      The distinction doesn't mean too much around here since practically all of the jeans sold via IHUK/EU are selvedge, but IH Japan does make non-selvedge offerings in some if not all of the core cuts. You'll see em turn up on eBay sometimes, or once in a blue moon on the buy/sell section on the forum.

            @popvulture I was thinking that as well but then we have the whole family of HHS i.e. IH-888-XHS.
            They are all selvedge

            You mean Xtra Heavy Selvedge?

                          526 is type III.

                          Is it known why the number 526 was chosen for type III jackets? I have been meaning to ask this.

                              No I don't. Maybe worth asking H, there could be a good story like with the 634.....

                                It is definitely a specific number and I was wondering the same thing.

                                      Damn that's rad as hell. Glad I asked. I feel like that would be something cool to advertise in some way.
