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

@Mizmazzle
I‘m an XL in UHFs and most shirts and an L in thermal tops, t-shirts and zip hoodies. After checking with the crew I went for an XL in my lefty. I first thought that it would be to big but after an initial soak it fits just great. Glad that I listened to the advice givien by the IH-crew.

@pechelman yeah man. I’ve read your posts. They’ve been super helpful. Def appreciate all your documentation. I’m really hoping I can get the length to land right around 26”. Seems any water that touches this fabric seems to get the same shrink results…regardless of temp or agitation. I’ve tried to read everyone’s results.

[Mizmazzle]

@AtariHunter interesting. So essentially your standard size in shirts is what you took in the lefty? My normal L seems so big by the measurements. Did you get more than an inch of shrink in length and sleeve?

Yes, exactly. Or more precisely: I went with my standard UHF size. Sizes vary for me when it comes to other IH-shirts. For instance I wear an L in my IHSH-292-IND and my IHSH-07-IND but an XL in my IHSH-361-BLK, my IHSH-321-OD and my IHSH-366-IND.

I would suggest that you contact the IH crew via e-mail and ask them for advice. I for one am glad that I did this. Without it, I would have gone for a size L, which would probably have been too small, especially for layering.

Unfortunately I didn‘t take the before and after soak measurements. But I went for a hot soak (about 45 degree Celsius) and the jacket shrank quite a bit. It was huge befor soaking and fits just perfect now.

@Jcaz6996

After two months mine will be a year too.

Am thinking of doing the 18oz indigo CPO indigo next

[denim-dawg]

@Jcaz6996 Breathless…. Those ten days … maybe the jacket needed a break from such epic fading…

[Jcaz6996]

@Kasi I don’t count how long I’ve owned something I’m fading for but only how many days I’ve worn it .
Literally keep notes

I’ll continue to wear this into 2024 to get the 10 days back I’ve missed.

Then thinking rotating a few CPOs and my OD lefty I’ve got 60 days in..

[Jcaz6996]

@denim-dawg cheers pal got to keep grinding going for full white honeycombs up both sleeves

[denim-dawg]

@Jcaz6996 My eyes are bleeding indigo from watching your fading, bro. Impressive as hellfire in Frozen

[pechelman]

Rolled up the sleeve to do some dishes and was surprised to see this. Love the indigo popping on the weft side too.

@Jcaz6996 That is some good wear for just 10 months.

I'm waiting for a restock on this one, Hope this arrives in the next months. I was so close to get the Tellason coverall, but this thread here is keeping me focused to wait for a restock.

@the246guy

I‘m afraid there won‘t be a restock for quite some time… The last one happened like two month ago.
