IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

[going_to_battle]

The fit looks spot on, @cooldude_abe

Did you have second thoughts about the fit upon receiving it? I can't see anything wrong with it at all.

By the way, what jeans are those? 555?

[cooldude_abe]

Thanks, I didn't have second thoughts initially. It's just that the jacket feels pretty soft now, and I like the broken-in fit and look better.

The jeans in the photo are 777-XHS. I might have to stock up another pair of XHS before the price changes on Monday. That will be my only excuse. 

Thanks.

That is an excellent point, @cooldude_abe ! Couldn't have said it better myself. Second thoughts rarely come initially, if ever, but rather exclusively arrive after you've already had your first thoughts.   

That's my input for the day.  I'm out.

Back last year in August I got one, underestimate the sizing…
return it back...
The plan was 22oz overdyed to buy instead gonna leave that one
Now gives it another go, went 2 size up finally fits me..

Hi everyone - IH crew.  I am sure it can be found somewhere but I have not stumbled upon it yet. Can some one or any of you good people describe the differences with the 22oz Selvedge Denim Overdyed Indigo VS this 19oz Left-Hand OD Denim in terms or texture, feel, etc, and fading properties?

[Kasi]

@neph93 can answer that

@Kasi  yes I can. I have had two legs of the tour with the IH-526j-19L-OD and I own the IH-526-22OD.

The 22oz has is a heavy matte black to start with. Very inky. It has a smooth even hand like the source denim does, except the OD makes it more so as it tightens the weave considerably. It fades very nicely, noticable patterns appearing after only a few wears. It is heavy but not too stiff and softens very quickly. It is early days on mine yet but it looks like it will go from black to indigo to grey/white, retaining a little of each.

The 19oz has a more rugged, crosshatch weave pattern, and starts off stiff. It does soften nicely but takes a while. It fades witj great contrast but doesn’t retain as much indigo, seeming to go from black, quite quickly to white in high abrasion areas.

Obviously the fit is different between the two but seeing as you didn’t ask, I guess you know that.

Except I think SE now have an exclusive OD 22oz in the modified cut.

[Kasi]

SE Yes they do….

[gniquil]

And yeah… is there a place to talk about that jacket? It's so love at first sight. And I actually got compliments via zoom by my coworkers.

We don’t make threads for SE exclusive stuff as a matter of course, but we can do if there is demand. It’ll get on to it later and send you a link.

[gniquil]

No problem. Btw, can I still shrink the 22od with a hot soak? Due to my chest and shoulder, I had to pick up a xxxl. But i feel the length is perhaps just a tad bit too long.

Oh and another thing that's amazing about the 22oz is that corduroy quality. Coupled with that armor like stiffness, this jacket is so out of this world.

That patch is the shizz

Nope. The overdying process takes all the shrinkage out.

@gniquil:

Zero chance  I am afraid.  The over-dyeing process is far more aggressive than the hottest, most vigorous soak wash that anyone will be able to do at home…..

[Kasi]

Shrink it, little big…  but it overdyed how would that work it all took out..

There’s a way around it eat more make it fit...

[gniquil]

Ok. I mean this is more than fine. If I really wanna go for that cropped look, I can always get the other 22od version ;).

As for eat more… I wish there was something I can eat to make me go taller. :p

I guess if there's any complaint about ironheart, is that I wish they offer a slightly more athletic built. For most tops, I need to go xxl to fit the shoulder and chest. But this always feels like making the mid section a bit too billowy and sleeves too long.

But then weird/magical thing is, and the reason I kept buying more of the brand, in pictures, everything still look great.
