I thought IH overdye is they put black on top of indigo. So as it fades, electric blue will peek through the black. I'm guessing the black will fade faster in high stress areas. Sounds like the denim version of teacore.

I've got a 14 oz IH shirt that is OD and it's crazy cool. I had to try and shrink it (which is a mistake because all the shrink is out of the material with the hot wash to dye it). So after like an hour in the dryer, I realized it wasn't going to happen. But in the process I started getting some cool crease fades.

Edit: actually I might still be in a Turkey stupor. I think there's a black od and indigo od. Don't think you can put a new color on top. But I do know the od styles produce more high contrast fades for sure.
Wearing my IH888 OD now as happens (the fades tend towards neon)

Beautiful trucker! The color is super luxurious - never saw one with a zip closure (except for one posted by Monitor) and the brass snaps add some contrast. I am amazed at all the jackets you wear and post on this forum. You and some others must have unlimited resources and gobs of space to store an endless array of leather outerwear. Another winning look!

Of the many (hundreds?) of jackets in your collection, this is the coolest one imo. I love the zip closure on it and the colour and the collar. Amazing!

Wow! That is an amazing jacket!
What a nice jacket. The hide looks so familiar? Did you provide it or Johnson's stock supply?

Thank you gents for the kind words. The credit goes to the good folks at JL.

The leather is Horween CXL FQHH Cordovan (#8), skived down. JL gets this leather on a regular basis. But I did source some Horween **** Strips in the same finish and asked Johnson to incorporate into the jacket. Also skived down so it's easier to wear.
