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

@Heavy_blue

measure is what i did as implied by my comparison to the 526-142ib.  Its just one is washed, the other one is not. Hence I need an idea about shrinkage. Based on how I use my stuff I will definitely need to wash…

Hold up - what is this thread: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5004.0

There are tow IH-526L threads under jackets. What is going on? Different items with same number?

The other thread is the older version of the jacket.

I would go with XL and hot soak it, hang dry then wear damp to set perfect creases.

Curious about the 19oz Lefty fabric. I know it’s stiff as a board and tough as nails…but once it’s been beaten down…will it ever become as soft as say a 25oz XHS? Or is this beast going to have teeth for the life of the jacket?

Mine is broken in but still a beast. It's more pliable and fits like a glove- almost like it tailors to its wearer due to the folds. Easy to put in and take off…but nothing like XHS soft.

Why is it that we’ve all become obsessed with heavy ass, thick, clothing? When can we expect some 21oz underwear??? I’m tired of this light, airy, fruit of the loom garbage!!!

This is nothing like the XHS 25oz

This is a beast, soft is out of this question

You will have give it hell..

But takes a good beating will not give up

Just enjoy it..

See what’s happen make history

@Kasi that description sounds exactly like what I love in denim!! Finally make a man out of me!!

@Mizmazzle it will never get as soft as a XHS, it will stay crispy but however it doesn’t feel like a cardboard anymore after a while :p @Perpetual_beta shrinkage is no given number, so when you’re in a position where you have to wash it go xl so you don’t have to worry about the shrinkage

Love it when those electric blue’s start popping off🟦
Looking good in such a short amount of time @Kasi ️

[motojobobo]

@Kasi you could document the fade progress by number of containers instead of the mundane # of days worn!

[Oaktavia]

Washed mine for a second time.
