IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
I picked up the 19oz SEXIH OD from another member here. It’s a sick jacket. It’s not a left hand twill, but pretty rigid denim still.
For some reason unknown to me, I am still drawn to this indigo or the lefty OD….which in and of its self is a real decision to be made. Think I’ve made the decision to snag one of these when they drop. But for the life of me can’t decide which one haha.

Nice Steve.
Maybe this one is not for everyone.
Could be dangerous to have one
You kind of have to be like...totally invested and obsessed with the denim to break it.

@Oaktavia yeahh dude! Amazing
-
@Oaktavia its definitely looking amazing mate . I’m intrigued to find out how many days it takes me to get to get to that level hopefully another 9months is enough
So far it’s looking a long was off closing on 3 months worth of wear.
Such a great denim jacket love throwing it on every morning.IG : @luvthefades

I’m debating between this jacket or the 14oz Overdyed. Two different beasts I know but can any one offer any opinions or insight. This one seems unforgiving but there’s so much love for it on this thread. Does it ever soften up much?

It depends in what you want in a denim jacket. 14oz OD is a great choice if you are going for a comfortable out of the bag feel. 19oz Lefty is for someone who is down to break in a cardboard like heavyweight denim armor.

@Oaktavia got ya--tbh your fades really got me leaning towards the lefty but I don't know if I truly want to go through that kind of break-in. The 14 or even 21 type iii would probably get much more wear. Appreciate the feedback. : )
-
@Salted-Racer if your leaning in for a od jacket and also in doubt for a 19oz lefty.. mix the 2 and go for a 19oz lefty od? The od process softens the 19oz a little. A indigo 19oz breakdown is rough, brutal etc. but all worth it imho. My lefty is my favo jacket, period!
-
Interesting @Heavy_blue , never occurred to me and that might just be the ticket. This will be my first jacket from Iron Heart. I've been scrolling through this lefty thread and, although I doubt I'd ever be 'unhappy' with any IH type iii, I worry I'd have a case of FOMO if I don't take this plunge for some body armor. I'm seeing some great laying images on this thread so I think that would help with break-in as well.

@Salted-Racer it’s my most favorite IH item. It stays crisp even after a lot of wear but the way it folds to your body and the way it kinda ‘softens’ up is incredible. The OD vershion holds the same character but it’s a bit softer straight out of the bag. But if the fades from the lefty is what you’re after that has something to do with the crispness and cardboardie thingy especially for the indigo version.
