This CPO is definitely a top 3 IH product for me. Just keeps getting better and better.

These UHRs have finally softened up. They aren’t like my sweatpant-y 21 oz, but very comfy nonetheless.

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

My UHRs, worn basically every day since August 1, 2025. Couple washes.

@worn2fade - check out the back of the left leg fade. I’m 6ft tall but all torso (29.5 inch inseam). Been a ridiculously snowy winter in NY and I drive a Bronco with pretty big tires. That fade is from my leg leg sliding against the salty door jamb as I “fall” out of the car with my baby legs. I think that’s why it’s kind of green, from the road salt.

First couple are brand new out of the box. Next are post 2 soaks with a t shirt underneath and the last are post 2 soak with a UHF underneath.

Still a bit damp but wow are these jeans crunchy. RIP thumbs

@Yoprst You really take the best close up photos.

A nice byproduct of the new 888 IB is I am wearing my IH 292 much more often. I am big fan of double denim but tend to like the contrast DD look.

Looking amazing Setanta. Here’s mine a couple weeks in. Been wearing every day and it’s starting to get a little less crunchy. Here with IH-33 and 888 ducks.

Just got mine today. Loving it. Way darker in person than the photos, it looks almost black.

I was nervous about the smaller than typical chest measurement for an XL but the guys found me a slightly bigger one.

Photos with a thermal underneath.

Loving this one though. It definitely feels a bit softer than the western.

Just crossed the 6 month mark with these. Initial soak, couple machine washes.

Hi everyone. Longtime forum lurker, finally decided to contribute. I figured I should make myself useful and try to add some value to the forum for my first post so here goes...this jacket has been on my grail list for a long time but couldn't get my head around how to size given the shrink factor. I wear XL in every IH shirt I own but always have to ask the amazing IH team for the longest body and sleeve XL in stock. That's what drew me to this jacket - the extra body length. Traditional type 3s are just so short on me that I can't get comfortable in them. So after much hemming and hawing I went for an XL and am very pleased with the results. Here are original measurements and post 1 warm soak and post a second warm soak a few days later:

Shoulder: 19.8 -> 19.2 -> 19.0
Chest: 22.6. -> 22.3 -> 22.2
Sleeve: 27.9 -> 27.0 -> 26.8
Waist: 21.1 - > 21.0 -> 21.0
Length: 27.8 -> 27 -> 26.8

I will upload some photos shortly
