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

Nice one @Alex_24 –those arm combs are coming in great!
-
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) -
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?

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…
This will be my third fall/winter seasons wearing it. When I do, I try to just wear a tshirt under it so I can wear it indoors and outdoors. Wear it like a shirt. Always keep it on from when u wake up till bedtime. I 100000% recommend it, its the best fabric for a jacket IMO.
