IH-526-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)
-
There’s a big difference between the sbg and the superblack. Sbg is muuuuch more forgiving. Superblack denim is like armor for the first two years—even if you wash all the time. My 9301s (superblack jeans) have been around for over 10 years, and they didn’t get soft until like year 3. And I always wash/machine dry.

Time for an update. I've been wearing this a lot recently and it's now starting to show quite a bit more grey. It'll only get better. I sold my two ODs and kept this, so it must be doing something right.

Beautiful and enjoy fading this one , I missed out on this one because the sleeve length was too much for me .

From the other SBG Type III thread...

Some bad news for the fans of red Ws - despite the sample having a red one, and us requesting that the production run keeps that, the factory got confused and moved the red W back to black (as it was on the original IH-526-SBG). Clearly, it's not worth the cost and environmental impact to send these all the way back to Japan to be restitched, so we will have to live with the black W on this run, and adjust on future runs...
Sorry guys
OK, So more bad news (for some) and good news for others. After some investigation, I have worked out why the red W was omitted...
Unfortunately, despite us specifically making a new sample (pictured in OP), requesting size changes from the previous jacket (IH-526-SBG), and adding the red W (per sample in OP), somewhere in Japan a mistake was made, and the old IH-526-SBG was rerun exactly as it was. This means that the run that has been recently delivered is not like the sample in the OP at all, and is infact just a rerun of this old product:
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/post/5191As such, I will lock this thread for a period of time. We will 'restock' the old jacket next week, but we will be pushing another run of this model, with the adjusted fit, red W etc through as fast as possible for those of you who prefer a longer body.
Sorry about this guys, but for those of you who like shorted T3s, and pockets, you may have hit gold...

Absolutely perfect in my case.
When the black W was first mentioned in the other thread I thought to myself "I hope this means the fit is also like the old one".

Is it me or are they a bit more narrow in chest and waist than other jackets?
-
Yes - the sizing is not 'good' that's why we tried to update it. It will work for some, it wont work for others
Edit - have you read my explanatory post a couple messages up? @FlavourFade

Yes I read it, but I thought it is just shorter and not all dimensions were that different. They won't work for me but I look forward to the updated one

I've been waiting for this for months, man, this hurts my heart.
what’s the estimated time frame for the longer version we were hoping for? In time for next winter?
