IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

From my experiences no.
It’s not a fast fader and you have to work hard for . But they definitely fade amazing

@rovdjurstorget:

Did the fabric lose noticable/significant amount of indigo after that first hot water soak?

As a general rule any decent indigo rope-dyed fabric will not lose any significant colour with an initial wash.  Indigo is oxidised onto the surface of the cotton and is only removed by abrasion (wear).  Any indigo you do lose will be loose unoxidised indigo and would rub off very quickly with wear anyway.

And as @Kasi suggests, drop the crew an email at shop@ironheart.co.uk, you won't find better-qualified people to answer questions like this, it's their job.

Perfect. Thank you, I'll do just that.

Whoops, there was a significant typo in this para. Corrected here.

[Mizmazzle]

Damn @Oaktavia that lefty is looking quite bad ass!! I’ve got an Oni secret denim type iii I’m working on. But your jacket absolutely nails it!!!

[Oaktavia]

Thanks dude- I'm diggin it! Looking forward to wearing it more often.

[Mtree]

Any long term updates on the softness? Also any long term fade photos? Thanks

[Kasi]

Were the hell out of it…

Softness comes with fades

[Daniel San]

from my experience they will not get soft, at least not that soft as the 21oz or the 22oz
fades are epic
@Mtree
just look at this thread lots of evo pics ( some fantastic fades from twin & spitfiredealer)

[Gammaman]

Yeah I have the older one and it's still very stiff and all most wind proof even though its over 5 years old.
But I love it for that reason its thick and solid giving good contrasting fades.

Anyone know where someone could find a medium of this jacket? Or when a possible restock will happen?

[AdamJ]

@mattador it's on our list of things we want to re-run asap, will update once we put in to production

[Mizmazzle]

Hey @Oaktavia how long have you had your lefty jacket? How often do you wear it? That thing is so badass. Strongly considering grabbing one…
