IH-101J-SR - 18oz Selvedge Denim Storm Rider Jacket - Indigo

[Gammaman]

Here’s an update on the one that’s been worn 500+ days. Denim is a funny thing now it’s faded I don’t tend to wear it as much as it deserves.

This one looks incredible
How many washes if any ?

[freepickin]

@Gammaman holy crap that thing is beautiful. absolutely well done

That is a very interesting thing to think about. I'm envious of others and their faded trophies, and I also don't give my most faded pieces the attention they deserve either. Maybe it's more the journey than the destination?

Washes lost count

Because like most sensible grown ups, you wash your denim when dirty or smelly.....

[Tago Mago]

@Giles stop it with the common sense or you will be ostracized by random people on the internet (i.e. reddit) with strong opinions based on zero facts or experience

[Giles]

In which case:

Who knew we were such philosophers?

[ZackB]

I think I’ll wash mine when it gets dirty or smells

[Snafu]

@Gammaman Damn, that thing is beautiful.

[Gammaman]

@Snafu Yeah the 18 oz vintage denim fades are different I’m a big fan of it.

@Giles I’m not sensible far from it, I just ran out of fingers.

Wash it when it needs it.

@Gammaman

Can i ask your washing process for this type of jacket please

[Gammaman]

@hugothecowboy

Yeah no special treatments not even a soak turn garment inside out just bung it in the machine turn the dial to jeans wash (30 degrees c 45 min cycle) add detergent of choice no spin let air dry.

Did anyone size up in this? I wear a large in the UHFs and the chest seems a lot smaller on this, I usually aim for 22.5ish ..is the chart on this deceiving or should I size up.. thanks for any feedback

[ZackB]

@danieljones33 I usually get medium UHF’s and I got a medium in this. My chest measurement is never my issue though, usually shoulders and arm length. It is pretty tight with an uhf under it but it can still be buttoned up.

[Mizmazzle]

@ZackB rad you got one Zack. This is a dope jacket for sure!!

[ZackB]

@Mizmazzle it replaced my n1. Definitely has got more wear already. Loved the n1 though just too warm for down here.

The stormy weather really makes me want to ride it. Unfortunately, there are no German retailers that stock the jacket in size 40, if I'm not mistaken ...

[SashaDBZ]

@RobeOfTheMagi

Looks like I snagged the last German 40 a day before you

Slightly tight in the chest (108 cm) with a sweater, but a good fit I think. The XL would likely be too loose in the shoulders.

@SashaDBZ

Horrendous fit. I can send you my contact details though :).
