IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

[Alex]

@tody further to AJ's reply, Self Edge are in the driving seat for their collabs, we will not be posting any photos of those products unless they do first, I am afraid.

However, I would say that this and the SE collab are pretty different, texture wise theirs is closer to the SLB than the 19oz LHT

I have the same debate between the Self Edge and Lefty. I have a Lefty currently that I really like, it’s just quite a bit more snug in the chest and armpits than its non OD cousin (that I also have). I need to size up from my normal XL.

The idea that the Self Edge version is a more slubby material really appeals to me, I love my slubby 888’s. I hope and pray some more details are released on the Self Edge release before the Lefty restocks as I’m sure both of these are going to sell out.

@nrtphotos I'm with you. Based on Alex's comment regarding Slub I'm more inclined to wait for the SE. If we're not still waiting for both still lol. It seems like so much is dropping soon. Whatever soon is

I was chatting with the lady who embroidered the mechanics shirt for me. About putting IRON HEART on the back of my next jacket. Anyone have ideas to share via pics?

@tody I was just reading in one of the self edge posts that all 17oz and up is the new direct OD method and lower weight is still sulfur OD method, but I know it's not certain this Lefty OD is the new or old method. If it is the old method I will buy the lefty OD. If it's the new method I will probably pass.

if one is the old school OD it will fly immediately.

I don't really understand although I did read Graham's comments previously.

What difference does the method of OD dying actually make to the Jacket in the long term !?

[mxhansen]

Any updates as to the ETA on this piece? Trying to decide if I should wait for this or pull the trigger on the SelfEdge collab next week.
Thank you ️

@M800sct1 I may be wrong but I think that the older method is a little bit easier to fade where as the new method will fade, but a little slower. Sure I’ve read that on one of the forum threads

[Mizmazzle]

@DeeDee85 yeah I think you’ve hit on that correctly. Also the environmental impact is much worse with the older method so you get the good feelies with the new method in that regard.

[M800sct1]

Cheers. Thanks for that.

Certainly my 2 year old 14 OZ OD Type 3 has faded nicely with really light Indigo coming through on the arm crease sets in particular. ( likely the older type then).

Will post photos when next home. In the Alps at the momewnt with my Work.

@mxhansen not yet no, hopefully here soon

There's probably a very expensive way to mitigate the environmental impact while not changing the actual process. I read that Horween leather was going to basically be forced out of business(by changing their famous tanning process) but they got around the government demand by installing their very own water treatment plant. Probably a tough sell for the amount of things Works OD's. Would take a long time to recoup the $1 million+

Exact same question I was wondering. I have this jacket in the non OD version and I love it. I want an OD version to contrast my jeans a little. The self edge version looks cool but I think id prefer the OG.

I was also interested in the 21oz type 3 dropping today but I think having that and the 19oz type 3 would be a little redundant.

[AdamJ]

Soon as it's on the way to IHUK we'll let you know, but hopefully soon

[CosmoSix5]

This is my next appointment. The SE will really have to blow me away.

[VegaS10]

@Johnnyutah247 , get the 21 oz type III.

It's an OG classic.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

If the fit is yours (long and slim) then this is one of IH greatest pieces.

[CosmoSix5]

I've got my fingers crossed for this one. If it doesn't work out no biggie though.

[Galena418]

Any chance these are coming in the next 30 days? Have a trip coming and it's probably going to be cold

[AdamJ]

@Galena418 Unsure yet, sorry. They are due soon, that's the best I can do!
