IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo

@Luijim78 thanks for the post. Did you get the same size in both jackets? I'm leaning towards the Lefty, but a bit worried on sizing it correctly because it shrinks.

[Luijim78]

@jpvisual there is not much shrinkage more than anything it adjusts to your body with a warm soak, however as you may have noticed it is already slightly wider and longer in the corresponding size compared to the 526pj. Get your usual size and you will have no problems in my opinion

@coffeetv did you ever pick up a 526L? If so, how do you like it compared to the 526PJ?

[jpvisual]

@Luijim78 ok thanks, this is helpful!

@Yoprst LAYERS!

@Yoprst absolutely love this!

Curious as to how the horizon fade lines above the middle buttons of the jacket came from?

[Giles]

It is where the handwarmer pocket lining is sewn into the placket. You can also see it at the side seams......

Which is one of the reasons we offer non-pocketed versions, as some people can't deal with that......

[T4920]

The more I see photos of broken in 526s, the more I want one instead of the Indigo Lefty as my next denim jacket...

It might even be enjoyable to have something comfortable and soft for change...

@Luijim78 Question for you: when you say the 526PJ is more difficult to dissolve, do you mean that it's harder to fade than the Lefty? Just was curious.

[T4920]

@Nostradamion softer fabric means less pronounced creases. Generally this will produce more subtle/vintage fades as there is less consistent abrasion upon the areas of the fabric most prone to wear.

@T4920 Yep me too, I am getting one after having put it off for years now

[Luijim78]

@Nostradamion exactly, as Tom(T4920) wrote perfectly it is a little more tenacious in the fades and with less contrast even if I have seen evolutions of this jacket that have nothing to envy to the 19oz left-handed fabric.

[SKT]

@T4920 with you here. This will be my next type 3 for sure

[Nostradamion]

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like this model is sold out, so hopefully it will make a reappearance this spring sometime.

@Nostradamion Hey man,

Awesome to hear that you want to get your hands on the 526PJ.

It looks like we should be getting some back in around April / May time.

[Nostradamion]

@Freeman Yeah, I’m also going to either get the indigo Lefty or the OD Lefty so I can see for myself what all the hype is about. Hoping those get released soon.
