        Thanks, @Mustafa911 @Appfaff. Glad you gents think the fit's right! It's my first type 3 and I was umming ahing about getting a modified type 3 or a regular one. Ultimately, it was the sleeve length on this one that clinched the decision (the ones on the OD lefty trucker are probably too short for me).

              @Lowlander your Overdyed Type lll is such as gorgeous looking jacket that both the wife & I have jacket envy. Jules has a 21oz overdyed Type lll and I have a 14oz overdyed Type lll so you'd win hands down in the heavyweight contest  😉

                  Those look really good too! It seems to me you can't go wrong with any OD jacket by IH. Still, I'm kind of pleased to have instilled some jacket envy with you and @Black Orchid! Your WAYWT pics regularly evoke similar sentiments with me (and I imagine many others around here)! 😛

                    C-3’s were originally intended as a middle layer, however… they work over the IH-526-22OD too.

                        That really does come together nicely with the vest/jacket combo @neph93

                          I thought I'd dithered and missed this one (for now), but a stray XL popped up on the website a couple of weeks ago so I ignored the groans of my wallet and grabbed it. It's my first IH OD and initially I wondered if the denim lacked character a bit compared with my 21oz indigo jeans - it's smoother and more uniform texturally and colour-wise. I'm rapidly falling in love with it though - it's already becoming soft and pliable while remaining heavy and substantial. I love what the ODing does to the buttons and thread too. And happy with the fit, though I hope the sleeves don't lose too much more length. My first type-3 - love it!

                            Perfect fit on that.

                              That looks amazing on you!  Good job picking it up. Your wallet will hurt for a bit but you'll always look badass in that jacket 🙂

                                Thanks to you both  🙂 It's a keeper, looking forward to seeing how it develops, just need to stop fondling the denim in public, people are looking at me funny.

                                  @Oroccoco:

                                  It's my first IH OD and initially I wondered if the denim lacked character a bit compared with my 21oz indigo jeans - it's smoother and more uniform texturally and colour-wise.

                                  Compared to some other brands, a lot of Haraki-san's denim has a smooth, even hand and texture. He likes it like that. The indigo 22oz has a very similar hand ond twill pattern to 21oz, and overdying accentuates these features in both denims. This is a result of shrinkage and the tightening of the weave, the cloth being stuffed with an extra dose of dye, and the heat take what little irregularity and fuzz there was out of the original fabric. It also lends a matte quality to the colour and garment.

                                  There are other changes to the fabric that I find quite beautiful. The smell, the dry feel, the inky colour, as well as the softness and drape you mention. Despite the somewhat toned down effect that the overdying process creates, there is a wonderful depth of colour to the denim. It is subtle but there is a shift in colour in different lights, sometimes a sheen comes through, other times there is the hint of indigo or silvery grey.

                                  The real magic here is that as with almost all of Haraki-san's denim the beauty starts developing with wear. OD's evolution is really dynamic and the 3D effect that occurs as the fabric starts bunching, creasing and losing different layers of colour is just superb. It just keeps on going, year after year too. This is my second OD type III, and while the first at five years is still in regular use and fine form, buying another one wasn't even a tricky deceision to make.

                                    Thanks @neph93, that's interesting info re. the OD process. The stuff is certainly dense, but it feels almost engineered to mold to fit. I'm new to the game, but I'm beginning to realise that part of the fascination with denim for those who fall for it is the sheer variety and the craftsmanship and individual approaches that lie behind that. Must have been interesting to pick up a new one and go right back to an OD denim in its virgin form. Hence the addiction I suppose. Cheers again!

                                      I agree. You said it very well, @neph93! In fact, your enthusiasm about this jacket and your pics posted here earlier this summer were important reasons for me to also get one. And I'm glad I did!

                                        Cheers @Lowlander @Oroccoco  I’ll throw up some side by side comparisons of the old and new when I get some decent light (which may not be until March [emoji1]).

                                        It is fun to see how the different denims turn out after the overdye. The brown weft of the 22oz definitely makes for a darker starting point that the 21oz, while the 19oz LHT comes up different again because of the rougher, more textured weave of the denim. They all fade differently too.

                                        It really is nerdy stuff [emoji23]
