@endo I'm currently leaning towards something OD or indigo/black, but the key thing for me will be length, so I'm not excluding anything except non-fade black

@Tago-Mago lefty OD was my first type 3 ever. Spoiled for life and I recommend it

@Tago-Mago I can only comment on the 16oz in jacket form, I already had the jeans in the same denim. I went for the 16oz as it’s a breathable denim so the jacket would be good year-round - breezy in summer over a T, but easy to layer in winter.

Evo is just getting started, it seems like the elbows (both combs and outside) and the denim around the hand warmer pockets is where it’s going to get the most prominent fades.

@Tago-Mago How tall are you? Just curious by what you are looking for in length. Personally, I like the old unmodified jackets because they were shorter in the torso as I'm only 5'10".

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd 1.90m/6'3''-ish, so length is a factor for me

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago Makes sense and the modified will definitely work better for you.

[endo]

@Tago-Mago interesting, for me it's the possibiliy to combine with existing stuff. Where I like high oz in pants (21 oz+), I prefer lighter oz (10-14 ish) in jackets. And then it's the colour combination. Since I mostly wear blue denim in pants, I prefer non-denim colours with the jackets. Like OD, olive, black, brown duck or a light corduroy. The fit, at least if it's close to the classical IH type III fit of the 526, always pleases me. (but I'm 1.8m)

Summer still needs to hit us but we’re hardcore denim enthusiasts can’t we just skip summer?

[Kasi]

Jeff you feeling alright

Summer is the best part of the year

[Tago Mago]

@endo makes sense. I may be completely wrong but I'd assume that the jacket will fade slower than the trousers, so even if I were to pick a regular indigo type 3 for example there would be enough contrast to a pair of faded 21oz or 25oz. Plus, I also have a pair of 14oz 555s, so I'm all over the place in terms of denim weight
Having said that, right now I'm favouring something OD or indigo/black. Or even the SBG. Too many choices...

@Tago-Mago you've come far my young padiwan. It is now time for @Matt to take over in your training

[endo]

@Tago-Mago my advice, consider the SBG, makes a great combination with any denim pant, 2nd the OD, not IB IMO

I’m fine i just wanna rock XHS and heavy shirts year round. Since last summers are crazy look at Spain and Italy where 50 degrees seems to be the norm.. give my a max of 25 and i’m happy. XHS stand for ‘xtreme hotness ‘is’ shite’ right? So i’m okay

[goosehd]

@endo A wise man! Possible to chart that for us...and as that arsehole pointed out the other day, can you label the axis.

[Jcaz6996]

@Kasi totally agree mate that’s all I’m looking forward too sick of this crap weather bring on the ️
Still be wearing heavy denim

@endo we all know that @Kasi deals with the heat by skipping the t-shirt
