IH-101J - 1946 101J Riders Jacket

If it isn’t too late then while drying you should use all your might and stretch the seams And back vertically. I’m thinking arms, side seams, front placket (button it up first) and from the middle of the collar to the middle of the hem of the opening, at the back.

Still quite damp this morning. I pulled and tugged the jacket while standing on it. It has a lot of stretch, I could really feel the denim give when I tugged. I tried it on and was able to button it easily and the length is about where it was before. Now it's super clean and ready for tomorrow

I'm not sure if the SRs are made of the same 18oz denim, but I guess they'll end up like this at some point…

I don’t think they are the same denim. Yours is the now defunct 18oz, which is the same denim as the IHSH-177 and IHSH-178 (and of course, the original IH-666S) are made from.  The IH-101J-SR is made from the newer 18oz vintage denim.

Bloody great looking jacket regardless.

You see what I mean about a wash bringing the 18oz to life? Not all denim does that. I seriously regret not owning jeans in this denim… [emoji53]

Yeah mostly, just a tad of a deodorant smell but not bad.

Here is my jacket I've been wearing nearly daily since late August. Photos were taken right before I threw it in the washing machine. I will update more after it dries.
