Help me pick a Type 1 denim jacket
I tried on these two Full Count type 1 denim jackets recently. I wasn't too interested in pre-faded/washed jackets but changed my mind once I tried these two on!
The first picture is 2016-2017 "More than Real" which is their "normal" fabric (13.7oz). I think I prefer the fact that this has more indigo left on the jacket - looks better imo. And it fits slightly better as I think the aging process on the Dartford version (2nd pic) seems to have shrunk the jacket a little more (it was a bit difficult to button up the bottom button on the first jacket - the Dartford and the arms are a tad short).
The second picture is 2978-2017SS "Dartford" (Super Smooth) which feels super soft and comfortable (it's their new 11.5oz super smooth fabric). I think it drapes really well and it's really light-weight too so think it would work quite well in spring/summer as I could throw it on over a t shirt without being too hot. I don't mind the wash/colour but like I said, think I prefer the first jacket overall. if I had to pick.
Which jacket looks nicer and could be more versatile? Let me know what you think.

Can't answer to which one your prefer as they're basically functionally identical, it's about the fabric you like best. but if you buy the second one you should size up.
I like the sizing of the first one better if it’s between these exact jackets.
Otherwise it doesn’t make a difference in styling imo.
Actually I maybe personally like the look of the left one better.
i think i like right but it's a coin toss, follow your heart. th lef twill probably eventually look more like the right with washes and wear maybe
