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

[Yoprst]

@catdad1 @ work I wear all my denim (jeans/jackets/shirts) underneath coverall to prevent/avoid critical damage, as shipbuilding industry has quite tough working inviroment - metall all around, paint, welding etc.

[Yoprst]

BTW fellas, how do you wash your jean jackets in the washing machine - buttoned or unbuttoned?

@spitfiredealer why would you sell this beauty?? What a masterpiece.

[Mizmazzle]

@Yoprst unbuttoned for me

[Yoprst]

@Mizmazzle turned inside out, I understand

[Mizmazzle]

@Yoprst yes sir!

[spitfiredealer]

@Mizmazzle bit too snug

[V-P]

@aimes Sounds good! I would go for it, doing gradually hotter soaks is a good idea. I prefer a tighter fit on type 3’s personally

This jacket says not to run in the dryer (with all raw denim) but I feel like that would soften up this insanely tough denim if ran for a short time.

@aimes looks good. That's how mine looked. I soaked it 1hr 30c and then a cold wash, no spin. Fits perfect. That way It'll shrink about 1 inch in the sleeves and body. Everything else pretty minimal.

Day 28!

Tried on the lefty again today at SF self edge. Wife picked up sweet pair of samurais. The medium fits rather big, but with shrinkage accounted for think it would end up fitting perfect. Wouldn’t wanna layer with this one, My usual size large is way too big in new batch of these. Even with shrinkage don’t think would be fit looking for. I Didn’t feel like had to have it just yet, so going hold off and keep rocking my lefty OD, and other CPOs/jackets in rotation. Maybe in the near future will pick it up?

@worn2fade the creases on that jacket look great. Waist looked like it’s setting in a bit too

Obviously nothing dramatic here, but given that I only have experience with the 21 oz before, I’m shocked at how quickly fades are popping through in little places after just under one month of wear. Love this jacket & can’t wait to break it in more. (Disregard the cat hair modifications to the denim)

[worn2fade]

@jdwaid slowly but surely man! Thank ya!

[worn2fade]

30 days down!

Not the easiest month in this heat but the cooler months are approaching!

This jacket is starting to fade little by little. Surprised to see how quick the elbows are coming in.

[Larkens]

@worn2fade I see some blue hues popping! Looks good man! Rewarding jacket to wear, right?

[worn2fade]

@Larkens most definitely! Keeps me pumped and makes it feel worth it to wear it in this heat lol

Trying to get my collars to match

I tried to just let it be but it just looks a little too wild for me.
