Hi guys, here is the progress on mine. around 60-70 wears and washed 2 times. Really digging this jacket and I am glad the 409 will make a return so I can start the process over further down the line.
First time sharing pictures, so still on the learning curve 
Will keep sharing as it progresses.
So so pleased with this jacket, the best fitting I've ever owned and the slub OD combo is killer. Now I finally get what's the fuss is all about :). Thanks @Shaun for picking up the largest XL.
A couple of poorly taken pictures that barely does the jacket justice.
Hi,
I am a XL in UHF and I can squeeze it in under this jacket. As you noticed the measurements err on the generous side, and the sleeve length would have been too long for the XXL.
That being said if you want to have a full range of motion I'd size up as the heavy fabric can restrain a bit.
Hope that helps
@DeeDee85 I used Mike’s damping method with a water spray 
I wear it, spray at the crease level and maintain my arms folded. Really no need to overcomplicate it I believe
@sabergirl indeed I realize this is not super clear
Here you go, the right side is quite "curved" and makes the front a bit asymetric. it can accentuate even more with movement.
Thanks for the help,
Just got mine, so stocked. Will be some time coming but I’ll appreciate it even more.
Always feeling a bit nervous to pay that much money and not be able to size it first, but I’ll trust the process
Keep the photos coming please so I can can get hyped on the way!
Also want to weigh in ans say that the sleeve length is not an issue as potentially expected given the measurement. can't exactly say why but it's one of the best fitting shirts I own from IH.
@Neru-6 thanks for the input, and indeed I will change to XL as I don't want to sacrifice range of motion as I layer.
@hjl360 It's visible that the lower part curve outwards. No big deal but feel a bit off when still new/rigid as the jacket tends to flare outward.

Hi everyone,
Have any of you gotten a jacket which both sides don't line up? I am not the most OCD person but I have the left side which is quite crooked and I haven't seen it on any other of my type 3s, is it due to the left hand twill? And if any of you has, does it improve with time as the jacket relaxes?
Thanks,
Thanks both for your informative replies, really appreciate you taking the time.
@Darth-fader maybe you posted it earlier in the thread but would you mind sharing your height and weight for comparison?
I feel 44 should work out but I’ve seen a these jackets tend to shrink with use and sadly I can’t ask TJ for a “large 44” like I’d do with IH.
Part of the journey I guess
@nrtphotos hi, would you mind sharing some information on your sizing (especially weight and chest/shoulders)?
I am going back and forth on sizing (between 44 and 46), as I tend to be XL in most IH including UHF. I know 44 should be the way to go but I sometimes feel slightly constrained as I have relatively large shoulders / chest. These 2 are the only dimensions that change between the two sizes and I would want to feel comfortable in the long run. Sizing is always a bit stressful on such an expensive item
Many thanks,

@AdamJ is it normal that the sleeve length and opening dimensions in XXL are actually smaller than in XL?
Thanks!
