Will these be available at rivet and hide or online only? Would love to try one on first. I think I'm between sizes.

Definitely one to tuck a tshirt with.

@Luijim78 Same here buddy... I'm thinking the "boxier" fit will be just fine.

Damn, I just bought the IH-526J-142OD which is really nice, but I’m guessing a lot lighter than the SBG. Was holding out for a lefty OD, but am curious how the SBG compares to it. Anyone here have both models?

[Luijim78]

@Nostradamion I have the Lefty OD and indigo, I got SBG today, I think they are not very similar both in color and consistency. The Lefty OD is definitely much more rigid and crunchy, as soon as I receive it I will take some comparison photos if you need them.

[Luijim78]

@isXnext yes especially for the length, the measurements are very similar to my type2 139. Fingers crossed I wanted a black jacket for a long time

@Nostradamion I have the 526J-SBG sample and the IH-526Lod

The 19oz LHT denim is quite robust, the overdying process softens it up but both are similar touch in my opinion. Both are in my rotation currently and very similar in terms of weight and comfort

[Nostradamion]

@Luijim78 and @AdamJ thank you both for your replies. Based on what I’ve read, the SPG is shorter but also going to be harder to find at some point, correct? Would love some comparison pics if you have any. Also, is there one you like more than the other?

[AdamJ]

I haven't go the SBG with me as I away with work but here are two recent images

*As widely discussed, this is the pre-production sample

[Nostradamion]

@AdamJ Oh wow!! Those are beautiful!! Are they the SPG or Lefty OD?

[isXnext]

@Nostradamion I also have both the Lefty OD and now the SBG, and I think there is a time and place for both.

The Lefty OD is just badass in look and feel. The SBG to me will be slightly more "tamed". And of course, both are totally different colors that will be even more evident as time goes on.

[Nostradamion]

@isXnext Thanks much!!

[AdamJ]

@Nostradamion Top image is the 526Lod and the one after that is IH-526J-SBG sample

[Nostradamion]

@AdamJ Thank you for that. I’m thinking the Lefty OD might be worth waiting for; your pic looks amazing!!!

[Luijim78]

@Nostradamion here is my Lefty OD, I love the 19oz fabric in all its declinations, I like its stiffness. SBG in addition to the jacket I bought a few hours ago I have two pairs of jeans, a 555 and a 666. basically it is the softest and most comfortable fabric there is. It is a matter of taste of course, but if I had to choose only based on the fabric the Lefty will always be one of my favorites.
