IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

[popvulture]

From what I gather, this particular denim is probably the most crocking-prone IH makes.

@PJS Depends on the watch. Mine doesn't really fit but it's a divers watch that's thick and chunky. If it was a fit bit or whatever it would be fine.

@popvulture I would disagree with that, the stubby denim, most OD and IB and II denims crock more than this for me

[popvulture]

@Alex interesting! My ODs behave but the IB/II definitely do it quite a bit. Still need to check out some slubs one of these days.

@PJS hi, in my size (XS,S) no. I wear quite large watches but in none of my 4 IH jackets can I slide the watches with the cuffs on. The 526l indigo does not have particularly narrow openings (in the 526LOD or 526J-SLBod it is practically impossible to do this) but in any case it is very difficult to perform this manoeuvre. Good evening everyone and sorry for my bad english !

@Luijim78 looks really tight!

@Luijim78 dig it my friend

[Luijim78]

@PJS they are certainly close compared to each other since of other brands. As much as I love huge watches (compared to my wrists as a child) I think it's a good thing, with the cuffs on I can pull the sleeves up over my forearms and miraculously they stay put. In this particular case they should be about 4.1 inches (10.4 cm) in size S after shrinkage from the initial soak.

@Oaktavia Thanks my Friend I will give it my all, I love your Lefty, I just hope one day mine gets a little bit closer to yours.

[PJS]

@Luijim78 awesome look my friend. I’m noticing how tight the whole sleeve is. It doesn’t look like a hoodie or sweater would fit under them?

[PJS]

@pechelman Thanks, I wear sport watches, dive and chronographs. I’d probably have to unbutton and cuff.

[Luijim78]

@PJS no I don't think they are particularly tight, I live in Italy and for years we haven't had a winter or so, so usually I just wear a t-shirt under my jacket, on rare occasions I have put on an 18oz CPO shirt and I have had no problems (leaving the cuffs naturally open).

[Oaktavia]

@Luijim78 it definitely will buddy. Just wear it a lot.

[Kasi]

Yep wear it a lot will be forgiving in the end

I ... hung it with each sleeve bent by fastening the sleeve button/hole to the placket on each side. We'll see if that helps but figured it wouldn't hurt.

My morning realization is that doing this sort of resulted in forming the cuff slightly closed on the LH sleeve and slightly open on the RH sleeve. There's also some twist where the LH side has the opening more pointed down and the RH side opening more pointed up (when arms are on a desk typing). I like how it sits closed/down on the LH side but it's slightly annoying on the RH side. May locally soak the end of the RH sleeve cuff opening and button to dry. Maybe the twist is just due to the LH twill? In the future, I'll likely still do this but be more cognizant to keep the sleeve openings aligned/closed during drying.

Hi @pechelman the sleeve situation may not be the result of your process, as my right sleeve opening also has an outward / upward twist...

[pechelman]

Thanks, @Setanta. I was wondering that but also wanted to caution folks just in case. On my example it looks like there might be a crease on the RH side as a result of it hanging to dry. But it's hard to know for sure what's what.
