Rereading this thread. Is this still something in the mix?

Yeah my brain farted loud a moment ago. Thanks Alex LOL.
Edit: I am on the fence between this one and the 21oz SBG. Part of me says heavyweights are superior but as I am growing with my IH taste I am starting to be drawn to lighter weights too. I like the idea of many creases on the arms for fades. And I am so drawn to indigo/black. I think a fitted look with this one would be so sick. And I would be able to wear it in warmer weather easier too. Any thoughts on this?
-
I found this wears pretty hot in the sun, especially when new with how dark it is. It also doesn't breathe as well as 21 and thanks to the tighter more dense fabric, it also seems to conduct heat/cold better than 21. Still, it's a great jacket and the thinner/lighter fabric makes it decent to travel with in my experience. Fit, mine seems to be cut slimmer compared to other jackets where I'm normally a large but went with an XL in this.
Really just depends if you want sbg or ib.
-
@Oaktavia mannnnnn, I’d wait!
-
@pechelman good points all around. I think I am just more drawn to the indigo/black is what it comes down to. I ordered XL which seems to be a better size for me lately and based on my measurements. Hopefully this one fits well but slim and fitted like a T3 should. I would like to wear CPOs over it and wear the T3 like a shirt. I don't think I would really do that with a 21oz SBG.
@popvulture I went ahead and ordered this one. I totally get why folks on here love the SBG jacket but the more I think about it, the more I just love indigo/black. And I'm after a closer fit too with a T3. My Lefty T3 is so heavy and I sized to be roomy. If I am going to have two denim T3s, I think wearing them differently would make more sense to me. I think I will be happy with either one.
-
@pechelman I have lost some weight, especially my beer gut which is pretty much gone. I am going on one year with no booze. So I think my size is smaller now. I have an XL big buck that surprised me when it fit better than the XXL when I tried them on in Gosport.
-
@pechelman I appreciate your insight, it helps! And thanks, I never thought I would do this but here we are. Turns out I look better in my clothes when my body looks better, who would've thunk?
-
@seawolf yeah dude! I really love the stitching on this one too and how the red W will pop when it fades. One of my buddies @olblue has a Flat Head jacket which I think is 12oz and I love how it drapes (seen in person of course) compared to a heavy jacket. I could go on, in fact I just typed out and deleted a long paragraph. I'm really stoked on all IH so I know this one will too.
-
@Oaktavia Let's geek out together! This is going to be such a stunner for you. I agree about the red W popping. Can't wait!

@Oaktavia Let's geek out together!
Well if you insist! I was thinking when deciding about the SBG jacket, will I like the way the jacket eventually fades to grey? I am not sure if I would be as pleased with the results as I would be with indigo/black. I'm just not sure I am into a fully black/grey jacket as I once was. I think I was more after the allure of a new jacket coming out.
I had to ask myself if I just hopped on this jacket because it was available today and the SBG isn't yet. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense to grab this one regardless. I already have two heavyweight jackets, the 19oz Lefty and the 19oz 140IG. One midweight 16oz Slubby T2. So adding at lighter weight jacket will diversify my collection. Plus, I was saying before, I was going to size with room to layer with the SBG, but I already have done that with my 19oz Lefty. I don't have a slim fitting T3 yet and I think I would prefer it to be 14oz or a similar weight. So...there are my thoughts.

@popvulture hell yeah that's awesome, I lost 35-40 depending on the day. I look more like I did in my early 20s. I wouldn't be able to wear a slim fitting T3 before I quit and be happy with how my stomach looked.

Nice snag, @Oaktavia more money for denim!!! Wuaaahaaa
I also quit the green stuff, so yes definitely more money for denim!
-
@Oaktavia clean living son!!!
I quit the herbs as well. I’m a much happier person because of it. Think my brain was all gummed up like a resonated bong. Been almost 8-9 months for me.
-
@Mizmazzle I was surprised how easy it was. On 6 months for me.
