IH-526J - 21oz Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

[ton312]

Hate to bogart but after I soaked the collar and sleeves wet with a water bottle and wore it until dry I’m convinced this is the best type 3 jacket I’ve ever owned. Absolutely hits all the points I wanted. Shorter, no hand warmers and built to move. Absolutely nailed this pattern to the ground.

Looks like it was made just for you @ton312 . Enjoy it

@ton312 Totally agree. Love the classic, shorter pattern without hand warmer pockets. Wish it was used for more fabrics.

(But I suppose more people want the "modern" jackets, with hand warmer pockets and a longer/slimmer body)

[ton312]

@JunkPants I’d love one with snaps instead of buttons, so I can avoid chewing up the button holes. Perhaps the denim is too thick for it though? Quite a few of my vintage denims have snaps. This is one of my favs. Lee Gemini. It’s reversible! As seen on me and a significantly cooler (RIP) legend in Robert Redford.

@ton312 That is very cool indeed!

I doubt it would be too thick for snaps, see for instance IHSH-189-IND and IHSH-189-BLK, although different construction. (Not to mention plenty of leather products with snaps).

I'm patiently waiting for the IHSH-189-IND myself, along with 90% of the forum

Hope a lot of the untucked indigo are getting made 🥹It’s gonna be a good old-fashioned bun fight

At some point, I’m going to need 3 more of these…

Have the women’s sizes ever been made for this jacket?

[Giles]

No, but we made a 21oz indigo non-selvedge version a long time ago......Maybe we should add a few to the next run @alex?

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd the only way to determine the correct size is to fly to Gos Vegas and try them in person

[Giles]

Or ask me to mule them into Baltimore......
