IH-526J-DD - Double Duck Type III Jacket

[DeeDee85]

@Raisinoux man, that looks incredible!

Thought I needed to revamp an old thread, but found it alive and well.
Here's me in a DD jacket in pristine (new, unworn?) condition. Not for me, though - @Oaktavia will get it and will give it the proper "Filthy" treatment.
It's a really interesting fabric, nothing I have from IH comes close.

[Oaktavia]

@tody yessss!!! Can't wait to have on me!!! Double duck suit!!! THANK YOU EUROHOMIE!

[Mister_Brue]

@tody @Oaktavia Awesome!

[yannis]

I have the DD pants. Awesome fabric

[sabergirl]

Can’t wait to see what @Oaktavia will do this fabric! It’s a beast, for sure.

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl I plan to give it the proper Filthy treatment, I quite like the terminology there.

It's a beast, for sure.

Stoked to hear this, and I read in older posts it may be attributed to the indigo dying that bulks it up?

[yannis]

It fades fairly quickly @Oaktavia.

I also learned this from reading up through this thread. I also have a pair of DD pants they have been on ice. This jacket though, I think will melt any ice to water, it's SHIT HOT!

[yannis]

I can imagine. The pants are pretty stiff also specially after a fresh wash. The jacket is probably gnarly

[sabergirl]

It’s the stiffest crispiest fabric I’ve ever worn. This stuff is nutball

@Oaktavia Awesome that you were able to find one! Like new, no less.

This one and the IH-X526J are top on my most wanted list.

(Still hoping for a return of these some day. Personally I think many of the items that weren't great sellers back in the day would do much better now. That said, hard to fault people for going with guaranteed sellers over potential flops ).

IH-X526J

Dang. I did not know such a thing existed. One for the wanted list, just like the 25oz vest...

[sabergirl]

Yeah the black duck type III would be glorious.

[JunkPants]

@tody So many cool pieces from before my time here that keeps popping up.

I am so happy to have one coming my way. It's all thanks to @Raisinoux for the tip off. Like new makes it even better but I would have been happy to have one in any condition. This is an IH fever dream come reality.

I also had no idea about the IH-X526J. I know what forum rabbit home I'm headed down this evening.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia Congrats, such a cool find. Hats off to @Raisinoux

Will be great to follow along as you take it through its paces.

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants part of me wants to hold off wearing it but I don't think I'll be able to

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia I say go for it!

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants likely...watch this space.
