It's coming, watch this space.
I've been trying to work out what makes this so amazing, and it's the stitching… great choice.

I also think it might the twisted yarn construction. I'm in love with my 21oz and there almost seems to be some 'drape' to this denim? Probably just my eyes doing tricks after staring at this like a kid waiting for his lollipop

Is this the first Iron Heart type 3 in indigo/black?
Yes
I'm curious how it compares to overdyed jackets (e.g. in terms of fade potential).
Tell you in 6 months….
but would love to see more photos.
Coming soon….

Yes! Can't wait…

would this fade similar to the XHSib 25oz jeans? or would it be different due to the denim weight?
-
That’s useful, Giles. I really like the fact that it’s a unique new fabric by the sounds of things.

We use it on these:

https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-888s-142ib.html
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-777s-142ib.htmlNone of which have sold particularly well, which really intrigues me as the XHSib are mega-sellers….

I love this denim. I actually love all of the 14oz fabrics. I have the 666s in this fabric and they're slick.
-
@Giles here's a fit pic from my first day in them. I'll try to remember and take some updated photos when I wear them next but I've been focusing on the vintage 18oz 666 since June.

in terms of fade potential
It will fade completely differently. Take a look here at the same denim vs OD denim

It's not new at all actually. Take a look here:

Duuuude…waiting for a heavyweight version of this...
My thoughts were immediately of a heavyweight version. We'll probably be waiting a long time though… there is no indigo/black in the 21oz range at the moment and Haraki-san has said that the XHS is too thicc to make a type III from.
That being said, I'm loving these pics. It really is a beautiful colour.
I recall reading similar comments from IH folks that a 25oz 555 was not possible either…

Nope, not the same thing.
Making 555’s out of XHS was always doable. However Haraki-san (and Giles) were reluctant to use XHS on the slim tapered cuts because the feeling was that such heavy denim on such slim jeans would be so uncomfortable that no one would want them. Denim head masochism changed their minds.
Haraki-san would likely do an XHS type III if he could, but he won’t because he believes it is technically impossible to do well. The aggregration of felled seams at the arm holes is just too much. This is why there is a type III vest in XHS but no jacket.
Of course, the guy is a genius, so never say never.
