@AdamJ Bloody awesome

From the above photo it still looks black to me. It looks fantastic and how I'd want a worn black jacket to look. It's difficult to tell from photos though. I see other photos of this jacket in the sun and it looks dark blue when faded. I've been looking at the SBG and non fade superblack as well. I'd probably go for the superblack non fade, but I'm reading too many differing opinions here on the breaking in of the fabric (or never breaking in), shorter sleeve measurements compared to the rest of the type 3s, etc. The LOD is my second pick and there is something about that left hand twill that seems to make a great fit. SBG is tempting, but I don't want a light grey jacket down the road.

@jpvisual the SBG denim will fade to grey, eventually, but it will take a long, long time. These are jeans that are really well worn, still black, but lots of grey. Would take a hell of a lot of wear to do the same to a jacket.

@Alex thanks! The photos are helpful. Is the SBG listed on your site right now the old version and cut or the new slimmer updated cut?

@jpvisual here's mine today, after two years of casual wear and three washes.

I think the picture captures an accurate representation of its current colour.

@T4920 your jacket is looking amazing buddy, lot of progress there!

@T4920 awesome jacket fades buddy

@T4920 thanks for posting this photo! Your jacket looks great! I really dig that 19oz left hand twill fabric. I would have to say after some good wear this jacket certainly looks more blue. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm wanting a straight up black denim jacket. I would say if Iron Heart makes a straight up black (no OD) type 3 in 19oz left hand twill, that would be the black denim jacket to rule them all.

@T4920 looks awesome man!! That's the one I'm after; just need patience I guess. Hopefully this spring I'll finally be able to join the ever elusive "Iron Heart Lefty" club!!

[T4920]

@Nostradamion cheers man! As much as I also want to regular indigo version, I'm aiming to wear this one for a decade and really break it in before starting over with a new one.

I know the jacket is built for the challenge, but I'm not sure my discipline is...

@T4920 This one is really developing fantastically. Really love the current colour tone

[jpvisual]

@Luijim78 what's your favorite out of all those and the one you wear most?

[Luijim78]

@jpvisual I try to wear a bit of everything but my favorite is definitely the Lefty indigo, the stiffest and crunchiest because I love its consistency.

[jpvisual]

@Luijim78 thanks. Yeah pretty much decided on that. I plan to live in that one for a year before I get a second. We'll see how that goes

@tody Around March if you're wondering

Hey @AdamJ are these still on track for a restock sometime in March?

I sold my 19 oz Lefty last year due to being so uncomfortable. I got the sizing correct, but it was just miserable to wear. Mind you, I own about 5 or 6 IH type 3s with different weights/fabrics, but I just couldn't get past the rigidness of that material. Knowing that the OD process softens the material quite a bit, how much "softer" and pliable is this piece compared to the standard Lefty? For reference, my favorite type 3 is the 21oz Indigo, which is a fantastic piece.

To add: I'm wearing my 21oz 777-ODs currently and they have been great this week, so I am familiar with the OD softness, just unsure if that softness translates over to the Lefty.
