IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown

[VoodooRay]

Here’s mine after about 10 years.. I wore it a lot for the first three or so years and sporadically after that. Still gets a decent bit of action in the warmer months when I can wear it over just a t-shirt (have outgrown it a bit). As I recall I sold my Gibson SG special to fund it, think this was my second ever IH purchase.

@VoodooRay Has it gotten softer or is it still tough?

[VoodooRay]

@cityofdelusion I’d say it has softened up a good bit, as far as I can remember it was stiff as a board when new. It has a pretty smooth hand but is still tough and has some rigidness to it, I’d estimate that it feels like a tightly woven 15oz denim now..

[cityofdelusion]

@VoodooRay Nice! I wonder if (and how) it could ever get as soft as a pair of broken-in 14, 21 or 25oz denims at some point... Not sure I have the patience it takes to find out though, but I admire yours for it

@VoodooRay
This looks so good

[VoodooRay]

@cityofdelusion I wore this pretty much all the time even during winter for the first few years that I had it, (I was a student at the time so this and my 21oz 634s were the only nice clothes that I really had). I'd say it softened up a lot after a year of wear but it really came to life after a wash..

[VoodooRay]

@Zinc2162 Cheers dude.

[cityofdelusion]

@VoodooRay Gotta love and admire the commitment you put in these. It looks beautiful, so it definitely paid off.

@Oaktavia cheers dude.. I’ve been admiting your lefty jacket, I had the OD version but sold it as was bit long for me.

Any rough dates on a re-stock for these?

[JoshC]

@DeeDee85 We will be getting these back in soon hopefully, maybe in the next couple of months, but apart from that, I couldn't tell you, I'm afraid. If you haven't already, I would get signed up for the restock alert on the product page

[DeeDee85]

Thanks for the info!

The question might be stupid.. But has there been a 21Oz version? Just as I have here? Pre 2011?

[Giles]

It is not 21oz, when we originally made this jacket, I did not specify which patch to put on it and I did not think of making a specific patch for the jacket, so we just used what we had used on our existing denim jackets, which at the time, were all 21oz.....
