      Hi Guys, thought you might like to see my version 1 Lefty.

      I kinda got a love hate relationship with this one. Even after all these years it's still stiff as hell

            @Alex was V2 of 19L intentionally designed to be slightly less rigid?

              Thats a @Giles question, as it was prior to my starting that the denim was made, I think, but its just a think, it may have been a change to how the jacket was washed, rather than a change to the denim speicfically

                    I'm wanting to get the 526L next restock. Can anyone give me advice on how to soak and wash this one as it does shrink. Also any tips to get a less contrast vintage style fade on this one? Any photos would be great too. Thanks!

                      It was not intentional. We had to change the mill and thus the loom. It is an extremely tough denim to weave and the original mill did not want to risk their loom weaving the denim any longer. The weft and the warp are the same as ever, but the 2 looms produce a slightly different end result.

                          @spitfiredealer how often do you wear it? Is it comfortable or feel like you're wearing a cardboard box?

                            @jpvisual from my experience: with my limited use it stays crunchy and somewhat stiff. I personally don't mind much, since Type III jackets are often worn open, often with something long sleeved and more comfortable underneath. I would more reservations if to be worn mainly fully closed up and over a t shirt only....

                              @jpvisual Hi, just wash it more often and the fades will be more of the vintage type

                                I absolutely love that 'straight jacket' feeling, but I also acknowledge that I'm slightly odd in my tastes and preferences.. 😂

                                    @Graham do you post shrink test results on each size before the next batch is released? I think this could help take a lot of the guess work out of it. Thanks

                                      @jpvisual I don't wear it much anymore but I did wear it a lot. It's not like a cardboard box but it is no means soft. This V1 though, when we did the world tour with over dyed V2 that felt really soft compared to this.

                                        Few pics update on this amazing type 3. Love everything about this jacket. It's so dark and inky like it's been indigo dipped 100 times. Also I've never experienced such dry and rigid crispy denim. I frequently wonder at how they even managed to construct the damn thing, must've broke many a needle!
