IH-101-JV - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim 1946 Type Rider’s Jacket - Indigo

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Hi @Acerolaplus my thoughts are if maybe you have a heavy sweater or thermal long-sleeved shirt to wear under it and let that pad your elbow area and wear it might help. I can't really suggest any mechanical means of stretching the sleeves out because of the taper on the sleeves…

I think if you just keep wearing it eventually it will get better. You're sure to get some awesome honeycombs where your arms bend.

Thank you for the replies!

@Acerolaplus:

Any thoughts? Do the sleeves stretch? Maybe I'm posting this is the wrong spot.
Thanks! -Joe

Otherwise, embrace your inner masochist and just wear it. They’ll loosen up eventually.

This right here^^  I have a Pronto Type I the sleeves were like tourniquets. They gave it up. In the end they all give up

What about fade pics ?
Really like to see how this beauty looks after some wear …

@IH Crew
Do you have more pics ?
I can‘t decide between this one and the 526 21 oz

[Giles]

No, just the ones in this thread and on the website…..Sorry.....

[Lowlander]

@Daniel San You could have a look here though: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7564

Same jacket, different denim. And lots of pics.

@Lowlander
thank you for the info.
i really would like to see the now used denim and how it fades

[LewisStonehouse]

@Daniel San check out the CPO in this denim for an idea on fades https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=15942.30

And there’s also all the usual cuts of jeans in the same denim

[Giles]

This is my Type II, same denim as the 101…..

Plenty of fades in the 634 and 666 threads:

I have a 634 in 18oz , so i have an idea how it might look like.
but i think the fades look different on jeans and jackets

think I have to buy one, then I will know 

[John Galt]

IH team - Any scheduled restock of the smaller sizes?  Thanks!

[Giles]

Nothing scheduled at the moment I am afraid.  We need to sell a few more before we initiate another run.

[John Galt]

Thanks for the update status Giles - it’s on my wishlist for the next restock.  Missed out on the original release in prioritizing other IH purchases and it’s now on my radar.

[Daniel San]

Pulled the trigger 
Now I will see how they fade, will let you know !
