IH-526-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

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.

@suitcaselife dude do not fret! It looks cool!!! Seriously, I love how it turned out. Embrace it, wear the hell outta it. It's already awesome and will only get better from here on out.

[Tago Mago]

@suitcaselife own it and make it yours. It’s all part of the journey. FWIW I was really gentle with my stuff in the beginning and only washed my clothes in the tub. Now I don’t care and wash and spin like all my other clothes

[suitcaselife]

Thanks @Oaktavia and @Tago-Mago

You’re absolutely right. I will just continue to wear the jacket and hope that the difference will decrease over time.

@Go-For-Chill SBG is a notorious marbler if not carefully washed. If you soak it in the tub for about an hour you can avoid this. Reason is marbling comes from creases the get pressed into the denim when it’s spinning about in the machine. If the denim is completely saturated before putting in the machine you can largely avoid the creases leading to the marbling pattern. Fully saturated denim allows the denim to be uniformly twisted and creased and avoid the marbling.

[Go For Chill]

@Mizmazzle So you soak it before every wash to avoid marbling, not just once when you first get the item?

[Mizmazzle]

@Go-For-Chill yup! I think after a couple years of hard wear and it’s super faded out you could probably forgo the soak at that point.

@lasquintanas no, sorry mate. It will come, but no dates atm

[swamp_wizard]

out of curiosity, was this cut of the jacket that sold considered a success? I noticed it sold out pretty quick, could this mean a return to the older cut on some jackets?
(I'm a big fan of the short jacket length and long sleeves personally)

No, we will not be modifying the fit of our modified jackets in the future, but do have the unmodified pattern still in the arsenal

I grabbed one of these in size L from Iron Shop Provisions. I probably could have gone up to an XL but seeing how boxy this one is I went with an L. Also they were sold out of XL. Now the wait begins. I will try to take fit pics when this one shows up.

[pmadison95]

My jacket arrived awhile ago but I fi ally got around to taking some pics. I am glad I went with the large.

[Giles]

Nice, boots aren't bad either

[pmadison95]

@Giles thanks they are made by Renav Goods with dark brown shinki horsebutt. I was really impressed with the finishing and they go great with IH.
