IH-526-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)
-
@denimeric, thanks! It's one hell of a jacket.. I've been beating the shit out of it for months now. Wore it everyday this summer at the Good Art foundry. Worth it. Still can't get all the silver flakes out but I really shouldn't complain. TBH I'm going to buy another one of these because 1) this is by far my favorite denim jacket and 2) I feel like I really messed up the cuffs (a bunch of water and silver changed the look.)

@GoBruins seeing your jacket makes me lust after a vest in the SBG fabric!

@denimeric, Thanks, Keep wearing it
It gets better every month!@Allisnoise, That would be awesome! Personally I love anything in the SBG fabric

Yes, Toms schedule says will complete middle March….
Good news. Spring is flirting with me and I tried on my od type III, my 17oz first zip and my duck type II for the first time since September last year. They're all too big for me
️This may be the answer. -
I'm looking to get this jacket in an xxl and have a 526 17oz natural indigo type III in a size xxl. My concern is the arm length. My 526 arms hang over my hand to the first knuckles. I usually cuff them back but ideally wouldn't have to. Anyone got this issue with this 526 sbg?

Measure your jacket and compare with site measurements. IH jackets are generally longish in the sleeves as H makes them with bikers in mind. Long sleeves means no chilly wrists when riding. Also the world appears to be divided into gorillas and t-rex's. You may want to work out which one you are (I'm a t-rex and cuff most everything).

I think I just bought me an xxxl of this beautiful jacket. Want it as a jacket with layering abilities. The XXL would have worked, but wanted a little extra. Can't wait till Thurs or Friday when it comes

I think the sbg will have a similar fit. I don't have an issue with any other brand when it comes to arm length, that said, very few if any come close to the feel and quality of IH. I can wear a hoodie under my current 526 and my biker leather over it so will just bite the bullet and go for the same size.

I know this has been sanforised, but anyone get any shrinkage if desired? I believe mine will be here tomorrow
but I'm case it it skigtly too large, wanted hope in a super hot bath and hot dry slight shrinkage -
I tried shrinking the arms only in the hottest bath possible a couple of times, with no noticeable success. Now I just turn the cuffs up when buttoned and that solved that problem.
It's a great jacket and I'm seeing slight evo now, so might give it a wash to see if that adds to it.
-
My experience is, that you Need a machine wash (Agitation) at hot temperatures to achieve shrinkage. But of course that means shrinkage everywhere, not just in the arms. And might also cause some weird washing lines, as I think SBG denim is quite sensitive to that.
