IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

Yes, though I don't always wear it that way. I can post to confirm if you don't belive me

Thanks @neph93. Because of how ahem sturdy the overdyed jacket is I was worried that it fit differently than my other type 3s. If I sized up, though, it would be too long in many different areas. It's a little tight when I button it; however, like my 21oz softened up over time, I suppose this one will, too. I wore it all afternoon (inside) and it is really molding to my body, especially my arms. Such an amazing denim. Well worth the wait.

No. Even with a t-shirt I could probably wear this year-round. I can fit a uhf underneath but that's where things get a little sung and much too warm. The kanreki is the perfect weight for me. (Man, I wish they made this type of flannel more often.) Once I break the jacket in, I might try wearing a uhf under it again. Normally, though, even when it is very cold, that's almost too much down here.

It makes me wish I bought a heavier pair of overdyed jeans. I have the 14oz, and while they are so nice, I'd love to have something in this weight.

I only have an the old 14oz in OD (I picked them up second hand as I was curious and barely ever wear them), so I cannot comment on the 142OD. However the 21oz OD is just beautiful stuff. So comfy, the colour is something else and their is a special texture to them too. I'd imagine they would do very well in warm climates. My IH-888s-OD are my go to pair in summer.

Ugh. So many jeans to buy. I still need a "normal" pair of 21 oz jeans and the SBGs, too.

Looking good @thomas01!

Ramon question for you all. You ever notice white marks caused by buttoning the jacket. I thought it may be from stress but it happened near the collar where there is plenty of room. I suppose the stress of the denim could cause it as well. It’s a beast. Somehow feels heavier than the 21oz denim.
-
OD process must increase ounces per square yard. But just a guess.

That may account for the heaviness. Just curious about the white marks. Not an issue. I like it, actually. Just curious about what causes it.
-
Maybe tarnish off buttons.

Gotta be the case.

I have the white marks at the buttonholes on both my OD jackets. I believe it is transferred tarnish. It fades in though and the colour of od is already uneven so I care not a bit.
As for weight, OD shrinks fabric so there is an increase in fabric density. It also beats the crap out of the cotton fibers so they will lose some integral strength. This means they are not as good at holding their own weight increasing the heft of the fabric and giving an increases perception of weight.
However fabric weight is tricky. Both the IHSH-62 and -33 are 12oz but the wabash feels heavier. The -21 is 10oz but feels twice as light as the other two. I think it has to do with heft, weave and hand all contributing to the impression of weight. No doubt that LHT is a different fabric to 21oz in the above respects and I don’t think IH have an interest in flubbing fabric weight (unless perhaps in the other direction? [emoji1]).

Fabric weight/perception is definitely tricky. A while ago a few of us thought that the Pronto XHS felt lighter than the IH XHS. I have the IHSH 177 and the IH-555-02,the exact same denim,and the shirt feels as if it’s heavier to me. Not surprising that people have thought that other brands of heavyweight denim have not felt as heavy as similar weighted IH denim.
