IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
I am so torn between OD or not on this when it gets released...
-
I think @Luijim78 summed it up nicely. It's still more structured than any 21oz type iii. Is has a nice crispness to it but you can get a soft hand fairly quickly from wears. Get great creasing around the elbows. Mine is shorter than the regular 19L but mine is from an old batch. The regular 19L is days harder and stiffer and alot more stubborn to give and soften up.
-
One more question from anyone who has both, I'm presuming from the replies that this is true, but will a 19LOD item fold up thicker than either its equivalent garment in the 21/21OD?
For example, if one were to travel with these jackets and stuff it in an overhead bin or try to cram it in a duffle, will the 19L take up the most room of them all? Considering equal amounts of wear.
-
@pechelman I don't think that the 19L od will take more room that the 21oz. The regular 19L most definitely will.
-
The OD process makes the item more packable. The scientific word is "more-squishy" I only have the 14oz fwiw
-
@pechelman I have the 19 oz Lht type 3 and the 21 oz type 3. I can take a pic of them folded up next to each other if you want. My assumption is the difference will be negligible. The LHT does measure a bit bigger than the 21oz type 3 in my size though. Looking back, I might have preferred to size down. But it works well for layering.

Mine got delivered but I'm out of town until Friday. There's an invoice in the box so we'll see if it gets opened..... If you don't hear from me in a while send help

@mxhansen eBayyyyyy got lucky and did not mess around. I made him a fair offer and he accepted
-
@AdamJ YES!!!
-
This will be exciting news for many of us! I wonder if a certain other highly popular piece worthy of 'grail' status will be in that same delivery...

@Tago-Mago this is the og dying method so that may change the new one. However this is similar enough to the 14oz 529J 142od. The lefty is slightly heavier and not as soft new. The weave is super tight before the OD so now it's really crunchy but still comfortable. It's 86° so I wasn't out in it for long but these are good quick comparisons as I wore the 14oz all week.
-
@Tago-Mago the contrast stitching is a tad more vibrant on the Lefty. I like that more but you may be subdued
-
@Tago-Mago wonder about the same thing.. the regular lefty remains so much cardboard that I am tempted to go maximum comfort for filling the OD type III gap...
