IH-526J-22OD - 22oz Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Indigo Overdyed Black

Progressive flow of the evo.

@Oaktavia wow, that one is coming along very nicely! Do I see some indigo coming through or is that an effect of the sunlight? My jacket seems to fade to grey.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia Looks great! Dig this jacket.

[Oaktavia]

@Lowlander it is blue coming though like blue grey. The sunlight makes it more visible for sure. It looks more grey indoors with fluorescent lighting. Outdoors it looks as overdye has been described to fade to indigo and grey. Same with my 25oz Mad Black. Always looks more blue outside in the backyard.

69 wears no wash. The colors of this denim shine brightly in the sun. It is alluring to see a dark, muted denim revealed in glistening glory. I'm going to hold off on a wash for now and see where it goes from here. This jacket is taking the driver's seat over my 140IG.

She's definitely built for a beating. Gets softer with every wear.

It's undead no more fabric AFAIK.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Such a pity. I’m always looking for really short but great fading jackets.

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 heck yeah man I will post more photos this week after I wear it around some more.

@Oaktavia No washing machine on this one, just soak? Not there yet on mine but then need to figure out what to do.

[Lowlander]

@natefreezy I've machine washed mine at low temperature and no spin. That went fine: no marbling or shrinkage whatsoever

Usually if I feel the need to wash a denim garment a little sooner than expected, I just do a handwash in my bathtub. Little agitation here and there, low effort really. That usually buys me 25-30 more wears before I soak it and then chuck it into the washing machine. As @Lowlander said, should be just fine.

Loving this 22oz OD. Totally broken in and comfortable.
