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

Thanks gang, looking forward to giving the jacket some heavy wear this season.

@Mizmazzle that’s great to hear, stoked for you! Looking forward to seeing some pics of yours.

Surprised to see the fades coming through so quickly - only worn for a week or so. I think this is my favourite item of clothing that I’ve ever owned, perfect gift from my wife.

This was a huge shock for me too! I always read the OD garments were slow/subtle faders but my 526Lod shed colour like crazy over the first few months..

I suppose the 526LOD fades quicker than other cuts, because it’s so stiff: even after quite a few days of wear, it still leaves me rushes at crease of my arms, when I wear just it over a t-shirt

@AdamJ stunning

Well...my 526LOD arrived this morning and it exceeds all expectations! I wanted to add an OD Type III to my wardrobe and was chatting with @Graham at the mothership about the 14oz OD...he told me that if I really wanted the best OD to go for the 19LOD. I will admit after seeing pictures of the non-OD version of this jacket online, I was hesitant to jump into something that looked so stiff and heavy. However, the OD process significantly softens the denim, so I decided to go for it. I ordered the Size L and it fits perfectly (5'10" 168 pounds)...I am blown away by the texture and inky finish on this jacket...I am really thrilled with it!!!

@SaddleSC These are so awesome fresh out the bag, glad you like it!

Good morning, together with its "sister", indigo, it is my favorite jacket

[T4920]

@SaddleSC Inky is the first word that came to mind when I got mine too

[SaddleSC]

I say this about nearly every new piece of Iron Heart clothing....but this jacket just might be my favorite of all! After the first full day of wear, the elbows are already setting up nicely!

@SaddleSC cool shot! Dope jacket. I’d like one one day…but Jesus, how many type 3s can a person have!? (Responses will vary greatly!!)

@Mizmazzle said in IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Overdyed Indigo:

I’d like one one day…but Jesus, how many type 3s can a person have!? (Responses will vary greatly!!)

I think the answer is more standard than you might think being the correct number is n+1, where n is the number of type 3s already owned.

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman damn it if you aren’t right! It’s just simple math for god’s sake!!!

[pechelman]

@Mizmazzle some people also suggest there's a minimum condition for this to be true where n must always be greater than or equal to 3.

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman oh shit!! Variables?? Sounds like science to me!!!

[Luijim78]

@Mizmazzle as for IH I have these, then I have a pair of Momotaro type1 and 2, lee101 rider and Levis vintage

[Mizmazzle]

@Luijim78 sounds like you’re adhering to the “science” behind denim jacket ownership!! Well done!!

[Luijim78]

@Mizmazzle ahaha thanks my friend, the only problem is explaining this law to my partner
