IH-526J-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III - Indigo

[Chaintitch]

Yeah, please do!

[setandsetting]

Anyone got one of these with some evo? Trying to justify a third type 3… I've got a brown cord -69 and the OG 526jod but feeling the urge for a regular jean jacket.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.  Or, you know, at least in this thread.

I picked one of these jackets up during the sale. I bought the lefty last year but I’ve wanted a 14oz tuxedo for a while and this was the perfect opportunity. I might have a jacket addiction.

Pretty happy with the fit, this is a 4XL and has almost identical measurements to my 3XL lefty.

[neph93]

Looks spot on to me. And don’t worry, two IH trucker jackets does not an addiction make. Just ask @Wlemon  (or my own good self).

[Wlemon]

Two? Nah. Once you can’t count them all on one hand, then you have a (very good) problem.

[Palmer]

Thanks Reuben! I could go for a black one and the olive version too but I fear I may be too big for the olive in the chest.

Like Marlo said…

It's always nice to have options! Plenty of denim in The Wire…

[Wlemon]

Man, I need to rewatch that show. So good.

Hi!

When do you expect to have inventory if XS in these? @Giles

Thanks!

[Giles]

Hmmmm, not sure.  @Alex ?

The production order was submitted in mid-September, but we are still waiting for the first update from our Japanese counterparts. We asked for a full production order update this week, hopefully, we know more ETDs next week.

Thanks @Alex!

I live in South Florida, is the 21oz much warmer than the 14oz?  We don’t get many cold days here

In general people say the 21oz actually performs better in warm climates, as while it is heavier than 14oz, the weave is much looser allowing air circulation.

Interesting… Anyone else in warmer weather to comment?

It is definitely true that the 21oz denim breathes better than the 14oz denim.  I think though, that this is more apparent in jeans than jackets, there is something about the heft of a Type III made out of 21oz that makes you feel hot, I think it's physiological, but still…..

Wonder if it might be that humans dissipates more heat from the upper body than through the legs, that a jacket made of the same material might feel warmer than jeans?  Could also be the construction and design of the Type III.
