer I can confirm that. Mine is still crunchy after multiple washes… It only gets super soft on the areas where you get the most damage on. For me that would only be the elbows and sleeves. If I had a choice of replacing this, I'd probably pick the IH-526PJ instead

The V2 of this jacket became lovely and soft. What was it about this version of the denim which makes it stay so stiff? @ Giles

Possibly a tighter weave.

It’s a twat of a stubborn bastard and I absolutely adore mine.

Little colder weather now.

Now closeup pics.

@spitfiredealer  No wash so far. Just wear & tear.
