IH-526BJ - 18oz Raw Indigo Type III

[Morose_Penguin]

Usually worn every day to work for the past month or so. Plus days off.

I love it :). Almost as much as I love my Rider.

Great, some decent evo on one of these….

G, what was the thought process behind having the Beatle Buster Patch inside these?

[Giles]

I wanted it to be different from the patch in the 526J. As simple as that…..

Cool. Was just curious.

[Morose_Penguin]

Any chance of an OD version ever being made?

[Giles]

No.  Haraki won't overdye the 18oz it is too unstable….

[Morose_Penguin]

Fair enough, I'll have to save up for the 526od then.

in my feeble mind i always took the name as BJ to mean Beat's Jacket & the patch to imply the same. also made it eays to tell the difference, not the first & sure won't be the last that i'm wrong on this sort of thing

Well there was that, but it was actually primarily chosen for it's association with another more common 2LA

Well people from LA do specialize in BJ's so I am a bit confused. SF ALL DAY!

Wonder why I liked the place more than I thought I would…

This jacket is growing on me daily, but I have sizing issues.

Going by the table, I would prefer the length and arm of an XL, but the width of an L.  Giles' fit pics (wearing an XL) would confirm this - I'm almost as tall as him but don't eat as many pies    so I'm a bit skinnier.

Any ideas how I could get a round this? I'm wondering if getting an XL and trying to stretch the length after soaking might work.

I don't have any other IH jackets to compare.

"on a type III the arms and body have to be too short."

thats the thing and thats why we all wear jackets which looks like they belong to our sons ^^.

and no, you cant stretch it. it even gets worse with washing and when the denim creases as well.
