IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

@profdbrk:

@Palmer I particularly like the cheery face matched with your hat in the resized picture.  Well done, both.  Would anyone here with a 14-2 Type III and the 21oz care to draw out some comparisons.  I think this lefty is the one for me.

I can't comment on those other jackets, but if you're looking for a suit of armor that's very warm with the texture and rigidity of carpet, look no further.

[profdbrk]

Thank you @chubacca.  From what I see this particular fabric lends itself to lots of honeycomb and fade possibilities that are just stellar.  I'm aiming for a Type III that isn't just another like all the many many I have had since my first (somewheres around 1969, when I was 12.  I'm pretty sure my brother had one from about 1963, a year after its introduction as I recall.)

Thanks @profdbrk

This jacket is ultra heavy duty and the fit is perfect for me. I would definitely recommend it. @chubacca described it perfectly but neglected to mention that your hands will be blue and tired for a while until it breaks in.

Usps dropped this off today, along with 8301S SBG. I was initially a little worried the sleeves would be a bit long but I think once the combs set in I’ll be golden. I can’t get over how soft it is for 19oz.

Great fit @Penny_pants . You’re right about the combs. I have this denim in the 666 cut and soft as it is now, it just gets better with wear and washing.

[chubacca]

I cant wait for it to get cooler so I can finally wear this jacket again

Hello! Anybody know when there might be a restock of the IH-526L? I NEEEEEEED a size medium so very badly, haha.

[matwllms]

ORRRRRR Actuall the PERFECT fit for me would be the size small but with 26.5" sleeves, but that might be wishful thinking…

[Penny_pants]

@matwllms If your in the US you could shoot Self Edge am email and see if any other the sleeves came out a bit long. Looks like they’ve got 2 smalls.

Failing that, the next  production run is due to complete middle/end of Dec:

Thanks! I did exactly that! Alas, the sleeves and length were just too short… Waiting on a restock now, i suppose!

Thanks, Giles! I will be watching like a hawk!!

[chubacca]

I just did my first ever hot wash last night and can confirm there was a little extra shrink in the sleeve and length that didn't come out from my initial hot soak.

Hi @Giles! Is it still looking like these will restock this month? Thanks!!

[Giles]

No, I am afraid not.  We ran out of the denim and it is taking an age to rerun…

It's looking like March/April for all the 19oz reruns.

Sorry...
