@LewisStonehouse:

Got mine yesterday, hot soaked it today and drip dryed, then stuck it on whilst damp. Good god this thing is gnarly

Oh damn! You got one!? Congrats.  Ive been bouncing between this and the OD as a wear-with-tshirt jacket and I'm sure I'll eventually cave

Yeah dude. RIP thumbs

Definitely glad I went with the soak and wear damn trick. Feels fairly well moulded already opposed to the cardboard box I put on initially

While I was walking my dogs this afternoon the sun hit my sleeves just right today. It's tricky taking a photo of your own elbow pit. My lady is too busy playing Skyrim to help

For sure man I noticed a huge difference the next day from intitlaly opening the package.

[LewisStonehouse]

Man yours looks awesome. Gonna be living in mine

[Oaktavia]

It won't be long for you now. With that perfect fit, it's going be rad as hell in a few months. Stoked to see your fade journey amigo.

Here is a better photo in the sunlight.

Just wanted to contribute with some additional data. Here is (I believe it used to be called "Version I") my old 526L. I sold it a few months ago as it was too tight and instead purchased an IH-526PJ which, in my opinion, is by far (!) more comfortable and suitable for the warmer temperatures.

Worn every day and night for a year.

@cityofdelusion that is a beautifully faded jacket. Do you mind if I ask how many washes/soaks? Machine or hand? I like the way the back is a bit marbled, which may sound like blasphemy 'round these parts.

[cityofdelusion]

@Oaktavia Thank you. I think I must have washed it more than five times in the washing machine and perhaps once or twice manually. I believe the marbling is due to sitting often with the jacket on as I do a lot of reading and writing.

Edit: I just noticed that mine was the first version of the unsanforised version of the IH-526L Mods, please feel free to move my post if necessary.

[Oaktavia]

Cool, cool thanks for sharing. Love that evo dude.

[LewisStonehouse]

@cityofdelusion current one is also unsanforized so I think you’re good (there’s only one thread, if you go back it covers the V1 and V2 - believe this is essentially the V2 but they just took it out of the title/reference)

[cityofdelusion]

@Oaktavia Thanks for the interest!

@LewisStonehouse Ah, very well then

[spitfiredealer]

Gave mine another wash

@cityofdelusion @spitfiredealer great work, such an amazing fader if you put in the work!

[LewisStonehouse]

@spitfiredealer youre a savage dude, that jacket looks amazing!

"Gave mine another wash"

In what? A cement mixer?

@spitfiredealer01.  That jacket is a testimonial to how hardcore that denim is man. Keep going !
