Great jacket looking forward for the final version

I've read that LHT has a bit softer feel to it, but the original post implied this stuff was pretty tough-  is this going to end up as a stiffer denim, or softer?  How does it compare to the 18 oz?  Thank you!

[Giles]

It is much stiffer than the 21 or the 18.  No idea how it will end up (and therein lies the beauty)….

Unsanforized…

[Giles]

Unsanforized but one-washed….

[davito]

Sounds very nice, i am sure this will turn out great

[CLJ]

It will end up being awesome. Can't wait!

Nice!  IMO, with denim, the stiffer the better!

That's what she said… (I couldn't help myself...)

[Adman103]

Yea, I knew that was gonna happen…

[Nerkg]

I wish they weren't one washed. Loom state, and crisper the better

[mclaincausey]

Especially with a jacket where wear is less of an issue, but I can see both sides I suppose.

Look people, I released the IH-526BJ in raw 18oz.  I thought it would fly off the shelves, it was a slow seller and in the end I had to reduce it to get rid of them.

I don't need to get into the discussions as why this happened, it is fact.  And given that I try to learn from my mistakes, the 526L will be be one-washed.

Love the sound of the longer body! Not so into the traditional shorter length anymore.

[Scottystyles]

But I guess unsanforized she's gonna shrink in length anyway..

[Giles]

Not much, as we are one-washing it….

[seanocono]

Personally, I think unsanforized, one-washed hits the sweet spot. No real sizing issues and we still get the denim we are looking for. I'm very curious to see how this turns out. I have a feeling that this is going to be the fastest selling denim jacket of the IH lineup.

@Giles:

I do have another denim jacket in the works.  Not saying anything about it until I have seen the first sample…....

still super stocked on what this will going to be in the end!

I've got no problem with one washed. I would just have to soak it anyway, don't mind if G does it for me.
