Thanks @neph93

This lefty twill trucker is a particular favorite. Even though it is lighter than the IH 21oz. This really is quite stiff and strong which I particularly like, probably tougher than the 21oz.

My other IH denim jacket is a type 2 in 18oz and single wash, which is a totally different beast to the lefty twill type 3. I think Pinkomo store in HELSINKI was the only place outside Japan to have stocked it, back a couple of summers ago. It is super soft, almost like a shirt more than a jacket, great for the warmer months.

Any day now, then, I guess.  The excitement is palpable!

@Giles  Are any retailers picking the jacket up this time around?

I thought I had read somewhere that the overdye process adds an ounce or two to the weight of the fabric much like the UHR is 21oz pre soak and 23oz post soak.  Is there any truth in that @Giles or am I imagining things.

I lifted this from SE's website for the 14oz od type III that you and I own:

Unsanforized 14.5oz Indigo Selvedge Denim (weighs 16oz after overdye process)

That must have been where I read it.

I'm waiting with bated breath ….hopefully measurements work

We fucked up on these - when they are announced, please do not sleep on them. There are not enough for the demand.

@Alex  Will you be doing a pre-release announcement with drop time, à la brand-new-product rollout?  Or just a standard restock e-mail when they're up and available?

(The former sounds way better to me, cos I don't have my phone set to bleep and ping at me whenever a new e-mail arrives  :))
