IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
@Goz I had the same question. @Giles mentioned the once soaked the indigo version should be the same or close to the OD measurements. So just look at the OD measurements when they are released and get the one that matches your best fitting jacket, especially if you have a type 3 or similar. I actually don't understand why some say it runs small. The measurements from the old versions compare in size to other IH type 3s. The Lefty jackets seem to look more slim fitting, so maybe that's what people are talking about. I personally like that.
-
@jpvisual compared to the length my OD is slim in the chest and waist. With a layer like a uhf or hoodie I can't button it up. But it's still too long and I am not a short guy. Can't say anything about the indigo, but the 526Lod is my worst fitting jacket but still the most badass looking and I wear it all the time.

@CosmoSix5 it's a great cut for tall guys with an athletic build and wide shoulders. The waist and chest are quite slim in my opinion. Also it's the longest body on any type3 jacket I ever owned. But still a great jacket, even if it's not ideal for me personally it gets a lot of wear in the colder months
-
@FlavourFade - your take is spot on. The XXXL that I sold was really nice. But the chest and waist were too small - couldn’t really button them. Arms long (IH standard) which were great for me. Shoulders perfect (I have broader shoulders), and the length was a little longer than traditional T3 - which again, is what IH does to add pockets - and I love the look too. It’s an incredible jacket. Just didn’t fit my mid section all that well. But if you don’t have a gut, it could work. Check the measurements - as recommended for all pieces

I took my usual size L in this jacket but this definitely fits different. Longer torso and very slim fitting but probably my most flattering jacket as a result.

@grapefruit won't be too long now! ETA was "End April" always add a few weeks on to that!

@bluemantra well, there's still the variable that the od-process for the lefty is not yet clear (see an above post from graham).
and there's the fact that no one of the general public has seen the new selfedge denim yet.
i'm determined to get a type 3 this spring, i'm just not sure if calling in all kinds of favours to get the selfedge jacket to me is justified... -
@tody I was just reading in one of the self edge posts that all 17oz and up is the new direct OD method and lower weight is still sulfur OD method, but I know it's not certain this Lefty OD is the new or old method. If it is the old method I will buy the lefty OD. If it's the new method I will probably pass.
I can't to see more photos and get more details on the self edge collab. I'll be heading there in person to see them and will make a decision then.
WTB IHJ-140-IG size L

@tody further to AJ's reply, Self Edge are in the driving seat for their collabs, we will not be posting any photos of those products unless they do first, I am afraid.
However, I would say that this and the SE collab are pretty different, texture wise theirs is closer to the SLB than the 19oz LHT
-
I have the same debate between the Self Edge and Lefty. I have a Lefty currently that I really like, it’s just quite a bit more snug in the chest and armpits than its non OD cousin (that I also have). I need to size up from my normal XL.
The idea that the Self Edge version is a more slubby material really appeals to me, I love my slubby 888’s. I hope and pray some more details are released on the Self Edge release before the Lefty restocks as I’m sure both of these are going to sell out.
-
@nrtphotos I'm with you. Based on Alex's comment regarding Slub I'm more inclined to wait for the SE. If we're not still waiting for both still lol. It seems like so much is dropping soon. Whatever soon is

I was chatting with the lady who embroidered the mechanics shirt for me. About putting IRON HEART on the back of my next jacket. Anyone have ideas to share via pics?

if one is the old school OD it will fly immediately.

I don't really understand although I did read Graham's comments previously.
What difference does the method of OD dying actually make to the Jacket in the long term !?
