I had always had an interest in getting one of these jackets. Unfortunately the last time they dropped I did not act quickly enough. But as with SB denim itself, the interest did not fade with time. I scoured IH retailers, eBay, Grailed, Vinted, you name it in search of one of these bad boys for a long while. With the fabric being discontinued, eventually I began to think the chances were next to none.

Last week, I saw one in XXL in the RE:LOVE listings. I immediately bought it and it arrived today.

All I can say is wow. It was worth the wait. It's my third IH type 3 and as usual opening it felt like it was Christmas morning. It's one hell of a piece and I look forward to beating this thing up for years to come. Whoever it was that decided to part ways with the jacket, I got it from here...thank you for your service.

Some things I would buy if IH made them:

• Indigo sashiko jackets (type III especially)
• Duck canvas pants in other colors than just the brown (army green especially)
• Oiled or waxed canvas jackets - unlined or with lighter weight (e.g. flannel) lining

my 33s arrived, as usual I’m blown away (lucky pair #7), so worth the wait!

Obvious differences in fading aside, how does this jacket/denim compare to the SBG? Is it stiffer and heavier feeling?

@wjw or oiled whipcord w lighter liner. I actually quite like the dry, soft feeling of the oiled fabrics as compared to traditional waxed canvas
