We got the sample today.  It looks amazing in the 18oz vintage denim.  The sample is made with the brass tack buttons, but I think we will change to copper.  The old brass ones rotate and rattle, and whilst they look cool, we think it will be better to have non-rattling buttons on it.

Yes they do big time but I kind of like it. Looking forward to see the copper ones too.

If you can have a small batch made with the original brass buttons that would be great. It's really what seals the deal for me. Looking forward to more updates on this.

2+ years by now–zero washes. My first and still most-loved IH piece! My only concern is that the fabric at the elbows is wearing really thin (see close-up), and I'm worried I'll have holes in them before long. Can these  be reinforced or something like that, @Giles?

[Oaktavia]

@Lowlander jacket is looking amazing dude. I ended up selling mine bc I have grown to large for it. Love the fades on yours!!!

[Lowlander]

Thanks @Oaktavia! I'm sorry you had to sell yours, though I've seen you in the replacement (the 19 is LHT right?), which looked really good. Do you stil have that type 2 I saw you in or did you get rid of that too?

You are correct and the 19oz Lefty I absolutely love it- I see you have one as well. We must have the same taste!.

Oh yes I still have the type II indigo/indigo but have not worn it since the Lefty came in. I'll wear them both this fall. For now, I will wear the Lefty until it is too warm.

@Lowlander jacket looks amazing man!  Chesson who deals with the repairs and reinforcement is off on annual leave for the next week.  I am sure he will be able to add some reinforcement to the sleeves but I am not sure how easy it is to access those areas on the darning machine.  I will make a note for him to get back to you with some firm details when he is back

[Lowlander]

Excellent! Thanks a lot @AdamC!

Any update or timeline?

Currently scheduled for the middle of July…..

Can’t wait! Is it the same vintage denim used in some of the other denim?

[Giles]

We only make one type of 18oz vintage denim

That’s what I figured. Looking forward to this!

Saw this hanging on my coat rack, had to take a pic. I love this jacket and this denim.
