Double Indigo RB.
Are you still wearing this? Did you keep it raw or soaked it? And hows sizing compared to IH? Found a double indigo one I am eyeing right now
Also maybe you could say something about how this is for summer compared to your slubby IH jacket?
Good morning
I wore it for exactly 50 days last spring/summer. I soaked it in warm water first thing as they shrink considerably, even just in cold water. The double indigo is my personal favorite of the denim varieties.It is the most lightweight jacket I own and feels that way compared to anything I have that is IH. I have a high determination to wear long sleeved denim in the warmer months. I found this to be the easiest to wear of all that I have tried. They are also cut super super short and a little boxy. This cut helps with airflow and less fabric in general makes it easier. I have not tried to wear my slubby too much in the heat. If I were to choose either one to wear in the summer it weird be the RB. I even took it with me to the beach in Ocracoke, NC last summer.

@Oaktavia thanks a lot for your answer, extremely helpful! If I remember right you are xxl-xxxl in most IH right? What size did you go for with the rb? And hows the fade progress going on it?

I was before beer weight loss. Now I am XL XXL.

My RB is size 42. I can take photos today.

From my backyard to your screen. -

@FlavourFade happy to help bro. Photos posted below.
-
@Oaktavia looking great!! Now have to look into measurements and then decide if this or the kersey work jacket will be my summer jacket project....
-
@FlavourFade 14oz kersey is pretty thick and heavy.
-
@Oaktavia yeah I was talking about the 12oz work jacket, seems more breathable. But the RB is my favourite right now.
-
@Oaktavia how tall are you Stevie? I would like to try one but the cuts are usually really short on me @ 6’1ish
-
@Anesthetist I am 6' 2" and some change. The cuts are super short like as short as possible.
-
-
@Anesthetist worth a try at least, they are unique jackets and look great.
-
Hands down my favorite denim jacket.
I’m in a 44 ( hot soak )

getting a pair of N-1Z Deck Pants - Indigo Jungle Cloth tomorrow. the indigo jungle cloth looks great and I hope the sizing works.
found those pants in the warehouse, no idea if it’s a sample or maybe extinct piece
definitely like what they do at Mr Freedom -
@Tyler-Durden may I ask how tall you are and what fabric is that?
-
I’m 5’10. This is the SC/66. This was hot soaked so there was a bit of shrink to this.
I have the black version as well, unsoaked and it is considerably larger.
-
@Tyler-Durden dude fantastic fit man, looking awesome.
-
@Oaktavia Thank you so much brother! If I had to go with just one this would be it.
-
@Tyler-Durden thanks a lot ! Did you not wear the black one yet or just wanna leave it raw? I hope the double indigo fits me in 42, gonna be snug but it was the last one I was able to source and really want to make it work. Maybe I will only soak the arms or leave it raw

I do wear it at least once a weak. I decided to just leave it raw, and let everything settle in on its own. Maybe down the road I’ll do a cold soak.
- I’ll throw it on today and snap some pics.
I also have the Ice blue in a 42. They do run a size up until you soak. Will break in and loosen up over time with wears.
I’d suggest letting it do its own thing as it breaks in, if you decide to soak start with a cold soak.
