    Couple of shots at work. Heading out to playground duty. Wearing under a top coat. Figure that will help break it in.

      Cool look but I fear for your dress shirt… did it not get crocked tf?

        yeah, it was a little blue after, but I'm confident the indigo will come out at the cleaners. If not, it's not my best shirt!

        Tbh, I was more worried about the tie!

        I switched to blue today to help with that!

        At work and after work!

          Question: do I need to soak this or can I just wear it as is? I noticed on the care card that soaking helps lock in the stitching. I think right now, I'd prefer not since I like the fit.

          I know it's lightly sanfordized, but Gile said to treat as raw: and the post shrunk results seemed more dramatic than the 71's.

          If I should soak, I saw 40 C is recommended, but can I still lock stitching at a cooler temp to minimize shrinking? If so, about what temp?

          Thanks!

            Any soak will help to embed the stitching. Only heat and agitation will cause shrinkage.

                Just as an FYI, I did a fairly hot soak and did not see any noticeable differences in sizing before/after. I would soak in cold water if I were you just to be on the safe side.

                              Wait, in less than three months, your jacket faded this much? Was it an artificial fade? Genuine interested in how this evo occurred so rapidly. Thx!

                                The double indigo denim fades very quickly at the points where it creases while staying dark elsewhere. The result is high contrast fading especially at the elbows, hems etc.

                                Add to this the fact that @Zein1505 wears his everyday in a tropical climate and Bob’s your uncle. I have a strong impression that he wears his denim hard with no f@@ks given too. That always helps.

                                  Like Neph said and he has been wearing his hard since Dec or Nov of last year, so a lot longer than 3 months.

                                    Ah, I see. I have an IH-101J that I’m wearing daily without giving a  f€k and a half wooden tooth, but it’s still saturated with indigo like ink from a chicken-sht squid. Guest I’ll have to roll in the dirt and slide into homebase more often.

                                      Actually about three months from the quoted post (2/21/19) and his original post when the jacket looked starchy brand new. But, yeah, gotta wear it like an abusive relationship for several full moons and 3 cases of whisky.

                                        Well, the fact that you wrote “double indigo” makes it sound special enough to pull the trigger on one from the IH American website. I’ll just need to wear it while spraying myself with mist and crawl through a pile of gravel. In addition to the blood from my abrasion, do you think that will give the jacket some high contrast?

                                        Thanks for this thread (I think); can’t wait to get it and share fit pics.

                                          If you search for items with the -SII suffix in the webshop, then hit the link in to the forum thread you’ll find lots of info on the fabric and some impressive fade pics. There is a thread on the world tours board for a pair of double indigo 666 which is pretty great too.

                                          Congratulations with the purchase btw.
