IHJ-139-IND - 19oz Selvedge Denim Type II Jacket - Indigo/Beige

[tvaillant75]

Hi @Daniel-San ,
I am on the verge to buy my first type II but hesitating between this one and the cotton/linen blend issued for SS 26.
I am looking for something less stubborn than the classic heavyweight (409 ib, lefty etc) so it seems this one is heavy with good fade potential yet comfy?
Would love to see pictures
Thanks!

@Daniel-San Yes! New week, new project

@tvaillant75
this one is definitely not comparable with a lefty . From that point it’s comfortable yes , but of course it’s still pretty stiff as it’s brand new.
Maybe that’s a question for @SamD who is wearing it for almost a year ? now . And I guess he can answer the question about comparing it to the linen cotton version better .
I can highly recommend it for sure

@Daniel-San thanks for the reply. I believe we have similar measurements as I've seen for some Y2 jacket, did you go with XL?

[Daniel San]

@tvaillant75
no I took L as I don’t want to wear thicker sweaters under it. For me it’s more a summer, autumn and spring jacket so so only wear a tshirt, henley or thermal longsleeve underneath. But XL would work too I guess.

@tvaillant75 If you’re looking for fade potential, the 19oz is probably the way to go. As @Daniel-San mentioned, it’s not as stiff as the 19oz lefty denim, so it’s easier to break in – comparable to 21oz imo.

The cotton/linen, on the other hand, is a far less structured denim. Definitely looser, slouchier and more breathable, but I wouldn’t expect it to fade with as much contrast as the 19oz. Hope that helps.

@Daniel-San looking good!

I saw a faded IH type II jacket online and it looked amazing, but it appeared darker and very stiff. Was this jacket ever available in 19oz left hand twill? If so, what’s the #? Thank you!

[Giles]

I suggest that you search for Type II in Jackets. That is probably what someone else will have to do to answer your question......

@Biecher Type II search

[Biecher]

Oh okay I’m surprised there have been so many variants. I will have a look, thank you!

I made the first one in about 2008, there have been a few more made since then

When I bought this jacket, I had mixed feelings. It looks great and the quality is awesome—as usual with IH items—but I wondered if I should have sized up (I bought a size L).

I'm 176 cm (~5'9") and 84 kg (~185 lbs), with a broad, stocky build (wide shoulders and a larger chest). Despite my doubts, I emailed the IH crew and Tyler was super helpful, assuring me that the fit looked spot on for what it is: a Type II jacket.

I've been wearing it a few days a week over the last couple of weeks for first time (thanks, climate change! ) and I'm loving it. I can already feel it breaking in slowly, and since it’s 19oz, it keeps me pretty warm.
Here are a few fit pics of this beauty.

Edit: in the pics attached you can see the 14oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo (IH-634S-142). I will write my comment about the jeans later on.

@vic_1977 how’s it feel buttoned up?
