IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
In another note, I'd like to ask this as respectfully as possible, but is this really one washed? There wasn't any puckering around the stitching before that I now see after a really gentle barely warm soak with zero agitation that resulted in nearly an inch of loss on the lengths. The "no shrinkage" expected on the sizing chart is maybe a little inaccurate in my one sample. Again, not intending to be critical, but honestly asking and bringing up to help others get the right size or know what to expect.
Yes, it definitely is one-washed, but there can be variances run to run, of course. This is treated the same as past runs of this, which we have shrunk test in the past and that is our experience. We will run a shrink test again this week and update with our findings

Altough I have a 19oz leftie trucker is from an older batch and hasn't seen water, but i have 2 19oz lefties 634 v2 and in a cold wash i didnt get any shrinkage or if I did it was negligible so there maybe a variance from batch to batch.

Day 1
Now I finally know why you guys call the Lefty the best jacket in the universe. It’s just an incredible piece of clothing! I could barely move when I wore it damp to work this morning. Just a few hours later it already fits like a glove – or rather like a suit of armor! -
@AtariHunter cool … don’t think mine would stand like that now it’s got too soft.
You planning on wearing it everyday if possible? -

You planning on wearing it everyday if possible?I mean, it‘s a good thing after all that it will get softer
I won‘t be able to wear it every day for now because it still gets hot here in Switzerland – summer isn‘t over yet. And I also have other pieces that I like to wear, so I don‘t think that I will wear it every day. But it will be a staple and I will wear it often for sure! -

@AtariHunter shit hot shot, mate! Day one??
Thanks man! Yes, day one. The creases set in nicely thanks to the hint from the pros in this thread

The beast arrived with perfect timing the day after my arrival back home from holidays. Stacked sending and timing at its best. Pictures before and after soak later. For now it is sitting around waiting for action..

@AtariHunter impressive and inspiring! Have a super day and keep on fading in style
Thank you very much! It really isn‘t magic, anyone can do it. Just soak it and wear it damp like the pros suggested! Have a nice day too

I have been eyeing this for quite some time now. May be on the next run, I'll grab one!

Two questions, is the sleeve opening big enough to fit over a Watch comfortably? Will the indigo rub off on lighter color shirts, chinos, etc?
-
@Alex Is there a restock imminent? I have the notification set up nevertheless, would be glad to know if this is going to happen anytime soon?
-
@PJS I can wear my watch with it but not buttoned up but def depends on what your working with... I do have feminine wrists. and you betchya it'll bleed

Mine fits easily over my watch (also buttoned up), so no problem there (my wrists are rather narrow though). But yeah, the indigo will bleed for sure, at least in the first couple of weeks or months.
