IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
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.
-
@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. -
@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)
-
@Oaktavia Thanks for the interest!
@LewisStonehouse Ah, very well then
-
Gave mine another wash
-
@cityofdelusion @spitfiredealer great work, such an amazing fader if you put in the work!
-
@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 !
-
yep this denim certainly gives amazing fades. It's a beast, still feels like armour after all this time.

Holy smokes dude. That jacket is a work of art. How long have you been creating this monster peice? Machine washed? Lots of washes? Killer shit…
-
Thanks man. I think it’s about 6 or 7 years old. Only had 4 washes all of them in the machine. I tend to wear it under another coat so doesn’t get crazy dirty at work.
-
you just gotta live in it or be very active in it when you do wear it. I kept mine for casual wear for ages, but it was hardly changing so I thought fuck it and started wearing it for work.
-
This is the best jacket I’ve ever had. I think the sizing has just worked out really well for me after a hot soak and a damp wear. It’s already a second skin, and I’m ending up even wearing it round the house. If in doubt, buy one!
-
Thank you @Giles it's starting to shape up.

This is the way…
