IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

[Mizmazzle]

@Nostradamion I wore mine everyday, all day for the first year I had it. It takes some work to get it to loosen up…but it fades pretty quickly. So that’s a satisfying progression that helps motivate wearing it a lot.

[Nostradamion]

@Mizmazzle Right on, that's good to know Really looking forward to the drop!!

@Setanta Looks like it's seen a lot of wear & tear.

[Setanta]

@CosmoSix5 Still looking at an April/May restock, so keep your eyes peeled on the page, and we will update once we have the jackets in-house.

4 months wear update. Great jacket definitely recommend pulling the trigger on this one when restock hits.

[Mizmazzle]

@thatdenimguy nailed that fit!! Fades coming in nice too!!

[thatdenimguy]

@Mizmazzle thanks man! Loving the blue shades starting to pop

[CosmoSix5]

Would this or the 21oz be better for 365 wear? 19oz is less than 21 obviously. But it seems this weave is tighter. Any help is appreciated.

@CosmoSix5 the 19l is a gnarly denim. Starts cardboard and stays cardboard for a while. If comfortable is what you are after the 21oz hands down. Now the 19l will reward you with beautiful high-contrast fades but you will have to work very hard for it.

[Mizmazzle]

@CosmoSix5 besides the super rigid denim and rugged break in…the 19oz lefty denim will breath way less than the 21oz denim, making the 21oz a lot easier to wear in warmer temps. Though I’d say neither will be summer jackets.

[pechelman]

The interesting thing about the 19L is that due to the fabric stiffness it sort of wears more like armor in that is drapes less over skin than 21. In that regard, while it breathes less well compared to the 21 it doesn't seem to conduct heat to your body as easily and also promotes a little more air flow.

I've worn my lefty in the summer heat of central Florida for a bit, and it was hot, but less so than my legs in 21oz. I know it's a different piece of clothing but this is when I noticed how the 19L wasn't really as bad as I was expecting.

Neither is a summer jacket but also neither is really decisively worse in my limited experience.

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman I’ll definitely agree that it isn’t really insulating like a flannel would be. Takes it quite awhile until it drapes. But boy, once it’s broken in, it sure molds nicely.
