Redline Rally Y2

@Oaktavia Lefty is a beast compared to my 19L OD guessing it’s going to take a while to break this bad boy in?
Is yours soft yet ?It's really is a beast. It took a long time to break mine in and it is still not what I would call soft. It's texture is still pretty rough but not as beastly as it once was.

seems like the slubby od is a super fader , blue shades everywhere. around 10 or 12 hours wear and a initial wash to get rid of the folding creases on sleeves.
-
Wow–nice start on that!
-
looks pretty different after wash
-
@Daniel San Go on mate it’s going to look sick , did the soak get rid of the sleeve folds?
I’ve noticed the same with mine when mine was drying I ramped towels down each sleeve to try and get rid of it
Still slightly noticeable hopefully that just goes in time .. -
@Jcaz6996
Hey James, yes completely gone
soaked it for around half an hour and then washing machine for 2,5 hours ( 30 degrees) without spinning.
no ironing needed, guess because it’s just 16oz .
unbelievable how the blue shines trough already, this is gonna be awesome I guess.
put it on when still damp to set creases, looks pretty good
-
@Daniel San those macro pics look very good buddy! Nice work!
-
Yeah looking around at the FB posts and on here as well–a lot of IH entries
it should be called the Iron-line Rally at this point! -
-
amazing how the slb od fades , killer jacket

those two examples are many years old , you can see those folding creases if you look closely.
it’s not bad , and does not bother me much. but if possible I want to avoid@Daniel San you’ve got me concerned about about my Lefty now I’ve noticed I’ve got the same fold creases in both sleeves hasn’t come out with the Hot 1hr soak so tried to iron them out without success denim is so thick.
Do you think they will go with wear and time as the jacket breaks in ?
Or think that crease will become a fade similar to yours ?
How did yours appear? Cheers mate -
@Jcaz6996
hey James , that’s a really difficult question.
but I would try everything to get rid of them. Pretty sure you will get those lines too when you leave them.
it seems to be a issue with the thicker denim , the creases in my 16slb od were completely gone after a wash.
I once had a pair of jeans , can’t remember how many oz they had
the creases returned after every wash
unbelievable. I ironed them again and again, but creases returned.
Think the thicker denim has a kind of brain
and remembers here is a picture of my 777xhs from today , hey had the initial soak and wash. But did not iron the folding creases. will do it next days for sure .
-
Hi Daniel hope you’re all good mate,I’ve not noticed it before on any of my IH clothes apart for my 19L , did you ever fold your jacket and store it ?
Mine is always on a hanger never folded. I’ll take another look tomorrow and try and iron them out again.
I can’t see any visible line while wearing it .
I’ll take some pictures tomorrow 6 days wear no real visible signs of fades yet don’t go back to work until the 16th as our job got pushed back so I have some catching up to do..
So far really love this Type lll
Yours is looking great how long you looking to wear it ? Until it’s too warm
I’m hoping to get through to May/June -
Personally, I do not think it is the folding creases from packing/shipping causing the issue It is more likely to be where the article has been placed into the washing machine drum and gets a sharp crease. This can be avoided by soaking before you wash and making sure that the fabric is as malleable as possible before stuffing it into the washing machine.

@Giles
never fold jeans or jackets, they are all on hangers. made some "special" hangers for jeans.
one of the first things I learned here was to soak before putting in the washing machine. Had some issues with my first purchase from IH ( 33od) and someone advised me to soak before. Can’t remember who it was , but since then all get soaked before.
And wash all Jackets and jeans alone, no other clothes in the machine.
so in the end for me it’s still a miracle what causes those creases/lines , but as I said I don’t care that much.
I try my best to iron them , and hope for success. -
@Daniel San I agree with Giles, that looks like washing machine caused lines, like I got on my new 634S-A from not soaking them
