IH-526J-SLBod - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Overdyed
-
Sooo I managed to squeeze a hoodie underneath on our walk today.
Dig the tighter silhouette and it’s turned out to be more practical than I originally planned for. Between my roomier 21oz 526PJ and this bad boy, I’m pretty smitten over here.

Some bits of evo after 2 years of periodic wear. It’s one of those garments that pops when the light is just right.

When I stopped at BlackBlue yesterday I was able to try on this slubby. I’ve been wearing a slightly over sized lefty the last four months and quickly realized the hype behind having a proper fitting jacket.
Ended up not grabbing this one but instead an OD CPO for the RR. It was dope being able to see it on though.

Hey guys, new to the forum and seeking some advice or input about the fit of my OD jacket. The measurement chart says the XL length is the same as the XL indigo but the back of mine is riding up a little and sticking out slightly. I have the indigo slub and the fit is perfect, the back doesnt do this. Any experience with this? Im worried its only going to get worse from here on out. Will it go away and drape better as it breaks in and forms to my body? Or is it just not fitting correctly? Side pictures of the 2 jackets. Thanks in advance for any input.

@rickno504 first off, welcome! It’s hard to be definitive based on your pics but both jackets look like they fit well to me. You seem to be leaning forward more in the OD pic, which will accentuate any issue at the back. Others may want to add something but I think you’ll be fine when the OD jacket settles a bit. Using the waist adjustment / hem cinches might help too.
Remember no two jackets will fit exactly the same, so maybe embrace the slight differences and enjoy both for what they are.

@ARNC thanks for the response. You're right, it is sitting better now. The indigo was my 1st ever denim jacket so im still new to all of this. I love them both, been wearing them daily. Looking forward to the future with these.
-
@rickno504 good to hear. They’ll keep getting better from here on.

Starting my third spring with this great jacket. Two years of rotational wear and 2 hand washes so far.
-
@jdwaid was deciding between this and the 19oz but your pic makes it easier!
and to all, I have a size 40 type 2 in 16oz that I would like to swap for this type III OD Black if there're any taker

Jacket just arrived, love this texture.

@caithangkhanh nice work, best one I've seen yet. Overdyed jackets fade the best IMO!
The devil is in the detail..

Agreed!!!

@AdamJ thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
OD certainly take a bit more effort and wear to fade, but it’s so rewarding once the fades start coming in. I really need to add some more OD pieces to my small collection. This is my only OD piece.
