      Erm… difficult to say. Has it been soaked or washed? Has it been used before?

      In principle most cotton/twill fabric will at least relax and give a bit under pressure. Mitigating factors will be the tightness of the weave, and the amount of constructional stitching, both of which will retard stretch to a degree.

      My educated guess is that it should relax a little, but probably not much.

      The previous owner stated he washed it twice.

        I’d guess that the fabric has lost some torque then, so you may find it will relax easier.

          Are the buttons made of iron? And the sleeve rivets cooper?

            I have been wearing this jacket for nearly two weeks now. It arrived with nearly no fading at all, and zero honeycombs creases visible (jacket is secondhand). I love the way the it has broken in and the creases are sharp and set. I plan to wear this as often as possible until the summer, the fade photos on here are insanely amazing. This is my second 18oz jacket by IH, my first one being the 101J.

            What I love most about this jacket is the color. It is so rich and dark blue, with electrics starting to show. I also dig the pocket size and shape. So happy I found this jacket here on the forum.

              Is there any chance we will see this or another Type II again, maybe sooner than ever?  This is one cool bit.

                      Very nice, @Oaktavia! Loads of indigo in that outfit–I like it.

                          Some more photos of my 72 with slightly different lighting here and there. This is after one machine wash.

                            Just wanted to share a photo of this jacket after several years of wear. Each photo has a bit of variance in the exposures and I removed the background. Still fairly difficult to capture as even these shots dont accurately capture the depth of the contrast. I'm very happy with the way this has evolved over the last few years. As you can see, the jacket itself still has plenty of deep indigo with nicely pronounced highlights.

                                    @brobles your jacket looks feckin' awesome dude! I was wearing mine over the weekend. Makes me want to take some photos of mine sometime soon. Your elbows look especially awesome and faded. Glad to see someone else here posting evo photos. This is one of my ultimate favorite IH jackets next to the 19oz Lefty. It's nice to have a short and a long jacket for different outfits.
