IHJ-33 - Jail Denim Chore Jacket
-
@Carazow it's def. a darker color blue. The jelt denim is like nothing I've experienced with IH - lightweight, very smooth tight weave, really soft and a nice drape. Also very resistant to wrinkles if you care about such things - came out of the blue bag and shook it and good to go, no creases no nothing. @Giles is this fabric made like the old Lee jelt denim that is supposedly very rip-resistant? I'm curious about the history and how this fabric is made, and if IH has used it before in other articles of clothing?
Anyway it's hard to capture good color with iPhone and the light effects it too. But I think it's a very handsome fabric though I am surely biased.
Yes, it's made the same way as the old Lee Jelt denim.
@Sam - please check colour in pics

i looked at the pics on the site again and it looks pretty dark in the pics… MY pics are more washed out looking in retrospect. Bottom line though it's a nice deep dark blue imo.
Out of curiosity I googled jelt denim - from Denim Hunters: "Lee started using their exclusive Jelt denim for their denim garments from 1925 onwards. It was an 11.5 oz. denim but had the quality of a 13 oz. fabric due to its tight construction and twisted yarn."

Hey @Bluegrass
I've been checking the colours on a lot of the products recently to makes sure they match the real thing. It's so tricky with all the different colour temperatures in the office. I think i got it pretty much dead on. It's interesting to know how it looks on other people's screens but i know the Mac i do the editing on is colour balanced for our cameras. Glad to hear you're enjoying the jacket.

@Sam I think the pics look good - color is good. I think my color is a bit off, yours = good.
@Carazow i don't think you will be disappointed!

RESTOCKED IN ALL SIZES

wanted this but just broke down and picked up the khaki chino on special with my last order! -
Paula and I both commented on how much we liked them and discussed the probability of one or 2 being misappropriated (in the name of research of course…..)
"His 'n' Her" matching denim chore jackets…?

Does the couple compliment in their research field?!
In your case, this would require only one pic! -
@Giles @Madame Buttonfly - I wore mine today - really love it! But I have to ask - what is the significance of the extra button hole at the top? Any story behind this?
-
^I think the extra hole was meant for attaching a pocket watch fob in the olden days…
