IH-526J-22OD - 22oz Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Indigo Overdyed Black

@Oaktavia I'm stoked to see what you'll do to this jacket!

I've had mine for almost 5 years. My experience so far is that it doesn't really fade, or at least not like the OD lefty. It does develop a nice patina. I'll post a pic of mine later...

@Lowlander those look like fades to me my friend! Thanks for posting, I've been meaning to ask you if you still had yours. Over the five years you've had it, do you have any idea how many wears? And a wash count?

Edit: I am assuming you have an OD Lefty? If so and when you have a moment, a side by side photo comparison would be greatly appreciated.

@Oaktavia I just remembered, I believe someone faded one of these for the last Redline Rally, with excellent results. Might be worth digging up some photos if you're curious about the potential.

@JunkPants synchronization is strong today, I literally just had an Instagram friend share the images with me moments ago.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia Nice! It's clear the universe wants you to fade this thing.

And I’m reading this post just now. Synced up indeed. It was the Arcuate maybe?

[Oaktavia]

@Larkens yes indeed

[Lowlander]

@Oaktavia, definitely one wash, but the number of wears I'm less certain about. As a ballpark figure I'd say about 300 days of wear.

Sorry, I have the regular lefty, but not the OD version.

[Oaktavia]

@Lowlander right on man, thanks for the info. Much more subtle fades with this one compared to other denim. I'm going to give it a go.

If you soak this first can it then go in the wash? Or better to hand wash to avoid any marbling?

I had some indigo transfer in my trousers so wanted to wash to hopefully stop that.

Absolutely

[Oaktavia]

@natefreezy That is what I plan to do with mine when the time comes.

[Oaktavia]

Wearing this more than my 140IG lately. Mostly wearing underneath my 295bb.

[Oaktavia]

Progress on this awesome jacket. Definitely seeing some fades turning black to blue. Loving this evo so far and will keep wearing it a lot. Took these photos during an ice storm so a little bit of ice was falling on the denim.

[Oaktavia]

Progressive flow of the evo.

[Lowlander]

@Oaktavia wow, that one is coming along very nicely! Do I see some indigo coming through or is that an effect of the sunlight? My jacket seems to fade to grey.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia Looks great! Dig this jacket.

[Oaktavia]

@Lowlander it is blue coming though like blue grey. The sunlight makes it more visible for sure. It looks more grey indoors with fluorescent lighting. Outdoors it looks as overdye has been described to fade to indigo and grey. Same with my 25oz Mad Black. Always looks more blue outside in the backyard.

69 wears no wash. The colors of this denim shine brightly in the sun. It is alluring to see a dark, muted denim revealed in glistening glory. I'm going to hold off on a wash for now and see where it goes from here. This jacket is taking the driver's seat over my 140IG.
