I’ve a sneaking suspicion this is going to be a wills, but not…gross? Waxy? Hard to describe but I’ve never wanted to even touch one of those, and would probably like this.

[Northman]

Yeeaa... Will have to try to grab one.

@sabergirl lol

[steelworker]

@sabergirl yeah I get what you mean.
being soaked is better than that cold clammy feeling.

And to echo everyone else what a fucking beast!

[FlavourFade]

Are these fade resistant or made to fade?

I'd love to see some more pics, the wait has seemed interminable on this one. @Freeman can you give us any insights into how it wears and how you see the use case for it? It's beastly obviously.

[Freeman]

@Oroccoco I'll get some more photos asap.

The first few days of wear, you're definitely fighting it. But after a couple of weeks and creases set you're good. I've had it for 2 month and I can still only get one button fastened. It's a great outer layer for drizzles and I honestly feel like if I was hit by car, the car would be worse off ahaha.

[Oroccoco]

Thanks @Freeman , sounds amazing, look forward to the bloodbath that will be trying to get hold of one. Favouring the black I think.

[Crispy Heron]

@Oroccoco - same dilemma as me. Black or duck?

[Oroccoco]

@Crispy-Heron it might be the ultimate brown duck, and maybe a once-only deal, so naturally tempting, but I'm thinking this slightly dressier black one might be more versatile. I'm flop-flopping too!

[scarfmace]

I've been planning to wax my IH-532 for a while now to boost its weather resistance. Looking this beast, it’s definitely time to stop thinking about it and just get it done."

@Freeman thanks for the input, how does it perform with cold? with a UHF under specifically ?

Cheers,

[Freeman]

@tvaillant75 Layering with a UHF will definitely keep you warmer. Comparable to blanket lined chore jacket, but a little more wind proof and water resistant.

@Freeman Some more photos would be cool to see!

[Freeman]

Here are some more photos.

I dont have a full length mirror at home but I'll get some shots tomorrow!

[Freeman]

@Northman added!

[Northman]

I like how it's reactive dyed but judging by the photos it does actually get patina!

[Freeman]

@Northman Yeah it's looking and feeling great!

I'm guessing it's the paraffin gathering in the creases, but I really like how it's looking in this state.

I'm sure one of the other guys will be able to confirm.

[JunkPants]

What a cool piece. Thank your for the photos @Freeman
(And now that I think about it, how is that guitar coming along?)
