IHJ-507-SLB - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Type II Jacket - Indigo

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia got me pondering what item I need the slubby denim in now. Has the shorter body bothered you at all on the type 2? Or the lack of hand warmer pockets?

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 the length is fine for me doesn't bother me at all. I used to miss having pockets but I got used to not having any.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia I may give this one a go then.. did you go with your usual shirt size? My usual XXL is sold out but the dimensions on the XXXL don’t look too far off workable

Chipping in here. Body length bothers me not a jot, and I prefer the size and the placement of the chest pockets over a Type III. Don't really miss the hand warmers either....

[DeeDee85]

@Giles thank you for the input. Do you wear a type II in this denim? Would love to see some pics? The dims for a XXXL are almost identical to my XXL corduroy type III and my wife loves that so it’s her fault if I order this right?

[Giles]

No, mine is the IHJ-51 - 18oz vintage denim. This is about a year ago, I will take another photo later today....

@Giles wonderful Sir , congratulations

[DeeDee85]

@Giles that’s looking fantastic! I’m guessing with me at 5’10, you are a good few inches taller than me too aren’t you? I just need to get over my fear of the shorter pieces

[Giles]

I'm 6' 1" ish.....

[Luijim78]

@DeeDee85 I understand very well my friend, I think we are the same height at 180cm and I'm afraid that the t1/2s are always overcooked and too Boxy Fit

[DeeDee85]

@Luijim78 there’s only one way to find out isn’t there.. now to convince the wife..

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 my 507 is an XXXL which fits more like an XXL. I am not sure if mine is from the latest batch though (eBay). And to add to what G said, the chest pockets are great to have compared to T3 models. I use them a lot, dig their size, shape and placement are what originally attracted me to T2.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia thanks for all the info, I’ll let you know how I get on. My first IH piece was the 555 slub jeans and I loved how they were progressing but unfortunately sized them wrong and they ended up too big. Really want something else in the same denim and it just seems to look right on this type 2.

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 IMO the slubby looks best as the Type II and OD version too.

Stunning

[Oaktavia]

@Peterldavey thanks, it's been fun fading this slubby jacket. One of those faders that is stubborn at first, but the snowballs quickly.

@Oaktavia it's the way different panels/pockets alternate between horizontal and vertical that make this piece so special to me, looks so hypnotic when the slub becomes more prominent with fading.

If any jacket was ever gonna make sacrificing the comfort and familiarity of hand warmer pockets worthwhile, it'd been this one.

[Peterldavey]

@Oaktavia I know what you mean I have some jeans in the same fabric

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 it is pretty neat how the shoulders/chest and pockets flow horizontal and the belly is vertical, while the slubs on the sleeves are diagonal. I meant to include this one too to better show that yesterday. This photo is clearer, I think a few photos from my previous post were accidentally take on "portrait mode" which auto blurs parts.

Overall it does look darker in person, you'll see in September:

As far as the hand warmer pockets go, I really do forget about them after wearing this one without them for a while. But when I put on my Lefty, I am reminded how comfortable they are.
