Yes, overdyed things are always a couple of weeks behind their indigo brothers, because of the extra process…
Thx Giles. I’m still learning [emoji4]
I’ll wait for the OD then.

Oh boy, been waiting for this drop since @Alex showed me at last year's London pop up shop. It's a thing of beauty in the hand.

@Chesson
Do they really have side pockets??? Can’t see them

Thank you Giles! -
Beautiful denim, but my usual XXL is a bit snug, so need to try an XXXL as this is a pretty slim fitting type III. There's no pleasing me sometimes.

Given the nature of the weave, I'm wondering about the breathability and mechanical stretch of this denim?

I am fairly new to the denim world and learning a lot from you guys so far! My 20th Anniversary UHF is arriving today and I currently have an unworn IH 14oz Indigo Type III (purchased at a local shop) that still has the tags attached and I am seriously considering swapping it for this 16oz Slubby version. The texture of the denim looks really amazing on this version, but can anyone help me understand the difference in overall feel of the fabric on the Slubby version? Does the wavy appearance give it a softer hand? What are the unique fade characteristics of the 16oz Slubby denim? Is the fit pretty much the same? Thanks!

@SaddleSC I have a 14oz overdyed type III and am now the proud owner of this jacket too.
1st comparisons are that the 16oz slub is soft in that is more maliable when worn…it feels coarser to the touch because the loom chatter causes the uneven texture. The 14oz is 'smooth' to the touch, it is also slightly more rigid (but not uncomfortable!) when worn.
I think the 16oz slub looks like it could give up some quite unique fading in time, but will take a bit of wear to get there.
It feels very breathable to me, much more so than the 14oz.
I am usually an xxl in IH type III, but had to size up to XXXL in the 16oz. It fits great, I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow.

Thanks so much for the great info! I look forward to seeing some pics when you get a chance:)

Looks great! I'm pleased about the length on the medium. Can't justify this as I have the regular indigo type III already, if there's ever a black/cream version in the future I'd pick that up.
I have the 16oz slubby jeans and the material is quite nice! If you are on the fence but interested in the texture, I'd say go for it!

I'm surprised Olly doesn't wear an XL for this one
