IH-526J-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo/Black

[Phil_NYC]

I think one of my first posts after getting this jacket was how surprised I was at the lack of indigo bleed. Well, I was totally wrong about that. I guess all it needed was being trapped in a rainstorm without an umbrella. Already getting nice electric blue fades on the arms. Absolutely loving this jacket. Here it is over a hickory CPO and 888 UHRs

@Phil_NYC ooooh yeah that is looking sick already. One of the best if not the best lighter weight options IH has to offer imo.

That's how my new IH-526J-142ib fits me. What would you say?

Please guys stop posting cool pictures of this oh-so-cool jacket, I need to fade my 21oz first

Very nice fit man

@Yoprst perfect!

For those that recently made a purchased, did you size up or keep your normal size?

[Gavin666]

@michael.rose0107 normal but mine was from the previous run

I had mine for a month and a half now; I used the same measurements chart that came out witht this run, and it looks fine.
Sleeves are a bit longer than I want; I soaked them in hot water twice, but they did not shrink at all, at least this is what I feel.

They fit me well all around.

Look how the sleeves stack:

I took my normal IH size but asked the guys to find me an XL with a wider than listed chest measurement.

Welp, I caved

And not only did I buy this jacket, but I also bought the 14oz denim pants

Indigo Black suit incoming

[Gavin666]

My best fitting type 3 and my favourite. Four washes in

[cb09]

@Gavin666 Looks great, how long did you wait before the first wash?

[Conan]

@Gavin666 Awesome evo! This is also my best fitting Type 3, but I haven’t washed mine yet. Did you experience any shrinking in the sleeves or length after washing yours?

[Slash]

IB suit incoming

Color is awesome and fit is exactly what I wanted, slightly longer than my 21oz to match other clothes length

[Gavin666]

@cb09 a couple of months or so

[Gavin666]

@Conan not that I noticed. If it did it was negligible

[Phil_NYC]

Couple months old now, no washes or soaks

[Oaktavia]

@Phil_NYC that's what's up, nice photo nice fades.

I wore this yesterday evening at a party, and got some nice compliments from friends from a group.
People were intrigued by the color, and nobody typed this jacket immediately as "denim/jeans".

Maybe - even high probably - against the grain from the forum, but I'm really not in any hurry to have this one fading, it's so dressed up on a shirt with this nice deep color

Sorry if its an heresy, but I demand a "super_indigo_black" jacket ! Yes one that doesn't fade
Heck ! Going to the "What do you think we should make" page right after
