IH-526J-22OD - 22oz Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Indigo Overdyed Black

@Oaktavia Yeah, you can see that the cuffs were taken off, some sleeve material was removed and the cuffs were sewn back on. Kind of what @Mizmazzle did with his leather jacket, if I remember his modification correctly. Now the shirt sleeves come through, and I don't particularly like it.
-
@Oaktavia I'm stoked to see what you'll do to this jacket!
I've had mine for almost 5 years. My experience so far is that it doesn't really fade, or at least not like the OD lefty. It does develop a nice patina. I'll post a pic of mine later...

@Lowlander those look like fades to me my friend! Thanks for posting, I've been meaning to ask you if you still had yours. Over the five years you've had it, do you have any idea how many wears? And a wash count?
Edit: I am assuming you have an OD Lefty? If so and when you have a moment, a side by side photo comparison would be greatly appreciated.

@Oaktavia I just remembered, I believe someone faded one of these for the last Redline Rally, with excellent results. Might be worth digging up some photos if you're curious about the potential.

@JunkPants synchronization is strong today, I literally just had an Instagram friend share the images with me moments ago.
-
@Oaktavia Nice! It's clear the universe wants you to fade this thing.
-
And I’m reading this post just now. Synced up indeed. It was the Arcuate maybe?
-
@Oaktavia, definitely one wash, but the number of wears I'm less certain about. As a ballpark figure I'd say about 300 days of wear.
Sorry, I have the regular lefty, but not the OD version.
-
@Lowlander right on man, thanks for the info. Much more subtle fades with this one compared to other denim. I'm going to give it a go.
