IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker

[dcg]

I know the pockets are a source of contention, but add me to the list of people who love them.  My favorite part is how they're stitched to also form an internal pocket - I don't think this fact gets enough love.  Non-contrast stitching has been suggested as an option to appease both sides, and I think that'd be a good idea for future releases.

Also, I hate that we're nearing summer and it's too warm to wear this jacket.  Summer is surely the worst of the seasons.

@Giles - any chance we'll see longer sleeve/body type IIIs in other fabrics?  Perhaps an OD/black or a duck?

[Giles]

Possibly, but not on the near horizon….

I'm actually wondering if I should have gone with XXL.

This looks perfect!!! Excellent post!!! Was this stiffer after hot soak? Thanks

Thanks!  A bit stiffer after the soak.  Overall, not as stiff (or difficult to button) as I was expecting based on the comments in this thread.  Although the second button from the bottom was a bit of a challenge, and in fairness, my g/f took one look at it and the first thing she said was "that jacket cannot be comfortable".

I do have the IHSH-08SBG, a pair of the SRAW, and some Samurai 24 oz 510s, so maybe I'm just getting used to the ultra heavy/stiff/hard to button stuff.

Thanks, last year I bought XXL and to make it softer soaked and dried in dryer, later when I measured it was almost like L now waiting for second run, probably go with XXXL and do exactly what you did here to make it XXL!!!
Is that ok if I ask you your height, just trying to understand the length of this jacket!! Thanks again!!!

6', 170 lbs, longish torso, really long arms (~35.5")

I'm hoping to resist…

[Giles]

I had not left instructions for which of the jackets were ours and which were for retailers.  Matt erred on the side of caution when updating our online stock.  I think we will be adding some more shortly.

Oh dear god (or Giles), I want this jacket so bad…why oh why I had to start read this and watching pics..
This is exactly what I have been hoping for, a little bit longer and heavier than most of the denim jackets

Just wrong timing..
...Maybe if I eat cereals rest of the month....hmmm

[Giles]

OK everybody.  Numbers are now accurate…...

You can always eat cereals wearing a cool jacket..

Thanks, mate :)! Been waiting 6 months for this jacket and now this… My budget has already been planned for this month, so I hope there will be one left for me at the end of May and I can finally grab one. Fingers crossed.
