IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
@jpvisual good advice! I will wait for next round and hope for a good fit then
-
@jpvisual wish I took this advice when I bought mine lol. Great input!
-
@worn2fade I've had to buy and sell more than a few items to get a good fit. It's definitely trial and error. I'm not one of those that can fit any IH piece with ease, but when I do find something thats a fit it's worth the headache! Your jacket looks good on you though
-
@jpvisual thank you my friend!

Redline rally!! Driving back to SF tonight, depending on traffic. Soak tonight or tomorrow. It Says can enter with a shirt too, may be overzealous to enter with my SEXCPOOD. But could do both at first and then go from there. Most likely be sticking with the lefty full year. -
@Davids_denim
Stoked to be fading same jacket with you man, be cool see the different evo -
@meatmarketdenim1 always fun to have a fading buddy. Gonna enjoy fading with you.
-
@Davids_denim fabric feels good man. It’s still a lefty so at the end of the day it’s not “soft” persay but definitely feels much better than when it first started off
-
@worn2fade Oh man, I was really enjoying your journey with the jacket. Was it the sizing being little on the relaxed size that made the decision of letting go of the jacket? What are you planning to replace it with?
-
It definitely is the sizing. After shopping at BlackBlue when I was in Minnesota, I tried on a proper fitting Type III (16oz Slub OD,) and man did I fall in love with the fit of it. Made me look at my lefty like something was wrong with it. It’s truly just the length of the jacket, it’s a big difference having a jacket sit at your belt line and having one that passes it by a few inches.
I’ll probably grab a 21oz unmodified type III next.
-
@worn2fade I see, yeah good call on the length, it does make a big difference. Unmodified must be it then, if you prefer shorter length.
-
Minor update, initial soak and air dry complete.
This denim is insane lol. I’m not a stranger to heavyweight denim and I would like to think I understood what I was getting myself into but this really is crazy. Not for the faint of heart for sure.
Fit pics soon.IG : Davids_Denim

@Davids_denim Can’t wait to see it on ya! Your words are 100% true

@Davids_denim yeah man Lefty is wild most robust
-
@worn2fade I hear you on the length. That's one of the main reasons I bought another one and sized down. This jacket is very unforgiving in the length. I do really dig mine now though. I also have the LOD version and that hits me a little higher, right at the belt. I don't need another type iii, but if I did pick one up it would most certainly be an unmodified classic trucker.
-
@worn2fade the unmodified 21oz is an amazing jacket. Had one by accident because it was sold as modified but wanted handwarmer pockets at the time and also had the lefty OD now I regret selling it because it fit much better and was much easier to wear.
-
@Davids_denim looking forward to some fit pics. Very cool that you put the works in something like the lefty.
