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

[Adman103]

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!

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

Unsanforized…

Unsanforized but one-washed….

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

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…

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

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….

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.
