IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker

What is the difference between V1 vs V2  other than Sanfronized vs non. I am considering but was hoping for raw jacket

It was essentially a new batch of the same denim. Possibly with a tweak to design of the weave, possibly the same design but done at a different mill. If you check out the IH 666S-19L-v2 and IH 634-19L-v2 threads I think you’ll find the definitive answer.

Both are unsanforized.  We used the same yarns but wove the denim at a different mill….

Hope it works out for you. Lovely jacket.

Coming up on about two years with this beast. I think it was my second IH purchase and was a daily wear for pretty much the first year I had it.

Unfortunately it doesn't see as much wear with the IHJ 54 and 35 being very heavy in my rotation this last year, but I still love this jacket.

No soaks or washes and I'm likely to keep it that way…

Your jacket also look great @twin and it looks like wicked fit to boot

Thank you @den1mhead  I am wearing this jacket a lot lately.

@twin it seems that everything you wear fits you perfectly, really impressive and very inspirational. Your fades are absurdly nice as well.

^ Yup @twin OWNs the 526L IMHO

[twin]

Thank you both @Crit_Obs  @zatenm  I am loving this IH. jacket.

@twin
Now the vertical fades have developed and do people approach you asking questions about the jacket?  It looks terrific.

[twin]

Not so far. Not many IH. people around here @piranha

Great evo!

[twin]

Thank you @jdl1279  This jacket is getting a lot of wear & tear.

Hi All, I've got a question on living with this 19oz. LHT, I'm sure this is common knowledge to most here, and I actually can't seem to find much that specifically answers this for me (though I'm sure I overlooked it somewhere…):

My large 526L is new and stiff(!), and I'd like to soften it up without any additional shrinkage.  I know you'll all advise just wearing the hell out of it, but I'd like to cheat and make it a little more livable in the short term.  I'm on the fence about it being too small, but the sleeves fit well and I'm afraid going up to an XL will make them too long.  All other dimensions will be fine if no more shrinkage.

Should I be cold soaking it?  If so, how long?  Will this get me there or should I just suck it up and don the armor?
