IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

[Supersonic]

Really want one of these. Just snatched a FH type ii. But this will be the next big purchase in the future. How did you guys genuinely size on this - compared to your usual UHF size? As it goes I'm always between L and XL. But as it would likely be a big drop money-wise I'd probably want to ensure it is wash proof ha

@Supersonic The best denim jacket to ever exist IMO

If you're unsure on sizing I would definitely recommend measuring your best fitting jacket (or most similar type if possible) per the Iron Heart method then comparing to the measurement chart. The chart might be updated for the next run depending on how they come out.

Mine hasn't shrunk with washing (they don't as the overdying process takes all the shrinkage out), the shoulders have loosened up a little but no significant stretch

@Supersonic I have to say I completely agree with @AdamJ … I’m about 40 pieces into my IH journey and my OD Lefty is my favourite of them all.

[FlavourFade]

The OD lefty Trucker is a grail piece for sure!!

[DeeDee85]

@FlavourFade yours is looking fantastic

[Supersonic]

@AdamJ Cheers man! I'll measure up when I come to snagging one. Looks insane

@Supersonic if you end up grabbing one on the secondary market, make sure you you get the seller to take measurements.

I got one from an older batch from the marketplace here and it's a tight XL, but looking at the current size chart I'd have gone for the L if buying direct.

[Supersonic]

@T4920 thanks for the heads up. I'll probably wait for restock. @AdamJ any form of ETA?

@robinvonbatman We have ab order going in soon, but could be 12 months or so. This is a slow-to-weave denim going to a very overstretched factory to be made into jackets

[Supersonic]

That's man

Just noticed the title of this topic and the first post says « overdyed indigo », just saying 🥶

@Raisinoux Thanks mate, is being changed as we speak

[flannel slut]

Love how corrections like this is received w a thank you or good catch. Such a rare place

[T4920]

Had to rock this @Kasi style today after forgetting my workout t shirt and having to get my good one sweated up.

Buttoned up it's discreet enough though..

Luckily the temperature is much more manageable than it was in Hamburg!

Hey all. Picked up the 526Lod the other day. It’s an XL and is a little big on me. Probably fine over a heavy flannel or sweater but I’d like it a little snugger over a T. My first IH jacket. Any advice on shrinking it a little? Appreciate it won’t shrink a lot which is fine. Hot soak in the tub and flat dry out in the sun? Thanks.

[T4920]

@nycbhoy general consensus when it comes overdyed garments is that there's nothing you can do to it that will cause more shrinkage than the aggressive overdying process.

[nycbhoy]

@T4920 Thanks. So basically I won’t have to worry about shrinking it too much then! I’ll maybe try a hot soak. Sounds like won’t do it any harm.

[T4920]

@nycbhoy yep! Not to say you shouldn't take care when washing though, as this denim is prone to marbling.

Wash on low/no spin and hang dry for best results.
