IH-526J-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo/Black

[Mizmazzle]

Haha I’ve justified myself into a rather splendid collection of jackets.

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Same, bro. I still have room in my closet for a couple more, I think.

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf maybe I can justify a few more jackets to my wife by building us a larger closet.

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Now you're talking! This is a pro move, my friend.

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf can’t build a new closet unless I have a solid 21oz SBG to do it in and protect myself from debris and the like

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Safety first!

[Oaktavia]

@seawolf happy to share and yes I believe we are all in the same denim boat.

[Tago Mago]

obviously, everything I buy fills a gaping hole in my soul wardrobe

[seawolf]

@Tago-Mago Here's hoping.

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia I was kind of in the same boat, minus the already existing jackets, when I bought my 14oz OD. I'm intrigued by the SBG, I'm just not sure I would get it to fade enough. So I'll just salivate over @weftyarn's pair of 888-SBGs and wait for them to be restocked

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago Oh right on that is cool to hear you had a similar predicament. I think i chose the 526J142ib because the denim is familiar and I know exactly what to expect with it too. How is your OD coming along?

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia pretty slow. I should have worn it more with just a t underneath. Not much in the way of progress so far. If it fades similar to my 33OD the fades will be more subtle but I actually figured that would make for a cool contrast when I wear it with more faded jeans

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia on a more general note, my fading pace is somewhere between leisurely and glacial, but that’s what I like about this whole process - in the end my denim will look unlike anyone else’s. Same goes for yours. It’s what you or I have „achieved“ by wearing our clothes, and that makes these clothes all the more special to me

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago Well put man for sure and I completely agree. We are all here doing the same thing by doing our own thing with the same clothes. OD jackets look amazing with faded bottoms for sure. I think this indigo/black jacket will too before it's faded much. A pair of faded UHR in particular I think will be killer paired with it.

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia I have no doubt that you will be living proof of that theory

[Oaktavia]

Fit pics with this beautiful jacket. This will now be my baseline for how Type 3s should fit me. It feels damn near perfect. Thanks to @Graham helping assure me that an XL was likely the best option.

[pechelman]

been waiting to see/hear how this size worked out for you @Oaktavia and it looks spot on!
Looking forward to see what you do with that as well.

What do you think of the 14oz ib? I can't recall if you already had something in this fabric or if it was your first piece?

[Oaktavia]

@pechelman it fits like a glove man. I like that it is shorter too. I prefer to tuck my tshirts in most of the time. I have the western version of this jacket with about 180 wears from a few years ago. I ordered it right when it dropped. I pulled it out of my closet the other day. I'll take photos and post them side by side sometime soon.

@Oaktavia it fits you like a glove my friend , it's a gorgeous jacket and as usual seeing it on you made me want to take it out of the closet

[Oaktavia]

@Luijim78 thank you Luiji, always a pleasure to read your kind encouragement on here. A marvelous jacket this one. Glad you fished yours out!
