IH-101J - 1946 101J Riders Jacket

[Oaktavia]

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.

I'll remember that about the washing doing wonders for this denim!

What kind of new jacket did you get, IH or something else?

My new jacket is a 22oz Naked and Famous Elephant 8. It's a much looser fit and I can layer it over my 101J.

Feelin' groovy

Nice! You can really see things are starting to evolve more rapidly since you washed it, esp. in that 4th pic.

Wearing mine too right now.

I've never wished for a longer colder season in my entire life…but now with this jacket I don't even want a summer! Hahaha cheers man.

6 months in rotation

Awesome pics @Oaktavia! I'm loving the triple denim costume. How many months of wear in that jacket do you reckon?

Oops, 6 months, I'm now noticing. It looks longer though! I think my jacket has about 6 months of everyday wear but shows less evo than yours.

Anyways, well done!

I agree with you 100% on that @xtcclassic .
Would get one so fast if they came back.

I wore mine indoors as well as outdoors. Maybe that plays a factor? I rarely took it off in the fall/winter months…like always had that jacket on.

I'm surprised it hasn't happen yet.

9 months with this 101J. I wore it almost daily for about 4 months and off and on since. Just washed it again and love the results.
