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

@Giles here's a fit pic from my first day in them. I'll try to remember and take some updated photos when I wear them next but I've been focusing on the vintage 18oz 666 since June.

in terms of fade potential
It will fade completely differently. Take a look here at the same denim vs OD denim

That’s useful, Giles. I really like the fact that it’s a unique new fabric by the sounds of things.
It's not new at all actually. Take a look here:

Duuuude…waiting for a heavyweight version of this...
My thoughts were immediately of a heavyweight version. We'll probably be waiting a long time though… there is no indigo/black in the 21oz range at the moment and Haraki-san has said that the XHS is too thicc to make a type III from.
That being said, I'm loving these pics. It really is a beautiful colour.
I recall reading similar comments from IH folks that a 25oz 555 was not possible either…

Nope, not the same thing.
Making 555’s out of XHS was always doable. However Haraki-san (and Giles) were reluctant to use XHS on the slim tapered cuts because the feeling was that such heavy denim on such slim jeans would be so uncomfortable that no one would want them. Denim head masochism changed their minds.
Haraki-san would likely do an XHS type III if he could, but he won’t because he believes it is technically impossible to do well. The aggregration of felled seams at the arm holes is just too much. This is why there is a type III vest in XHS but no jacket.
Of course, the guy is a genius, so never say never.

This came out perfectly. I can’t justify another type III, but wow.

I bought two type III’s this spring and am in need of something heavier for the arctic winter so I’m out. For now. It is so beautiful I may need one regardless.

Between still breaking in my new Lefty Trucker, and waiting (im)patiently for the White Windbreaker to drop tomorrow, I’m also out for now…
...but it’s only a matter of time [emoji51]
