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

[Tobi]

@cricca difficult to judge without an attempt to close up. Length and shoulders look good to me, arm length could be borderline. My lefty did shrink quite a bit in particular in the arm length after the first wash. On the other hand: some people never wash their Type IIIs, and always wear them open...

[cricca]

@Tobi it's only the armlength and the armpits feels a bit tight

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Fit looks great to me, but if it's tight and doesn't feel good it's not worth much.

@cricca it’s going to shrink when you soak it and shrink a lot more when you wash it.

When I got mine the medium looked kinda like yours does now and the size large looked too big and loose. I keep the size large and when I soaked/ washed it, it shrunk down to perfection.

If you open the link you can see how the size medium and large fit me when I tried both sizes. Then if you go down a page or two from there you can see how much the size large shrunk and how it looks post initial wash.

@Mizmazzle the 40 I bought was washed AND I soaked it on super hot water but it was still much bigger then my 526pj. I'm not sure if this one is soaked. It looks pretty new

[Mizmazzle]

@cricca ah yeah. I understand your plight now. The used jacket wash history can be tricky.
In that case you might as well rock it as is. See if you can make it work. If it’s a winner then congrats. If not, you can sell it and snag one on the restock.

Hey.
Probably been noticed already by others, but I've just realised as I keep my eye open for the new drop of the 19 oz Lefty OD, that the description info for the 19 oz Lefty Indigo appears to suggest that this will now be Sanforised.
Am I missing something or is this info awaiting an update.
Cheers.

@M800sct1 the denim is unsanforised and one washed, I'll update the page

[jebrand]

@AdamJ I noticed the same issue with the 19l jeans

[Notchas]

These posts are why I got the OD lol. All the way shrank!

[RobeOfTheMagi]

As I understand, the OD lefty is a processed version of this jacket. How come they do not drop at the same time, if you don't mind me asking.

[Alex]

I guess that they decided to overdye the ones that were ready when they hit the number that we ordered

When mine came it was in a priority Mail box(eBay score) that you'd ship a laptop in. And it felt like a laptop was in it. Like a 90's era MacBook heft lol
