@akohut The poster you mentioned hasn’t been on the forum since 2022.

@akohut the last we heard they were due this month, but the chances of them arriving in Japan, then making it to us, and being online in the next 8 days are slim

[akohut]

@goosehd yeah figured it was a long shot. however found some good images of a worn johnny cash shirt that looks very nice

@Alex thanks for the quick reply. just to clarify, these are confirmed to be returning though, even if it isn't this month?

[Alex]

@akohut yes

[akohut]

Any ETA on this?

[AdamJ]

@akohut It was due soon, but there's been an issue with the fabric so we'll let you know when we hear more

[Notchas]

AJ, any update on these

[AdamJ]

@Notchas No update since the above I'm afraid, issue with the fabric suggests it won't be soon. I will update when I hear more

[pfw821]

Don’t suppose there’s been an update here? I believe the SBG version of this jacket is dropping soon yeah?

[Graham]

No word yet I’m afraid.

As soon as JP send an email saying that they are ready we’ll start shouting about it here.

[pfw821]

Obvious differences in fading aside, how does this jacket/denim compare to the SBG? Is it stiffer and heavier feeling?

[Graham]

Equally heavy but the 9526 is noticeably stiffer and the sbg noticeably softer.

[beef_bonanza]

I can confirm what @Graham said. I have the SBG as 555 and this vest since 2016. I‘ve washed the vest at least 20 times and wore the hell out of it and it is still super stiff. The SBG however was sweatpantslike soft after one wash and a few days of wear.

[bunger]

Have these ever been offered in some sort of lined version? Either in the SBG or the super black… if so, is there a chance they ever would be again?

[Alex]

Not that I can think of. This denim may be discontinued. We are having big issues with the production, and I am in talks with Japan about it currently

[sabergirl]

Oh no! I love having super-black in my rotation. Bummer.

[Alex]

it would. be a major bummer, yes, but - we are talking specifically (at the moment) about the superblack non selvedge, so it does not mean that the con fade black things will never be made again

[sabergirl]

Good to know. Thanks, @Alex

[pfw821]

well damn, right as this jacket piqued my interest. guess I’ll hop on over to the SBG thread
