IH-526J-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)
-
@Mizmazzle sample vs a production one that's just arrived
-
@AdamJ excellent! You've washed yours what... probably 3x?
-
@popvulture I think it's had 4 washes since I've had it.
@Mizmazzle softened up a lot, it's become a lot comfier to wear over time. Particularly in the shoulders and sleeves where it drapes more naturally and is visibly less stiff
The devil is in the detail..
-
I'm guessing it stays a bit stiffer as a jacket, if the 19oz denim's any indicator. That said, the SBG is pretty soft/comfy stuff, so I'm sure it's not gonna be like walking around wearing sandpaper (which we love) as with the Lefty.
-
@popvulture totally. The lefty is the base of rigidity haha. Anything less and I think we're gaining exponential comfort. I love my lefty, but wouldn't call it "comfortable" per say...though I love the feeling of bullet proofness it provides. For me, this time around, if i'm going to add a new type 3, I want it to be really comfortable to wear, yet have than nice heaviness to it we love, while having a soft drape once its broken in. These are my personal wants in a new type 3.
-
I hear ya. Having a really comfy one would be super nice as an alternative.
-
If you want a truly soft drape, get the flagship 21oz type III! My sbg remains pretty rigid, even after years of wear. It’s surely softer than a lefty (though I don’t have one, so don’t really know), but I would say it’d be a stretch to call it soft.
-
@sabergirl I definitely have IH Syndrome, in the sense that I bet the SBG type III would feel radically soft compared to the Lefty. Practically feel like I'm not wearing pants when I wear my 634SBGs after wearing XHS most of the time.
-
Some bad news for the fans of red Ws - despite the sample having a red one, and us requesting that the production run keeps that, the factory got confused and moved the red W back to black (as it was on the original IH-526-SBG). Clearly, it's not worth the cost and environmental impact to send these all the way back to Japan to be restitched, so we will have to live with the black W on this run, and adjust on future runs...
Sorry guys

@Alex I think the black W will look fantastic as the jacket around it fades to grey.. more incentive to get the fades rolling
thanks for seeing the positive mate
-
Completely agree with @DeeDee85. I think the black W is going to look great. In fact, I was already considering trying to carefully sharpie it. This is a plus to me. Really hope the measurements work!

Just going super stealth with the XHSbb now both having Black W
Yeah I think the black W is better on this jacket.
