@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......

[Tago Mago]

@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?

[AdamJ]

@vic_1977 looks spot on to me

[vic_1977]

@Oaktavia It feels good. It’s a bit snug, but not too tight (bear in mind it’s 19 oz); however, every day I wear the jacket, I notice it’s becoming less snug.
@AdamJ Thanks!

@vic_1977 What size IH shirt do you normally wear? Jacket looks good!
I'm tossing up between a L and an XL.

[funjazzlike1400]

I am thinking about sizing up on this jacket, because it's 19oz denim is this jacket going to be warm for fall weather?

[Alex]

19oz will feel warm-ish, but it wouldn't keep me warm over a tee with nothing else in true fall weather where I live, or visit frequently (UK, New York)

[vic_1977]

@AskAxel Thanks for your comment! I usually wear L size in IH t-shirts. If you want to layer, I'd go to XL. Since I wanted to wear just a t-shirt (or the IH Knit Long Sleeved Crew Neck Sweater), L was enough for me.
