IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
Has anyone hot soaked this yet? Curious about shrinkage.
-
I hot soaked mine and pretty much got the .5 inch of shrink that @Giles put in the description
-
Just bought a XXL on a trip to rivet and hide. Shoulders are a little boxy at the moment but they will drop with wear and a soak. Other than that fits like a dream. Sleeves are a good length too. Not quite as long as my 17oz natural indigo type III, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. All in all a beautiful jacket. Very happy.

Great buy @Stuart.T I've always coveted this but the modified type III's are not for my body type. Love to see a fit pic:)
Really happy with this jacket. Wore it last night and today so I'll give it a soak this week and hopefully put some fit pics up after 1 soak. The combination of slightly longer body (doesn't ride up when I sit down/drive) and slightly shorter sleeve than some IH type III make this pretty perfect for me.]

That's what puts me off pulling the trigger. The shoulders look absolutely huge. I'm not the sort of person who wears the same jacket everyday too, simply as i own so many great jackets. so not really sure theer's much point in me buying it. Looks like it's designed to be worn everyday for a few years in order to get the full aesthetic & fit.

Soaked today for 1hr at 30 degree in bath. I'm leaving it out over night to dry. Definitely some shrinkage. I just put it on damp to stretch it where needed. I think the shoulders have calmed a bit! Chest and waist ok, I'm hoping the 'problem midriff will be ok too.

@Stuart.T I was able to shrink my size Large to a Medium with very hot water and lots of agitation, FYI.

it worked out perfectly. Wore it today and it feels great. needs to wear and soften a bit. It shrunk in all the right places. Sleeves are perfect, but the body length didn't shrink to0 much, which was great for me too! really happy.
I'll try and upload some fir picks if my wife will take them!

Finally a fit pic

And one more. I know some frown on matching double denim, but I love it. Blame the rock n roll.
-
Looks awesome!

Thanks dude. I love this combo 21oz 888s and 19oz lefty. Theyve both softened brilliantly but steel feel like im wearing something of substantial quality. I used to wear other brands but since finding IH ive just been addicted!
