@Jcaz6996 congratulations my friend, as always you manage to transform something beautiful into truly wonderful

[Jcaz6996]

@Luijim78 cheers mate appreciate it, still early days but going to continue wearing it until it’s gets too warm .

@JunkPants Cheers bud , yeah it’s a great jacket super soft and plenty of room compared to my other Type lll which makes it great to work in..

[Nostradamion]

@Jcaz6996 Wow, that looks amazing!!! I've been wearing mine for a couple of weeks, and it looks nowhere near as faded as yours. Fantastic work!!

The generous sleeves had me uneasy with nabbing one, initially. My size sold out rather quickly, as well. But, I found that one came back into stock, when I checked, this morning. So, I decided to give it a go...

[jiminstitches]

Super happy with the fit on this one

[twin]

@jiminstitches It sure is a perfect fit.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@jiminstitches nailed it, dude

I am thinking to get this jacket. However, I am concerned about the weather where I live. Does anyone feel comfortable wearing this jacket in between 20 and 30 degree Celsius weather?

[AdamJ]

@eemmmiiee If you're walking around in 20+ degrees with this jacket on, you will be warm very quickly

I wore it a few times last summer over a tee. Whilst it came in handy in the evening, during the day I was just carrying it around. Because heavy denim is quite rigid compared, I get uncomfortable pretty quick when it's warm

[eemmmiiee]

@AdamJ Thank you very much! That helps a lot. I'm also thinking about 526J-1420D, probably it's more comfortable for me.

[Alex]

@eemmmiiee it would be, and body temp is subjective of course, but I don't think i'd be wearing any denim jacket in 30C for long

So… well, here is an example when you’ve forgotten to pre-soak before washing. Iam devastated 🥲

What do you guys think?

[Matt]

I think as you continue to wear it it will continue to fade and you won’t notice it.

Just out of curiosity, why did you wash it in the first place? I’ve had a IJ-24 for about ten years and haven’t washed it once.

[yannis]

Agree with @Matt. Continue wearing it and eventually will all blend in

Yep thanks. I’ll hope so.

Well, it needs a refresh after a long day wearing in the sun.

Won’t happen again that I forget the pre-soak. Damn.

[Go For Chill]

@suitcaselife Is presoaking supposed to help prevent this?

Heyho, jep. I guess it’s because the fibre will soften up with a presoak but I don’t know the magic behind it exactly

[CosmoSix5]

I've only machine washed one iron heart denim item. It looked that same way lol. And I did a soak. It's the spin cycle mtl. Now I hand wash in a bin. Snap a few times and hand dry

[suitcaselife]

In good remembrance…

Well whatever. I will keep you updated how it turns out in the future.
