Any word on when the Slubby Overdyed Type III jackets may arrive?

Not sure where to ask, but are you guys still planning to release an OD Slubby denim Type III? My wallet is ready and waiting.

Can anyone kindly tell me when a restock will be coming? Thank you!

Thank you both for sharing your experiences @Kasi and @neph93 Going to keep the L as it is perfect. For those that don't have this hoody, don't hesitate to pull the trigger! Can't wait to give this hoody some little wabi sabi 

Can anyone tell me if the material stretches/is forgiving over time with lots of wabi sabi wear?

I only ask bc I just received my size L and all measurements are perfect except for just very slight armpit tightness when hoodie is zipped. It is my understanding the hoody will NOT shrink with a wash so I assume it will only conform/stretch to my body dimensions better with wear(cotton should be pretty forgiving right?). Im probably just overthinking and experiencing the new "out of the box" feeling.

I'm leaning against exchanging for size XL, since I don't want a longer body or sleeve length. Any experience will be much appreciated.

Wanted to let everyone know that @manufc10 is an awesome seller! Got a size XL Purple IHSH-130 from him that was shipped extremely quickly and was in amazing condition. Kudos to him!

With flannels and other napped fabric I get pilling in the areas where the shirt rubs my denim and belt almost immediately, and like @Dstauffer said, the back of the neck and shoulders over time.

This is pretty common with napped fabric in my experience and doesn't affect the overall quality of the shirt.

Thanks all for the reply…but yes exactly...I noticed the pilling in the belt/waist area. Glad to know these should not affect the durability of the shirt!

Just got the 130 as my first IH shirt ever. Had a question…do you find that the inside of the shirt (brushed cotton side) pills really easily?

I wore it lightly only for a couple hours and when I took it off, noticed pretty severe pilling for a first time wear. Is this normal or did I get a defective shirt?...kinda disappointed at how easily it pills

@emceeQ:

They're the 3sixteen collab.  I'm trying to grab a pic that better represents the color of these, cause in the sunlight they are definitely olive.  The color and the leather are just stunning…

Hey Emcee can you grab a couple pics in daylight and indoors just so we can see the different shades? Seems strange, but the color/texture of the shoe looks different in the few pics (2-3) I have seen online. Also, what size are you in Alden Barrie? I'm an 11 and not sure if i should get the same size or a 10.5. Any tips wud help! Thanks!

Was wondering if anyone who owns a buzz rickson sweatshirt and a IHSW-04 hoody can tell me if the hoody loopwheeled material is as soft/comfortable as buzz rickson's loopwheeled fabric? I love my buzz rickson and its def the most comfortable sweatshirt i have.  I know both are loop wheeled, but wasn't sure how IH loopwheeled material is. Thanks.

for oiling your patches, do u guys use Obenauf's heavy duty LP or leather oil? What is the difference between the two?

@kit99bar:

rmc, big thighs for the win!  fantastic fit and honestly they do not look too long for you uncuffed.
have you tried a double cuff?

thanx…i think i am going to double cuff and see if it works for me. It is definitely tough for bigger guys to wear 666's  true to size. I am glad I exchanged for one size up... Thanks everyone for the sizing advice.

@Beatle:

pics…..

Excuse the messy room, but here it is cuffed to about my feet:

…and here it is uncuffed:

Hey Finn,

How much are you thinking about hemming them? Are u planning to leave some length for slight stacking or just choppin off right about where ur feet r?

Just got my size 38!…thanks everyone for ur help!  This mite sound a lil ignorant, but for those that usually hem their jeans, how much to shorten while keeping it looking good? I'm 5'11 and have never had my jeans hemmed. Can't decide if i should just leave the hem or cut about 2-3 inches so there's only about 1 inch extra. Right now, the stock length looks kinda long.

So I just got these in size 36 in the mail, and the thighs are pretty tight on me…since they r tight right out the box, would i be correct saying after a couple months, the thigh area will not get thaat much looser/more comfortable? For reference, I currently wear a size 36 in 301s with plenty of room, so I am really on the fence about trading the 666s in for size 38 just for more thigh room.

Giles, when exactly is the next OD 666 restock?

thnx for the help. so i was luckily able to actually try on my friends pair of month old 301s tday, and loved the knee down fit…my calves had just enough room. problem was i was experiencing some hip flare...does ih denim sit a lot better on the waist over time?

how is that od size 36 in the waist for u? is it really loose? any hip flare?

Question about sizing…so my worn F380's measure 18" across the waist....should I purchase a size 34 and let it stretch 2 inches or get a size 36.  Note that I have an athletic lower half, and would like to slightly sag a little more than my f380's allow. Also, i know these are slim jeans, but i dont want them skin tight.  Really wish they made size 35....wat da ya think?

…totally my bad G. fixed my initial post
