IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
Does the 22OD type 3 from Self Edge match fairly close to the 21OD denim jeans? I think the weft is said to be beige whereas the denim jeans are white? Looking to make me a Canadian tuxedo but it might look weird if the two denims were slightly off from one another… especially as they start fading.
...maybe it doesn't matter...
I think given they are both over dyed then the colour of the weft is of limited relevance. There is some difference in the fabrics however and they present slightly differently when overdyed. But as you say, I don’t really think it is going to matter that much.

Really had my eyes on a storm rider but went this route instead, thought I’d wear it more often. Jacket is fucking amazing and pretty sure my grandkids grandkids will get to wear this. Why I love iron heart it’s expensive but it’s quality that’ll last forever. Thanks guys

Job well done

Im new to iron heart but it’s been a pleasure dealing with you guys. Customer service is a lost art anymore much like quality products. Pretty rare to get the experience of both at once so hats off to you guys. I’ll be back

@Jrei94 - I don't think you can go wrong with a regimen on this one.. we washed the Tour Jacket quite a bit and it faded beautifully. The OD handles washing well, and since the indigo was already impregnated with the Sulphur dye, the contrast will probably never be the "same" as indigo, although I think the tour jacket is pretty contrasty.
I usually just wash my Type 3s once a year after I wear them routinely for the season, and then fresh and crisp in the closet they go for summer.

Sure thing! Enjoy it!

It's better to to ask those sort of questions at shop@ironheart.co.uk….
But, not for a few months.....

Two years, two months. One wash. Probably my favourite article of clothing ever.

Would you say this fades to blue or grey? I’m guessing if it’s od from indigo it’s blue?

These are just the finished IH-526L’s that are dyed whole, one more time with black fugitive dye.
The never fade totally to indigo, nor do they ever lose all the black. With time you will see many colours coming through, shades of grey, blue/indigo and even white is high abrasion areas.
Here is a very well worn version:
