@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!

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.

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

[Freeman]

@JunkPants thanks, man!

The guitar is looking cool! was supposed to have it pre xmas but now I've been told early feb. Last update was neck was shaped. But i'm not sure how exciting another photo of a piece of wood is ahaha

Once she's got some paint and pickups, you guys will be the first to know.

[JunkPants]

@Freeman Very nice!

(Personally I enjoy seeing build/wood photos, and in many ways it's far less strange than pictures of worn down denim )
