IH-526J-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

[Mizmazzle]

^ This 100%
I've been wearing XHS exclusively for the last few years. I've recently been wearing my 21oz ODs again quite a bit and they too feel like i'm wearing velvet pants.

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!

Yeah I think the black W is better on this jacket.

besides the fact I love the red W , I think a black one on SBG will look awesome

[Hohba01]

My XHSbb have a black W i prefer black over red on SBG

@Alex , bro at this point I don't care the color of the W, I just need this jacket in my life.

[VegaS10]

@Mizmazzle , I had to sell my lefty due to how uncomfortable it was. I washed it, threw it in the drier, wore the hell out of it, and no matter what I did, it never became soft enough to be comfortable.

@Alex I don't mind the black W either, I already have one on my SB vest and I love it

Sorry guys

I am watching the show "blue eyed samurai" on Netflix right now. There's a swordsmith who said "an impurity in the right place is a quality" and I thought about the black W instead of a red one.. anyway I like black on black more

A Red W enamel pin would be cool and that way anyone who wants a Red W on their jacket could have one.

[Daniel San]

@Jett129
great idea , such a pin would be awesome
