IH-526J-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

It’s looking great mate
How much wear do you think it’s had now?
I know I’m probably the only Nut who actually keeps notes on my phone of wear days and hours
And 2 washes in the machine?

[AdamJ]

I haven't really kept track mate, I haven't worn it as much as I should've. Not hardcore enough to go hoodie and type III throughout the winter, had my primaloft on most of the time

Yeah two 15min spins at 30 degrees c.

Now it's getting warmer I'll be wearing it daily through Spring

@sabergirl That combo really is the best---black and purple just click together nicely. And oh how I wish I had snagged that shirt back when it came out. One of the few times that I dropped the ball

[Jcaz6996]

just me then lol …
Keep track from now then

Looking forward to seeing how it fades like I said it’s looking great already mate

You are not alone my dude. I keep track with newer items on my work calendar. I write the abbreviation and wear number on the day square. I usually stop keeping track when honeycombs show up around 130-150 wears.

Wash 2 Feb '23

I have said this a few times on here: Most folks don't like and try to avoid marbling on denim, but with pieces like this, I think a little marbling makes it look awesome. A little bit combined with some nice crease fades looks vintage/contrasty at the same time. I dig it man...anyone else feel this way? Or is marbling a no go for y'all?

[Daniel San]

I like it too, more on the SBG than on indigo though

[sabergirl]

I don’t mind marbling at all! The thing I don’t like is outright creases that get baked in because I can’t be bothered to take things out before the spin cycle. I’m the world’s laziest when it comes to laundering. I did finally learn to soak things through before I let the machine do it’s thing—so that’s an improvement.

The sample looks great @AdamJ . Makes me think I need to give mine a wash, finally.

Yes I agree with this- those creases are not so nice. Glad other folks don't mind some marbling.

I agree with this also, looks better with black denim. Might give my 295bb another wash this weekend.

[Nik]

I'm a fan of the marble too

[AdamJ]

I did not intentionally get those big creases in at the start, but in my haste I neglected to soak pre-wash. But with SBG denim, I think marbling is par for the course

[AdamJ]

[Jcaz6996]

It’s looking lovely mate

[AdamJ]

@Jcaz6996 thanks man

[AdamJ]

Probably shouldn't have washed it, when the production run lands I might get another and do it the hard way

[Oaktavia]

I think it looks fantastic @AdamJ do you not like the washed look I take it? The "hard way" meaning you want to just wear it and fade without washing?

[Nik]

Home OD fix?

[AdamJ]

@Oaktavia No I love it, it's over taken my lefty OD type III in the rotation too. I just think in retrospect, the creases in the arms might have popped a bit more if I hadn't softened it up

[Oaktavia]

@AdamJ gotcha gotcha well its only going to increase in radness but we already know that!

Amazing jacket made out of an amazing material - I was considering the non-fade version, but seeing the potential is this jacket is giving me second thoughts.
