It would be like a tent on him….

We talked about fades and artificially speeding up the process in a different thread last week, but that jacket is an excellent example of doing the process correctly.  It tells stories of everyone involved during the years and you really can’t put a price on it or artificially create it.

As much as I would like my jacket to look like that one, I’m enjoying the process of getting there.

It's mine, I've had it for 18 years and rebuilt our house wearing it most of the time…..

Updated Sizing Chart can be found on Page 1.

Similar sizing for the most part. Slightly smaller shoulders, and longer in the sleeve lengths.

I had been anxiously waiting to pick this one up since UPS lost the one I ordered back in June 2021 but sadly the new XXXXL size is way smaller in the chest. Bummer.

I'm torn between grabbing this vs the 19oz LHT, this one looks softer and the fades more vintage while the LHT (at least from the pictures) looks more stiff and high contrast.

And no, I'm not getting both  The wife could kill me

@Truls:

This is def my favourite denim jacket by far, Ive had mine for about a month, worn 15 times or so and while I cannot really say there are even almost any fades it looks and feels awesome

The 21oz fades sooooo slowly. But when it does it does good.

Well it really depends on what look you would like to go for. I have the 19oz Lefty and love it to pieces, but the 21oz is a great choice too. I will say if you are going for comfort, 21oz is the go. 19oz is pretty crazy even on my third cold season its still a total beast.

Your assessment is correct. The 21oz is heavy… but super supple. The LHT is gnarly af.

Also “could” as opposed to “would” still leaves you with a chance of surviving buying both. Seems worth the risk?

@gnarly to solve that problem you have to buy both

After having this jacket open in a tab for months I finally decided to grab one. Now I just gotta live in it for a few months to get it to settle in. Thinking of grabbing the duck canvas pants to go with it since my slubbies aren't faded enough yet to offset the Canadian tux.

Jacket looks great on ya @Link-Of-Time

I tend to like jackets fitted which often means I buy a size smaller than I should. How does the fit look on this Type III jacket? Short sleeves are usually the biggest problem when I go too small.
