@Jcaz6996 welp, that’s just some badassery developing right there dude. I’m a 5th grade teacher. Gonna have to start body slamming these kids to get that kind of fade action. Be good for my mental health too hahaha

[Oaktavia]

Hahaha love these past few banter posts. LOVE @Jcaz6996 progress on his jacket Holy feck. That looks amazing and will be nutso by the end of 12 months. Seriously catching up to mine. Just goes to show wearing daily vs 3-4 times a week makes a massive difference. Plus I ain't wearing mine if it's 80F or more outside no way pal.

ok FOMO got me--I totally caved and ordered this bad boy from Self Edge, should arrive Monday! I've scoured this thread and I think I know what I'm getting into. @Oaktavia, @Kasi , and @Jcaz6996 I've seen many of your posts, value your opinions, and find your fade pics inspirational. This jacket is going to be my Everest I think and I look forward to the challenge: ) If the sizing is what I think, I should be able to wear it essentially like a shirt but then still layer it with some of my more tight-fitted hoodies. I'm committed to giving it the wear it deserves.

@Salted-Racer go for it! Best jacket in the business

[AtariHunter]

I almost can't stand this thread anymore, as I'm still eagerly awaiting a restock

Anyway, those are some really nice fades @Jcaz6996 !

@AtariHunter - I couldn’t have put it better myself. Can’t wait for the restock. Have sold my 21oz 526 in anticipation of the restock.

Just saw this one in a Reddit Thread freaking amazing sleeves! Anyone here rocking these?

[Mizmazzle]

@Salted-Racer they have this jacket at self edge right now??

[Mizmazzle]

@Salted-Racer I rushed over to the SE site haha. Not my size!! Probably for the best at this point. The restock works better for my financial time line. Can’t wait to see your fit pics brother!!

[Oaktavia]

@Salted-Racer nice dude...are you planning on soaking the jacket first? I would highly recommend this and hang drying. From there, wear it when it is damp until dry. It will be rigid and scratchy but totally worth the process to set creases and create a customized fit. Just my unsolicited $.2.

[Crispy Heron]

@Mizmazzle - Ditto. I did the same but was disappointed as there were none in stock.

[Salted Racer]

@Mizmazzle they had only a couple left and I think the 2XL should be right for me...I hope. I'm so used to IH's measurement we'll see how it goes!
@Oaktavia man, I'm glad you mentioned that! I've been wondering what I should do in regard to soaking. I will 100% take your advice on that. I've never done the wear damp thing so that will be a new experience in my raw denim journey! Based on what I see on this thread this will be the toughest denim to tame and I'm really looking forward to it!
Appreciate the feedback my dudes : )

[Oaktavia]

@Salted-Racer heck yeah man your jacket will look killer by following that process. Keep in mind you will get some shrink if you use hot water at any point. I sized up one with mine and hot soaked it the night before wearing. Wore it to work all day and by noon it was mostly dry. If I could keep just one IH item (like if the house was on fire) I would grab my Lefty.

@Salted-Racer taming it is part of the fun

[Jcaz6996]

@Mizmazzle lol nice one pal that’s absolute class

[Jcaz6996]

@Oaktavia nowhere near yours bud along way off yet. Hardest part wearing this jacket everyday is negotiating all my other IH clothes
. Think wearing the same pair of jeans everyday is so much easier as you can mix it up with different shirts etc..
Watching the steady evo on the Lefty is going to be worth it sort of addictive to not missing a day .. The real test is yet to come soon as it warms up can imagine it’s going to be unbearable

[Jcaz6996]

@Salted-Racer ha ha yes bud can’t wait to see pics hopefully your love it I’m sure will will.

[Jcaz6996]

@AtariHunter thanks a lot slow and steady at 91 days now
