Has the body length shortened up also?

beef_bonanza

@bobbyg not really as the shortening on the sleeve is due to folding of the elbow combs and there is no permanent folds in the core area

Right on, I kind of figured it was just from the sleeve creases.
Still going back and forth on this model. I tried one on and the fit was so perfect but I’m kind of holding out for the 526LOD.. I’m covered for 14oz indigo and want a black jacket, and want to try a heavyweight
I’m sure I’d be happy with it but could see myself buying the 526LOD if I get a chance and it’s similar enough to this model that I’m not sure I’d rock both enough to justify it decisions, decisions.

Finally some signs of wear. At least in the right lightning. This jacket seems underrated and I am curious to see how it is finally looking heavily faded.

@beef_bonanza looks great ```

Little update. Definitely a very slow fader, but we are getting there. Promise!

Anyone else do this? I find myself doing this more and more

Cool - you are also on a forum where you can ask the same questions and get answers from the people that have (in a round about way) trained that AI...

@Alex True, kinda dumb I guess. Also not always reliable. But it has its merits.

Experiencing the differences first hand is even better

Is there any chance of IH making larger sizes ? I had a 4xl and had to move it on. I'm a 52" chest and it's so disappointing that I can't get one to fit me.

Almost two years in this beauty and it’s just now beginning to show some signs of wear. From a distance it still looks pretty black, but up close it’s been developing some nice light fades. It’s still one of the best purchases I’ve ever made!!

Some evo pics (paired with my new 666-21od for the full od tux):

@Asger-Ebdrup looking fantastic!

@Asger-Ebdrup This looks great and seems to behave very similar to mine. Fading very slowly but when it happens, the fades look great🩵
Here is mine. I‘ll try to wear it all winter.

@beef_bonanza
It looks incredible!

I find it still superhard to take accurate pictures of overdyed stuff. Today, during sunset however worked well.
Also my plan to wear it all winter is going great. I use it as a top layer above a woolen sweater and deck vest on milder days, with a down vest on top on colder ones and sometimes even instead of a shirt inside.
Hard to fade, but I feel, I have cracked the bonding of the black dye a bit by now.
