      I like this jacket a lot, so here's a comparison of what it looks like now after 4.5 months quite hard use.  Definitely improving with age.

        Great.  Thanks.

          The 101J doesn't get the love it deserves.  Now 8 months in and looking better all the time:

            Nice! The raw 18 oz denim never disappoints and it's such a shame it is endangered.

                I love it and have never picked one up in either colour. Massive 1st world problem, but I just have too many denim jackets already [emoji53]

                  The 101J seemed to need a lot more effort than the 526J to get to looking pretty reasonable as it does now, but 8 months is nothing in the scale of things.  I only have 2 indigo denim jackets, but also a few other jeans jackets which also need to get worn occasionally.  Choices, choices… 🙂

                    Damn, now I regret selling mine. A pity the sizing didn't work out for me.

                          I'm curious whether these are going to be rerun or no chance and the 18 oz raw denim is going to be retired completely?

                              I'm surprised this didn't seem to sell too well, as it's such an iconic look.  I guess the lack of hip pockets puts a lot off here, but I don't think they'd work with this style.  Luckily I only use a card holder as a wallet and if I take a phone, it goes in the shirt pocket.

                              Also, the lack of fade pics can't have helped, so I'm going to keep battering this and will update in December after a year, just to show what's possible.

                                Looking beautiful.

                                I can't explain why this wouldn't fly off the shelves. I already have a vintage model of the original or I'd have copped.

                                I'd love an IH storm rider (added corduroy collar and horse blanket liner).

                                Think it, be it.

                                  Yeah, I'd go for a storm rider too.

                                    Agreed, although I could go either way with the blanket lining.  The corduroy collar is dope though.

                                      I wouldn't think twice if just one more L was available. Kills me that the difference between an M and L is so drastic 'cause these jackets are absolutely stunning. It's got many wonderful touches, like the angled cuffs.

                                      I guess I'll just have to wait for the Storm Rider. 🙂

                                        If you like black denim, you can have a look at its black counterpart: IH-101J-BLK.

                                          Here's the final result of my 1-year hard wear exercise.  I'm very happy with it and now feel that I can work on my 526J for a while.

                                          And now compared to 1 year ago…
