IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

[LewisStonehouse]

@henry_david I did the same as @Oaktavia and sized one up and went hard on the hot soak, then wore it whilst still a bit damp.

It’s worked out real nice and fades super fast

Oh yeah wearing it damp is key to forming basically a denim mold of your torso and arms. It really worked out well for us. When I first put on the jacket out of the bag, it was pretty big on me.

Ugh, everyone makes this thing look so good. I take an XL in the IH-526J and would assume the same here given the shrink of .5"? Tempted by the large, too.

I'm about to get the IHJ-507-SLB and have the IH-526J but I don't have anything in the 19oz denim nor do I have a denim jacket with pockets so… This seems to fill a gap I didn't know about 

I did an initial hot soak on mine then a hot wash later and it probably shrank half a size.  I just got a pair of 634-slb and if I had to choose between the slubby vs lefty, I'd go lefty

If this were a Type II, I'd be game @chubacca. Looking to have a Type II and then get another Type III in this denim. Fades look sick af on these.

[Oaktavia]

The fades are insane with this denim…and happen rather quickly.

This is a crazy denim, am extremely surprised how tough it is.

For being 19oz is a low number for it.

Don’t know if anyone noticed, that the side pocket stitching is yellow shown..

I know there few blue ones out there @Oaktavia has blue too..
I have blue stitching rather than yellow.

I like mine blue.

[Lowlander]

Ha that's funny! I never would have noticed. But I have yellow.

Wow you have an eagle eye @Kasi I like the blue too.

I also agree 19oz seems like it would be lighter…it feels more heavy than 21oz for sure.

@Oaktavia

Eagle eyes  :D.

Ain’t that the truth’s

I am sharp minded person… 
The question is
Wonder how many’s blue were made.

Yes I am curious now @Giles perhaps you know?

[Giles]

I don't.  We prefer tonal stitching on the hand-warmers of all our indigo modified type III's.  But we cant remember requesting it specifically on reruns of the IH-526L.  Or maybe Tom san just changed it because she knew our preference.  All lost in the mists of time.  @Alex is going to check which version is actually in stock tomorrow…..

[Kasi]

I brought mine last year sometime around April/May time.

Might have sold out by now quite popular always selling fast.

I think around there.  I purchased in 2018 and wore seasonal in fall and winter.  I haven't worn it much since the pandamic, but now wearing daily.  There is still tons of life left and no signs of rips/tears/blowouts

[Oaktavia]

@chubacca looking awesome man !
