I had the perfect fitting Levi's trucker, cut off in motorcycle accident.
Bought a very over sized one to replace. Sold to co-worker.
Just got a 50L 71506 0214 Made In The USA..
THIS should work...I hope

I've been tempted for a while with ordering one of the wool/tweed type 1/2 denim style jackets from aliexpress...

The material looks pretty good and they come in around $100. Anyone bought one?

I soaked my 23oz SExIH 23oz type III, wanted to see if that would ratchet up the thickness at all. I think it did. Feels like 30oz now. Wore it on and off while it dried to hard set some creases.

Did it get significantly smaller? I though the overdying has removed all potential shrinkage...

No it didn’t. Maybe just a wee bit shorter in the body and sleeves has perma creases now but no change whatsoever to the width.

won't that leave blue stain everywhere on your shirt, and caught all dirty things on the outside, probably it will sell for fashion... obviously not for function.

Considering how much it'll be worn, I doubt it. It's a ridiculous idea to begin with, the sherpa will get stained immediately and I don't even want to imagine what that thing will look like once caught in rain. Or snow. Snow sticks to this synthetic fur like crazy.

But yeah, doubt it it'll ever see the light of day long enough to get stained. Like how every woman out there is still buying those horrible cross zips and don't get a single crease in the sleeves because they only wear the jacket over the shoulders.

Nice creases on the sleeve, looks black will it fade to blue?

Thanx Navetsea. This one is super black. No blue.....but the 23oz IH type III I just ordered is over dyed and the black will give way to blue [emoji16]
