IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

@Zilaz1 my washing machine didn’t have a numbers option my friend it just says cold, warm or hot. I went warm. On the IH description of the jacket it says to wash it in 30Celsius/86F.

[Zilaz1]

@worn2fade thanks mate, will give it a go

[goosehd]

@Zilaz1 Please pre soak your jacket first and turn it inside out. After the jacket is thoroughly wetted then you can put into the washing machine to wash. This is done to prevent marbling.

[Zilaz1]

@goosehd soaked it last night so was mildly damp,
Is now on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees
Hopefully it doesn’t marble

[goosehd]

@Zilaz1 hope so too.

@FlavourFade I can but it’s a tight fit.
Sorry for the late reply.

About a month in and the creases are setting very quickly.

[freepickin]

@Davids_denim oh damn amazing progress so far!

[Davids_denim]

@freepickin Thanks!

[Salted Racer]

looks great--i think this is my fave type III on the planet!

[Davids_denim]

@Salted-Racer yeah I’m beginning to understand why people say this. It’s quite an impressive denim.

[Davids_denim]

Another month another update. She’s certainly a fast fader.

[Mizmazzle]

@Davids_denim how you enjoying the ride so far?

[Davids_denim]

@Mizmazzle I love it! No regrets at all.
She’s certainly a beast.

[Mizmazzle]

@Davids_denim yeah dude! Lefty has a way of consuming you to the point of obsession. Like, who’s going to win? Me or the jacket??

[Davids_denim]

@Mizmazzle Funny you say that, Moby Dick has certainly come to my mind.

[jebrand]

@Davids_denim I kind of regret not going with the Lefty for this year's Rally. I chickened out thinking about the Arizona summer. Maybe the next one depending on how things go this time around.

[Larkens]

@jebrand it’s no joke in warmer weather, but man is it rewarding to wear!

[Davids_denim]

@jebrand yeah, Iowa here. I made a rule last year that I wouldn’t do anything very heavy and then this dropped and I immediately ditched that logic and grabbed this. Summer is gonna be rough.

You got this bro. I was hammering mine in 90 degree weather. I also had a 12oz western underneath it with a t shirt.

Does it suck? Sometimes. But do you feel like a badass? Always.
