@Mizmazzle yeah I forgot I did that but yep I was thinking I wanted it to look more simple.
This its when you know you spend too much time on the IH forum: strangers online know the details of your clothes better than yourself

@Oaktavia they look ace

@twin been wearing the slubby more, can't put it down.
Love the textures on your slubby; looks amazing!!
-
@Nostradamion I just washed it for the first time and textures are popping even more. I'll post more photos in the IHJ-507 soon.
-
@Oaktavia Nice!!! I’ve had my eye on the modified Type III version; looks really sweet with all the textures popping out.
-
@Nostradamion If you're after texture, slubby denim is your jam for sure.
-
@Oaktavia that’s kind of what I’m realizing. Doesn’t seem to be many pics online of what it looks like once it’s faded unfortunately. Would like to get an idea as to what the fades will look like intertwined with the textures of that makes sense. Still would like to get a lefty as well at some point.

You will see some faded examples here from Giles.

@Kasi your jacket gives delicious, dirty thoughts
-
@Oaktavia Wow, those fades are beautiful!! Kind of sky blue. I’m super interested now!! How do you like yours compared to your lefty?

@Oaktavia How do you like yours compared to your lefty?
I love them both but to compare them would be like comparing apples to oranges. The Lefty is hefty and brutally stiff, difficult to break in, compared to the slubby. The slubby feels much lighter than the Lefty, fades around the same rate, textured, the list could go on.
-
@Oaktavia thanks much!! I’m considering picking up a type III slubby or the IH-526J-142OD. Two totally different jackets and am having a tough time making up my mind.
-
@Nostradamion yes, those two are quite different from each other as well as the Lefty. Might just need to figure out what it is you want from a jacket fade wise or whatever other reasons help determine one over the others.
-
Does the 19L run big? The measurements makes it seem like it so I’m not sure if I should go Large vs XL. Even after shrinkage it seems like the measurements of these are pretty big
I tried on an IH-526J-142OD in XL at self edge and the fit was as perfect as could be, but I decided to hold out for this, preferably in the black OD, or a 21oz classic.
I don’t own any iron heart yet 🥲 I got a Ship John ramblin in Medium last year, perfect fit and overall amazing jacket, but after trying on the iron heart I can see why there’s so much hype around it. Hoping for a black OD to give the ship John and break every now and then, but mainly wanting that extra weight
-
@bobbyg always trust the measurements! The last run seems to run a little bigger then the previous. But always trust the golden charts
-
@bobbyg this run did go about a 1/2 size larger than prior runs. Which may be to compensate the fact that this denim seems to shrink more than other IH Type 3s. When first purchased, I was thinking I might’ve been better off going down a tag size… after wear and a few washes it has tightened up considerably, to the point where I now second guess if I should’ve gone up a tag size. Oaktavia and Mizzmazzle showcase some great pre and post soak pics in this thread to give you an idea of how far you can shrink this piece and how the sleeve length not only shortens w a wash but w the setting of combs too. One last thing to consider when determining size, do you plan to wear with just a tshirt or will you wear w layers and do you plan to wear buttoned up or unbuttoned.
Edit: for the OD version, you can most certainly buy confidently off the measurement charts (all shrinkage removed in OD process)
