IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker

IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker.  The Lefty Trucker

First sample has been made, we need to run a second sample.  This was the first garment we made with the new 19oz raw LHT denim and it behaved differently than we expected.  A second sample is now being run.  The dimensions of this XL are more akin to an IH-526J - nothing wrong with that per se, but I wanted longer body and longer arms on the Lefty.  We'll get there…

Will be available in XS-XXXL

This denim is damn mean.....And by that, I mean if I were a 526J and I met the Lefty in a dark alley, I'd turn and run - this is seriously tough no-nonsense stuff.

I'm minded to one-wash these so it takes the guess work out of sizing - comments on the back of a post card please.

Must have for me! …plus this denim in the 634 cut.

Enjoy ya addiction!

Def one wash these.

How about washing half of the run, offering both options, and seeing how they sell? Other shops (BiG springs to mind) do this with plenty of stuff.

For the record, I'd prefer unwashed. I kind of get off on the whole soaking/washing thing when I buy raw.

G, will the final measurements be similar to the X526J? I have the black duck and a small fits me just about perfectly. I might size up to a M for extra layering options. I need this jacket in my life, I think it and a pair of the 666D will be my fall uniform!

Blue denim top to bottom, Aka the "Canadian tuxedo"

I've tried but can't pull off that look. Maybe I'll keep trying tho!

[natehate]

one wash !
very interested to see how the next sample pans out
i need some length

[Giles]

I am adding and inch or two to both the length and the arm compared to the IH-526J.  Gotta have something for everybody…..

[hajduk]

G, +2" to the length please

I think those measurements will work for me. Can't wait!

[nietenhosen]

this jacket looks beautiful!
if it'll comes without handwarmer pockets (easier to produce and looking definitly much better afer a wearing period of a few years), I would kill for that item.

[superfuzz]

A Type III without hand-warmer pockets feels kind of useless to me. Why no just wear a denim shirt?

[natehate]

I'm with jan on the no pockets stance

[Arabit]

Well if I remember correctly the first type III's did not have handwarmer pockets aha, nieten and the others like the vintage look

[CLJ]

Had a cheapie levis type III without pockets and constantly found myself looking for them thinking there should be pockets. Luckily IH makes type III with and without. Something for all…

Looks very, very good G. Can't wait for them to come in!
