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

[going_to_battle]

How much shrinkage (if any) can you expect if you only ever gave this jacket a cool soak (and avoided warm machine washes)?

I’m trying to determine when I need to factor in a bit of shrinkage.

[neph93]

No shrinkage, even on a hot wash. The overdying process removes it all.

I have the 18oz CPO and have washed it in both hot and cold water. No shrinkage. You may, however, get marbling if you’re not careful.

Really useful and reassuring, thank you.

Forevah-evah? Or just for this month? [emoji1]

[Wlemon]

Ummm @neph93 

Forever, though. I don’t even want to list all the IH type 3s I have but it’s too many.

[neph93]

I feel you. I bought my first a number of years ago, then laid off. Had a type II in duck and a “first zip”. Figured that variation was key. But there is something about the design, the lines, that just makes them perfect whether to through on casually or as a focal point in ones attire. So I currently have three and really want a duck one….

[Paul9221]

I'm sure you have fewer type IIIs than Neph has vests

I know I have three type III vests… I should count my vests really. Or we could run a sweepstake on the forum and have people guess [emoji23]

I got a little type 3 crazy, but I blame Iron Heart for that. Before getting into the brand, I didn't have any. My first was the duck, actually, and that started the, um, collection (addiction?). From there, I got the 21oz, then corduroy (brown/indigo), whipcord, and now this one. I love them all and they are very versitle. I have a feeling this is going to be the best of the lot, though. However, as I say that, it does feel like picking your favorite kid.

I had quite a collection of truckers and riders before I got into IH.
When I bought my first 21oz I thought this would be the ultimate type iii to end collecting.
Five IH type iii’s and a vest later I think I failed…

In my opinion the coolest jean jacket of any Type ever made. Saddened me greatly to sell mine,but you don’t by Iron Heart as closet jewelry. If you’re not wearing it find someone who will,which I did.
