@DeeDee85 I used Mike’s damping method with a water spray

I may want to try this. Do you just spray with room temperature water? Any other details I should know about?

[flannel slut]

@Chibs nope! just spray down the area you are looking to set your creases (typically where the “combs” form, inside the elbow area and behind the knees)

[Chibs]

@flannel-slut so lay flat, spray and just leave it to dry? Do I bend arms to force creases while it drys?

[flannel slut]

@Chibs I’ll actually spray while wearing and then start doing “air curls” to set the creases and wear w that area a little damp till dry

[tvaillant75]

I wear it, spray at the crease level and maintain my arms folded. Really no need to overcomplicate it I believe

[flannel slut]

One last best practice to share that I stole from @Daniel-San is to soak the garment completely to release any fold creases created from shipping, drip dry completely, then FilthyMike spray away

[Chibs]

Thank you both! Going to try this today on my 21oz type 3.

Going to try the spray method mentioned above on my SEXIH25-TIII - Self Edge x Iron Heart OD jacket...but maybe not today as it's supposed to be close to 100 degrees today. Already feels hot AF and it's still early in the morning!!

Quick work fit. Gotta say I like this 16oz slub better than the 19oz OD lefty. Just a cool unique denim, check out the slub on the back!

[selbstzweck]

Really torn between this and the standard indigo version…Anyone have fade pics of both? I’m not usually that into overdye but with the texture this one is speaking to me…

[LeDuc_RW]

@selbstzweck it’s an amazing denim. I liked this OD version so much I grabbed the indigo as well. Can’t go wrong with either one!

Okay, picked up this one today. I like that it’s smaller than my other type 3’s so I’ll only be wearing t-shirts underneath. I also love the sleeve length and the slubby texture. Sort of like my SEXCYPOOD but even more pronounced!
Here are some fit pics with shit lighting.

@Chibs As a fellow owner I am glad you picked it up, so I can look forward for an entertaining review soon !

It gets better every time, enjoy it in good health

[Chibs]

@tvaillant75 thanks man! Just realized it’s my third type III What do you guys think of the fit? My Daughter took one look and said “9 out of 10” which was cool.
Here it is compared to the 21oz monster

[tvaillant75]

@Chibs same observation as you. Mine is also on the tight side, e.g. it's a "over a tee" denim jacket as OD always tends to run slightly smaller for me, even when sized up. FYI I have some fit photos earlier in the thread.

I am perfectly fine with it as I don't layer much with type IIIs overall, and it is complementary to my 19oz lefty which runs large. it has a nice 60s look: fitted and slightly cropped.

Looking at yours it looks golden over a tee, and you can be sure it won't get smaller when washed.

[JunkPants]

@Chibs Fit looks perfect.

[Chibs]

@tvaillant75 Awesome, thank you!!! I figured my other type 3’s are better for layering with hoodies & sweaters but not as complimentary with just a t-shirt. This is also how I justified an other IH type 3

The nerd in me wanted to find out what those Japanese characters mean. As far as Google is concerned it’s “SLAB” which sounds an awful lot like “Slub” I’m guessing there’s more to it and look forward to possibly finding out
