Had to upload a pic after my second wash. Had for about ten months. Love this SBR OD. Was sad to see it go outlet.

Not quite at Oak level but it's coming along.

Love this jacket. Wish I would've picked up the 139 so I could see how this denim progresses without the grey weft.

@SKT I know Im dredging up old posts, but this is so true. Giles HoF pair convinced me to buy my first pair of IHs. It basically converted me to the brand. If I was married it would've led to a divorce at this point.

@Oaktavia That soft golden sunlight is the best light, my friend.

Definitely plan on rocking this and the 101J-SR till summer. Should be enough time to make it really pop.

@krebsy This is my grail piece, man. A timeless design with the best vintage denim on the market. Definitely need some pics after that first wash.

Would love a restock and additional colors. I bought all five colors of the 721. I planned on wearing them for work but the 777 cut just isn't for me. Lesson learned. Add .5 to the rises and thigh and its game over.

@ZackB Those stacks are glorious, man. Even with the lighting you can tell it's coming along. The stacking on the sleeves of this jacket is so gnarly looking.

Have you washed it yet? I haven't washed mine but I'm debating it. The sleeve stacks seem to be setting in so I feel it might be time.

@Mister_Brue

Thank you, sir.

At the start, it's almost too beautiful. It was difficult for me to style. The deep blue denim with the tonal stitching. Idk, It had a formal vibe. Then you look at Oaks and it's pure vintage. Really cool stuff. It's been one of the funniest evos I've seen. You should definitely give yours some love.

I have 888-21OD/555-18. You're right. The 21 isn't slubby or hairy. It really comes out of the box soft and stays that way. I've had mine for about 8 months and even now the weave is tight with slight degree of fuzz. With that said, the 18 isn't really slubby IMO. The denim is a coarse out of the box and a little hairy. It does feel like a slower weave denim. I wore them both in summer and felt fine. Maybe the 21oz fairs a bit better in really hot weather but the 18 works too. Personally, I love the 18oz. The denim is almost electric blue from day one.

And we're talking about stacks on the 140. This is truly gnarly stuff.

It seems like the 18oz jackets aren't released as frequently, so this might be a shot in the dark but pow pow.

WTB IHJ-51/71/72/101JV in a small.

I don't have any references on here, but I do have an Ebay account with feedback. I have a 19oz lefty OD I would be willing to trade if that would sweeten the pot.

@sabergirl You're absolutely right. I realized it was just bad posture. I was folding my core in and shortening my torso.

Thanks for the thumbs up. I'm a type 1/2 head so I'm branching out of my typical fits. It's hard to tell if you got it right.

I don't know if this helps but I noticed the no patch/patch have different fits. The patch version has less length and a tighter opening. Maybe the no patch might be something you could work with.

@Mister_Brue

Not really. I went off my normal size because I didn't want this fit like a shrunk sweatshirt. It had my questioning if that was mistake. I'm the worst about second guessing stuff like this. Thanks for the input.

Wondering if I sized this right?

Most of pictures I've seen show the back muffining up but the front usually lays down. I'm getting some fold over.
