IH-101J-BLK - 21oz Selvedge Denim 1946 Type Rider’s Jacket - Superblack Non-Fade
-
Looking at this thread makes me wonder why I don't own one of these… SB denim, a brilliant, classic design, my favoured colour hardware. It's perfect The obvious answer to that is that I have more jean jacket variants than I'll ever need, but still.
@wdw @Cole @den1mhead you all rock it wonderfully.

So this beauty arrived sooner than expected and it's wonderful. I must admit I was a bit sceptical first but this jacket is as badass as it looks on the pics (and even beyond). The denim is gorgeous and not as stiff as I remember the non-selvedge superblack 21 oz was on my 9666Z. @neph93 If you're on the fence, go for it. You definitely won't regret it (and you look stunning in everything IH offers, if I may add). It's endangered and now I wonder why it hasn't been sold out earlier. Grab it while you can, people!
Also the lovely detail:

Thanks for the kind words @Dion although I’m not sure I can agree with you [emoji1]
I’m not really on the fence. I’ve wanted one since they came out and loved the idea when it was annoinced, but given my jacket situation I’d have to sell to buy. Anything else would be extreme. I need to get my collection reviewed and see what I can let go, but it pains me to do so.
As for why interest has been slow, I have no idea. It may be that the type III jackets are too popular and nothing else gets a look in but for me this is almost as iconic and in fact a lot cooler. Add the 21oz black denim into the mix and it’s a beauty.
Congratulations on yours, I’m really pleased for you.

It felt like an IH-101J-BLK day today

Looking sharp, @den1mhead. It's a beast of a jacket and needs quite a bit of wear to soften it up. I need to dig mine out again.

[emoji120] buddy. Couldn't agree more with your assessment. Go get your jacket out, put it on and take a snap [emoji991] [emoji6]

Ha. I've been wearing my new 14oz OD several hours a day for a few weeks now, but not a sniff of evo, so might give up on that and work on the 101 and sbg. The 21oz sbg seems a lot softer than the 21oz 101, which really needs some work.

Fresh out the bag. This jacket is a straight up beastly.

Looks very good on you, @ton312 . The harder you wear it the better.
The jacket would fit you at least equaly well.
