IH-9526PJ - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Modified Type III - Superblack

@Malkior Looks great.

I recently picked one of these up second hand and have fallen fully in love with it. They are bad. ass.

BUT .... I have some questions about the button holes. Many of them see to have extra threads and frayed edges. The very bottom one is clean, but the others all have a little something going on.

Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Should I repair it? Do it myself? Send it off somewhere? Cut it away? Anyone else also see this? I've seen a little of this before on other jackets but not quite to this extent.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a clean one:

Here are some frayed holes:

And here are two with lots of extra thread:

Oi! I'm no expert but I would say that you dont have to worry about that. Mine its brand new and have similar (but newer, extra thread) I think that is a natural "behavior" of the holes after use (button and unbuttoning).

@Malkior that’s helpful to see thanks for sharing!

Hi there! Does anyone knows if the coming back of the 21oz vest superblack is related to a possible come back of this type III jacket? (Please say yes)

@Malkior
If you scroll up you will see that this particular denim may be discontinued. Whose to say maybe the jacket will be made in the Superblack Selvedege Denim some day instead.

I got this one myself, but I am looking at the SBG type 3 thats in the future products. Trying to justify having both or maybe selling the superblack and replace it with the SBG since I do enjoy a bit of fading.

@Malkior Hi Malkior,
I believe the IH-526J-SBG should be coming back in September - please have a look here for the thread. If you sign up for a notification on our website then you should receive an email when these come back in stock.
However we don't have any plans to bring the non-fade version in the near future, but never say never!
Hope that helps - Chris

Thank you very much. So ...no coming back is expected for the IH 9526PJ type III Superblack non fade jacket That went down the drain
