so...i want a denim jacket - where do i start?
i have a decent amount of experience in raw denim jeans, but don't know anything about denim jackets (raw, or otherwise). there seems to be an infinite number of style choices (Type 1,2,3, - in addition to each brand having its own cut)

are there any guides? my understanding is that denim jackets are even harder than denim jeans to fade - how long / how many daily wears would i expect to need to bring a raw black denim jacket to a nice, faded black? i'm worried i won't be wearing raw denim jacket enough to give it any character - and in that case what other options do i have?

As you said there are three (main) styles of denim jackets, the higher the number generally and the less boxy it will fit and of course the details are different between each style, and sometimes on a Type III you may even get hand pockets.
Denim jackets are only harder to fade than jeans only because you wear them less and there's less natural abrasion on a jacket compared to a pair of jeans.
If you want a black denim jacket the best looking ones over time are overdyed ones, ones which are indigo denim overdyed/garment dyed black, the fading is very interesting, and within a year of regular wear you'll see some great fading in the arms/elbows.
We have quite a selection of denim jackets in stock here, 28 different ones to be exact!

Roy "Indigo Lover" Jeans - Available Now!

We have a new run of Roy’s jeans being released today via our online store. The indigo patches on the pocket bags are made by Rowland Ricketts. Roland grows the indigo himself on his farm then dyes the cloth himself. Roy has used different shades of his indigo dyed cotton cloth to decorate the pocket bags. These come in a classic straight leg fit with a little taper and classic medium rise.

These are unsanforized and have not been rinsed, so the measurements you see online shrink down considerably after a hot soak. These are the most over the top detailed out jeans we’ve ever seen from Roy, so many little details to discover within these jeans. Get em now in our online store.

New Spring Essentials by Merz B. Schwanen

We've just received a large shipment from our favorite all-loopwheeled basics brand, Merz B. Schwanen. We have micro-striped loopwheeled t-shirts and new bamboo blend socks. The fastest selling socks we had last year were these bamboo fiber socks so we're happy we were able to get another run in new colors.

Along with new t-shirts and socks we have fresh runs of their blank tees in white and gray, short sleeve henley tees in natural, and their loopwheeled boxer briefs in navy and black.

@kiya which tees are lighter weight, the ones from 3Sixteen or Merz? I’m thinking of wearing these to layer under flannels at work and don’t want anything too heavy.

@kiya which tees are lighter weight, the ones from 3Sixteen or Merz? I’m thinking of wearing these to layer under flannels at work and don’t want anything too heavy.

The non super-heavy Merz tees are lighter between the two, and I think you may like the fit better on those anyway.
