I like this one. I have the First Zip in 17 oz and it’s awesome.

I just picked one of these from ebay and it arrived today. I shrunk the crap out of it, so much so that the logo rubbed off in the wash a little bit. I used the "sanitize" setting on my washer that the internet says uses 150F water. I'm assuming that is why the logo chipped away a tad. At first I was bummed, but now I feel it adds character. Anyway, I really wanted it to shrink and it did to my liking. I can post fit pics soon as I am thrilled with the fit and overall appearance of this jacket. I love the navy corduroy collar and big blue cats eye buttons.

This is made from indigo, correct? Similar to the indigo 803 herringbone pants and 308 shirts that are 12oz? I have been trying to find fade/aged photos of indigo herringbone but I have yet to find any 'round these parts. If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be rad.

Hey you
There was one more herringbone fabric until recently. Heavier. 14oz? 17oz? Indigo?
IH-823 if I can remember correctly. Work pants. Only available in Japan.
It is maybe this fabric used on the IHJ-119.

[Oaktavia]

@hajduk yo dude! Thank you for the info, I will do some more searching.

[Oaktavia]

Here are some post soak photos. I did not take measurements but I would guess I lost .5" or more in length. It was pretty loose presoak and now it fits nice and trim. I can post fit pics another time.

@Oaktavia sick jacket dude. Will look killer with those new IH sneakers!!

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yeah buddy I have been on lighter shade brain lately. Although I usually have dark denim on still.

@Oaktavia really looking forward to seeing how this ages.. there’s a couple left on IH Germany in my size at a huge discount but I’m still on the fence about it

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 I was able to find one on ebay for the same price IHG has them for. I don't plan to wear this one hard yet. Eventually I will. Just other jackets in line first. 100% recommended, as with everything IH, it blew my expectations out of the water when it arrived. Just be aware it's raw.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia thank you for the info, they do have my usual type iii size and one above so I should be covered.. did you size up one to allow for shrinkage or go with your usual type iii size? My logic for buying is that it’s half the price of the upcoming Kersey work jacket, the same cut, still a (very) interesting fabric and a colour I don’t really have in my rotation. Just can’t sell the wife on the big back logo but I’ve grown to really like it.

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 I sized up to XXL, if it wasn't raw I would have gone with XL. My washer goes super hot to 150F so I relied on that. I wasn't keen on the logo at first either but now I really quite like it. It's my favorite part of the jacket.

@Oaktavia that is so bad ass man. Love the jacket and how it turned out.
