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.

I need some sizing advice here from the shop and maybe some owners too. I’m 6 feet, 195 pounds with a muscular build. I actually have the Overdye version of this jacket in XXXL but I’d like to get the indigo one too. The OD jacket fits me definitely on the roomy side with plenty of room to layer. And the XXXL OD matches closely in specs with the XXL in this jacket (which tracks as OD garments are pre-shrunk). It does seem like I could probably squeeze in the XL but the consensus here seems to be this jacket fits on the slim side. Wyd fam?

Had my hopes dashed for one of these recently, retailer said they had my size, as it turns out they did not. Is there any hope of a restock in the near future?

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

oof yeah this is a tough call between 33 and 34, all my 888 indigos (14,16,21 oz) are 33s but the 888S-21ODs and 888D’s I have in 34. leaning towards 33 but it’s measuring tape time

@Ross should this say 15:00 BST and not UTC?

oh shiiit

Cheers @AdamJ

been waiting on these for so long 🥲… I shoulda picked them up when I last had the chance in 2024

I need dis

argh

Did I see correctly on IG these are dropping this week?

still waiting…

Gonna pick up a pair of these when they drop, but I’m torn on sizing.

In the indigo pairs of 888s I have, I wear a 33 (14 oz, 16 oz, 21 oz). In the 21 oz overdyes I wear a 34 as they’re pre shrunk. And I also wear a 34 in the 888Ds.

Any help from someone who might know? @ShopatIronHeart

too funny. I’m still stewing over here at what size I might be. I’m 6’0 190 lbs with muscular frame, think I’m an XL based on the specs but hard to decide

@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

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

looks incredible @mudhogen

@Alex are these going to self edge? I’m going to be in NY next week

show me some fit pics!
