IHJ-33 - Jail Denim Chore Jacket

Jail denim is the Japanesification of Jelt Denim, an invention of Lee who incorporated it in their garments back in 1925 onwards. It's an 11.5oz denim that feels heavier due to its tight weave.

Any other plans with this denim, western or workshirt perhaps? Looks lovely!

[Giles]

No current plans….

Hey G,  What's the sizing like on this one? Toying between an Xl/XXL.  Am I right in thinking that chore coats tend to be cut a bit roomier?

[Giles]

Yes a little roomier.  Buy one and we'll send you both….

Thanks G

I am coveting this… very hard to resist. What a nice jacket.  So someone please put up some pics and give a review!  Push me over the top!

Also waiting for some pictures. This jacket looks awesome.

@TrickHell:

"Jail Denim" = Almost as tight as "Cell Bitch Denim"

I heard that "Cell bitch" denim was actually very loose lol

[Bluegrass]

This could be my favorite of the season.  Well it's good - lots of cool stuff this winter… but this one is flying under the radar.

[Appfaff]

Looks great @Bluegrass - your stuff ALWAYS look top notch!

[Anesthetist]

You wear it well! I might need to take another look at the 33.

Thanks guys - for real this one is highly recommended. I've been enjoying sack coats and chore coats lately, they're just so practical and comfortable. I'm trying not to overdo it (like I tend to do with most EVERYTHING), and really wear and enjoy these ones I have a lot.

@Bluegrass:

hi @Bluegrass
on the product fotos in the (IH web-)shop the jacket looks light blue and not so pretty dark blue-blackish like
on your pics. how is the real thing?

[Bluegrass]

@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.
