The video I mentioned earlier is now live on YouTube, might be helpful if anyone needs more shrinkage reference before pulling the trigger:

Ugh I am so torn between this and the 16 oz slubby OD! Completely different fabrics, both calling my name...

[CosmoSix5]

@branpureza devotion on display. Thanks Sam!

@SamD that's exactly what I did. In your video it would be great if you also speak about just throwing it in the washer machine (no soap) for the "pre soak" vs just soaking in the tub and if there are any differences. And water temperature, agitation, etc. Thanks!

Congrats to everyone who got their grail jacket:-)

Sometimes you just have to try shit out for yourself. We simply can't cover every possible eventuality in a video. And if we did, we'd get it wrong, we can do generalisations, but how a denim behaves varies from one end of a 50 meter roll to the other. Roll with the journey.....

@Nick Was the jacket worn by Michael in the product photos washed or raw?

How is this jacket compare to 21oz Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Indigo IH-526PJ ?
thoughts?

[sabergirl]

Totally different animals @Luke_is_back . 21oz is soft and very breathable for a heavyweight. 19oz is hard and unforgiving.

There’s a wealth of information about both jackets if you read their respective threads.

[Luijim78]

@Luke_is_back the 526pj-21oz is heavy but breathable and soft from the first use, the 526l-19oz indigo is very stiff for the first few months, very crispy and easier to fade, they are two jackets at opposite ends, two photos that are not very nice but perhaps the give a bit of an idea:
1- 526pj-21oz;
2-526l-19oz indaco.
P.s. I loved Lefty so much that I got another one yesterday

[Chibs]

@Luijim78 the lefty photo definitely has more contrast. I haven’t seen one up close but definitely looks crunchier. Maybe closer to my 19oz SEXCPOOD?

[catdad1]

@Chibs se T3 od on the left, lefty OD on the right. I know this is the non OD thread so apologies for the slight off topic, but the SE collab is slubby and soft from the first wear. The Lod isn't nearly as rigid as I expected it to be though. I'm sure the indigo lefty is much more cardboard like.

[Nostradamion]

@Luijim78 Hey, if you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for your lefty to start showing fades like that? I recently bought the Self Edge / Iron Heart OD collaboration as well as the 526LOD, and I'm trying really hard not to purchase the indigo 526L, but I've wanted one for awhile and the whole FOMO thing is real. The 526LOD is amazing and is a keeper but I'm still really intrigued with the indigo 526L. Really like the electric blue pops on yours.

[Luijim78]

@Nostradamion It didn't take long, I wore it for 3 months almost every day but the fades appeared after a couple of weeks, if you can get it, I also got the 19oz collaboration with Self Edge indigo but the Lefty was and remains the jacket with my favorite fabric

[Luijim78]

@Nostradamion If it can be useful, here are three comparison photos between the Lefty, the Lefty OD and the 19oz Self Edge (worn only once)

[Luijim78]

@Chibs between the two, the 21oz Self Edge collaboration is more similar to the Lefty, the 19oz indigo Lefty fabric is definitely the crispiest I own, perhaps only the 16oz non-selvedge black fabric comes a little closer in terms of stiffness and initial crispness.
