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

Soldiering through the warm weather, incredible transformation man

What a great jacket this is. I had been wearing mine for a few days and then put on a 13oz jacket from a different brand, felt like a handkerchief compared to the 526L.

Since I got mine, I realise what a great jacket this is. However, I have one question. I seem to get arm twist rather like leg twist with 19L jeans. Is this normal? I assume so as it is natural for left twills…

@pechelman - thanks. I had missed that! It has become such a long thread, it is perhaps not surprising that things slip through the cracks.

Finally get to wear this beast a bit in the home-office today. Checked the measurements for my XXL after a warm soak. A bit of shrink overall, but shoulders still a bit large when wearing with T-shirt only, but good to go for layering.
Shoulders: 21 -21
Length: 28,8 -28,0
P2P: 24,5 - 24,0
Waist: 21,8-21,5
Opening: 22,0 - 21,75
Sleeve: 28,0 - 27,0
Sleeve opening: 5,0 - 4,9

UPDATE: I noticed in the mirror that only one side of the shoulder seemed a bit large. Checked and found 1cm difference in the length of the shoulder seams. Now give it a 40C wash (no spin etc) in addition to my initial warm soak to make sure this is not caused by uneven exposure to warm water in the first soak

I recently put on my 292-IND again after a long time, which I thought was really heavy when I bought it. After I was on the road lately primarily with my Lefty, the 292 feels as if it were made of silk. Still a great shirt and quite rugged! What I learned though: Even the definition of heavy denim seems relative

For sure man. Even the 19oz IHSH-396 feels lighter than the Lefty.

It isn‘t a slow fader after all, I guess. Love those blues popping out!

[Oaktavia]

@AtariHunter I would not consider it to be a slow fader. I recall mine looking different from week to week. Your fit is spot on, such an awesome cut with the modified T3. Stoked to start wearing mine again this fall.

@Oaktavia I would agree mate, first signs of electric blues pop early on it’s breaking though to the next stages takes some doing ..

Slowly but surely

[Oaktavia]

@Jcaz6996 Damn those sleeves look killer. I need to catch up to you!

[Kasi]

When just like looking at them

Reflection of art

[Jcaz6996]

Everyday grind only 4 months remaining in the RR looking forward to seeing what 1 year of wear will look like .

Going to give it it’s second wash next week ready for Hamburg the wash is well overdue..

When you getting yours back on @Oaktavia ?

[AtariHunter]

@Oaktavia @Jcaz6996

I always thought of it as a slow fader (actually don‘t know why exactly…), thanks to both of you for the clarification. But yeah, I can imagine that the next step will require a lot of dedication and will take much more work than for the first few electric blues to pop out.

Also thanks a lot Stevie, the fit really turned out great!

And James, those sleeves really do look killer, unbelievable!

[Oaktavia]

@Jcaz6996 I am focused mostly on the 19oz IHSH-396 Sample atm but once the temps drop I will throw the Lefty back in rotation. It is still in the 80s here and next week all fecking week it will be over 90 degrees which is 30 higher than the average around these parts. I hate the heat. But by mid September I should be back in action.

[Oaktavia]

@AtariHunter Right on dude, wear that ish hard as feckin' feck!!!

[Tobi]

Cold enough in the morning to wear it.. too warm on the way back from work ..

Should be doing other things, instead I am taking pics of this dang jacket...
