IH-526J-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo/Black

[Oaktavia]

@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]

@Oaktavia Fuck yeah! Nice work.

[Oaktavia]

@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!

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.

@Oaktavia I hear ya, man, and another congrats on ditching the sauce. It’s a great way to trim up — I lost 40 pounds in just a couple months when I quit.

Nice snag, @Oaktavia
The other benefit of kicking the booze is more money for denim!!! Wuaaahaaa

[Oaktavia]

@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.

I also quit the green stuff, so yes definitely more money for denim!

[Mizmazzle]

@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.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle I was surprised how easy it was. On 6 months for me.

@Oaktavia Nicely done. I think we all justify our purchases to ourselves in a similar manner. Does anyone disagree? And if I'm totally wrong, it's nice to see someone else thinking the way I do.

@Mister_Brue Did I? lol.

@Mister_Brue Glad to hear it. I just didn't want to put anyone in a box that they don't want to be in. Glad I'm not the only crazy person here.

[Mizmazzle]

Haha I’ve justified myself into a rather splendid collection of jackets.

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Same, bro. I still have room in my closet for a couple more, I think.

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf maybe I can justify a few more jackets to my wife by building us a larger closet.

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Now you're talking! This is a pro move, my friend.

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf can’t build a new closet unless I have a solid 21oz SBG to do it in and protect myself from debris and the like
