IH-101J - 1946 101J Riders Jacket

I'm not sure if the SRs are made of the same 18oz denim, but I guess they'll end up like this at some point…

I don’t think they are the same denim. Yours is the now defunct 18oz, which is the same denim as the IHSH-177 and IHSH-178 (and of course, the original IH-666S) are made from.  The IH-101J-SR is made from the newer 18oz vintage denim.

Bloody great looking jacket regardless.

You see what I mean about a wash bringing the 18oz to life? Not all denim does that. I seriously regret not owning jeans in this denim… [emoji53]

Yeah mostly, just a tad of a deodorant smell but not bad.

Here is my jacket I've been wearing nearly daily since late August. Photos were taken right before I threw it in the washing machine. I will update more after it dries.

Trying this canadian tuxedo out for a change. Paired with UHR Beatle Busters. Cross posted from that thread.

There really needs to be a version 2.0 of this jacket. I don’t even care which denim.

It would be rad to see others fade theirs away.

@Oaktavia: This is where I'm at now. Not too much happening yet, but I'm patient. I really love this jacket, both the cut and the fabric! Planning on wearing it a lot more this year.

Man that's a great lookin' jacket.

Nothing happens fast with this fabric. Up until a month ago, I wore mine every day, from when I woke up till bedtime. After about 6 months, it really picks up the pace though. Especially after wearing a new jacket and not looking at my 101J, the fades are quite noticeable.

@neph93 said this fabric takes to washing well, and evo happens as a result. He was totally correct.
