IH-9526PJ - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Modified Type III - Superblack

My xxl came in and fit much better than the SBG. I’ll post pics when I have a chance

[mudhogen]

Could size up to xxxl but want to wear with just a tshirt. I prefer the stiffer fabric on this compared to the SBG. Fit is exactly what I was hoping for

looks incredible @mudhogen

@Alex are these going to self edge? I’m going to be in NY next week

@pfw821 this is a model they stock, but you'd need to ask them about what will be available to buy in their shops

Happy Sunday dear friends, I also think that the SB suits my ridiculous physique better than the SBG, I will keep both but this will definitely be the one I will wear the most.

@Alex
Hi Alex, no list of stores that carry item?

[Alex]

@hugothecowboy we don’t update the list in restocks as it becomes super inaccurate when you consider all the shops that may have taken something at some point in time, not restocked it, but some may still carry old stock etc etc

too funny. I’m still stewing over here at what size I might be. I’m 6’0 190 lbs with muscular frame, think I’m an XL based on the specs but hard to decide

@Alex said in IH-9526PJ - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Modified Type III - Superblack:

This denim may be discontinued. We are having big issues with the production, and I am in talks with Japan about it currently. It would be a major bummer, but - we are talking specifically about the Superblack Non-Selvedge.

Sadly this is now confirmed. The mill was forced to move the production to a different type of loom, and it created visual bumps in the fabric as a result. Haraki is not willing, rightly so, to make what he considered B/C grade denim, so we have come to the agreement to discontinue making this denim. There are still some production runs in the works, and we will hopefully still release those as planned with the A grade denim, but if that changes we will let you know.

Moving forward, as we have done with jeans already, the IH-9526PJ, IH-9527J and IH-9526V will be superseded by the Superblack Selvedege Denim. Accessories will move across too, at some point, but we have more flexibility to make these from B grade denim as we need smaller sections.

Plea for emotional support over the loss of my IH-9526PJ. (joking...kind of).
I bought my IH-9526PJ in 2023 and after two years of wear, it was breaking in nicely. Did my IH-9526PJ make a difference in how I felt every time I put it on? In a word, yes. I loved that jacket precisely because of how it made me feel every time I put it on. Then one night our entire town and our house along with it, burned to the ground. Within the context and scope of this nearly incalculable loss, the loss of a jacket is inconsequential. Physical objects can for the most part will be replaced so it is truly not a big deal...but damn do I miss that jacket.

Adding to my original post above...just read Alex' update that the Superblack Non-Selvedge denim is officially discontinued. And with that my IH-9526PJ gets added to the list of physical objects that cannot be replaced.

@chris_w Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you the best and hopefully everyone is safe!

[chris_w]

@Igneous Thanks man, yes most importantly we're all safe.
