Some bad news for the fans of red Ws - despite the sample having a red one, and us requesting that the production run keeps that, the factory got confused and moved the red W back to black (as it was on the original IH-526-SBG). Clearly, it's not worth the cost and environmental impact to send these all the way back to Japan to be restitched, so we will have to live with the black W on this run, and adjust on future runs...

Sorry guys

OK, So more bad news (for some) and good news for others. After some investigation, I have worked out why the red W was omitted...

Unfortunately, despite us specifically making a new sample (pictured in OP), requesting size changes from the previous jacket (IH-526-SBG), and adding the red W (per sample in OP), somewhere in Japan a mistake was made, and the old IH-526-SBG was rerun exactly as it was. This means that the run that has been recently delivered is not like the sample in the OP at all, and is infact just a rerun of this old product:

As such, I will lock this thread for a period of time. We will 'restock' the old jacket next week, but we will be pushing another run of this model, with the adjusted fit, red W etc through as fast as possible for those of you who prefer a longer body.

Sorry about this guys, but for those of you who like shorted T3s, and pockets, you may have hit gold...

@AdamJ are we still talking about 2026?

[AdamJ]

@robinvonbatman no idea, sorry. When we next get a production schedule update we'll have a clearer picture

As a denim jacket nerd, and SBG fanboy, checking this thread for updates has become a bitter-sweet hobby of mine. Winter is cold here in Virginia. Hope I survive long enough to see the day of release. 🥶

[AdamJ]

Too cold for me to wear the sample at the moment. When it starts warming up, I'll share some fits!

[Larkens]

@AdamJ Did It get some wear between the last post in September and now? Been enjoying this thread since 2023 and just like @HelluvaFella looking forward to the release and any updates in-between

[AdamJ]

@Larkens yeah hang tight i'll grab some

[Larkens]

@AdamJ thanks!

Who needs an expensive macro lens when you have Adam C's linen tester

[Larkens]

@AdamJ thanks! Looking good! And nice touch with the linen tester! No need for a macro lens at all. Thanks for the update!

[HelluvaFella]

@AdamJ the tease is real. 🥲

Any news on this front? The upcoming restock of the black/black is just around the corner and I’m not sure if I should pull the trigger on this.
