IH-526J-SLBod - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Overdyed

[rickno504]

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 agreed and well said!

[rickno504]

@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.

Jacket just arrived, love this texture.

The texture is amazing, and gets better with time.

@caithangkhanh nice work, best one I've seen yet. Overdyed jackets fade the best IMO!

[Chibs]

Agreed!!!

[caithangkhanh]

@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.

Has anyone noted color transfer from this jacket to lighter colored shirts? Also, for folks that have owned the jacket for a bit, are you folks treating the leather patch with anything? Thanks in advance!

[Giles]

Same answer for all the threads you asked this question in. There is a risk that you will get indigo/OD transfer to lighter coloured shirts, but how much is a function of how tight you wear them, how much you sweat and how active you are. But it will usually completely wash out.

I never bother treating a patch, but I never wash above 40C and usually at 30C.

I’m a hair away from grabbing one of these but hesitating due to the twist risk. I’m wasn’t familiar with what that even was until reading about it just now. How much of a problem is it on this jacket?

@chillmonroe I wear the regular type II slubby with zero issues.
