@ton312 have you ever owned the 526L? If so, how would you compare and what do you prefer?
-
@goosehd thanks and good to know! I'm just trying to get some opinions on the the 526-PJ vs the 526L from those who own both, what they prefer and why.
-
@jpvisual the 526pj is much softer and more comfortable but much more tenacious and difficult to dissolve, the Lefty indigo is initially in armour then softens a lot but always remains nice and crunchy and easier to dissolve.I love them both but I prefer the Lefty for its consistency
-
@Luijim78 thanks for the post. Did you get the same size in both jackets? I'm leaning towards the Lefty, but a bit worried on sizing it correctly because it shrinks.
-
@jpvisual there is not much shrinkage more than anything it adjusts to your body with a warm soak, however as you may have noticed it is already slightly wider and longer in the corresponding size compared to the 526pj. Get your usual size and you will have no problems in my opinion

@Luijim78 ok thanks, this is helpful!

@Yoprst LAYERS!

The more I see photos of broken in 526s, the more I want one instead of the Indigo Lefty as my next denim jacket...
It might even be enjoyable to have something comfortable and soft for change...

@Nostradamion softer fabric means less pronounced creases. Generally this will produce more subtle/vintage fades as there is less consistent abrasion upon the areas of the fabric most prone to wear.
-
@Nostradamion exactly, as Tom(T4920) wrote perfectly it is a little more tenacious in the fades and with less contrast even if I have seen evolutions of this jacket that have nothing to envy to the 19oz left-handed fabric.
