This week's restock vid:

@SKT It's a winner - my fav of this season's flannels, for sure!

Yep, I'm wearing a heavyweight flannel in the middle of the UK summer heatwave

@tody I tend to script it in my head as I go along – press record, have a few stabs at what I want to say, and then edit out all the times I mess it up!

I wouldn’t say I’m a natural in front of the camera, but I’ve made enough vids in my time to know how to make it look like I know what I’m doing

The video I mentioned earlier is now live on YouTube, might be helpful if anyone needs more shrinkage reference before pulling the trigger:

I know he's shorter than you @Alex, but I'm not sure this will stop @AdamJ from escaping...

If this is helpful to anyone, I'm putting together a little vid to demonstrate the shrinkage. That should be live over the weekend, but for now, here are a couple of screenshots showing before/after soaking and washing, using the jacket from the shrink test Alex posted above.

I'm 5'8" and usually wear a size L in our Type III. Straight off the rack, the L is pretty big and tent-like on me, but post-soak and washing the fit is much better. I'd say the shrink test jacket fits about the same as the overdyed version (which is pre-shrunk due to the overdyeing process), but a little bigger than my old 14oz Type III (which has been washed a few times).

As with all our denim, I'd expect the fit to only improve over time as the fabric softens and the arm creases set in. Of course, it's going to be a personal preference - but if I were planning on picking one up, I'd stick to my usual size L and wouldn't size up or down. Trust the soak process!

Just over 3 months in — starting to see a nice patina developing on the leather and buckle, along with indigo crocking on the reverse...

@Chibs 189 & 666D — the "Duxedo"

@Chibs Looks like the 666D is due to arrive around the same time, late-August/September. As usual, this is only a best guess, I wouldn't take that as gospel as production schedules often get delayed - watch this space!

@Chibs Ha ha, not this week, and you might be waiting a little while for those! Hopefully by the end of summer though

Congratulations @Mister_Brue and @denim-dawg — Iron Heart for the win! Amazing effort

Back in the Gosport studio for this week's new drops and restocks video — 14oz indigo/black selvedge denim western shirts and 11oz heavyweight tees will be online on Friday:

Today's filming fit — although it's an absolute sweatbox in the studio today, so I'll be back in the jorts as soon as the camera stops rolling!

As promised, here's a little timelapse vid to document my IHJ-122 fade journey — 365 days of fades condensed into 30 seconds!

@GTPowers Thanks! I'm far from done with the jacket, so still hoping to see some more evo as part of my rotation — just gonna be nice to have some more wardrobe options again.

...and with that, a year in my IHJ-122 is over! Final submissions are in, apologies in advance for the photo dump.

It's been a blast, but I'm definitely looking forward to being able to wear something else now
