IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
Do the sleeves shorten as they honeycomb?
-
@T4920 Hmmm thanks you're probably right. Maybe the XL would be a bit big and look funny with how stiff the jacket will be?
Just noticed that my superblack is a size 40 when I am normally a 42 to 44 in other denim jackets/shirts.

Hey gang, I need some help with sizing please. I have L for the Superblack 21oz Rider's Jacket but XL for my 16oz Slubby Type III's. Any suggestions for the 190z lefty? I was thinking go L and then hot soaking the shit out of it.... Much thanks!
-
Go of the measurements rather than size.
The 16oz Slubby is a softer fabricAs 19oz is very heavy to start with.
otherwise if it to tight you will struggle move in.Half inch bigger would be playing it safe, if your soaking it

@El-Fanatico what @Kasi said
-
@Kasi yep! im very wabi sabi with my clothes and they just reflect everyday for me. Too much effort to do extra just to chase extreme fades. I got a few years left in me, fades come with life right
-
Final question while trying to figure out sizing (maybe ha), how much shrinkage do these have in them?

Compare the size chart on this jacket to the one that's OD. That will give you the absolute maximum shrink you could get, but know that home washing, even a very violent one, may not produce as much shrinkage as the OD process. Reading this thread shows maybe 50% of this about is possible if you try hard to do so.
-
@pechelman that's good info. Looking at the OD chart I'd say the XL in OD would be perfect.
Just measured up my superblack that feels a little snug around the shoulders/back.
Shoulders 18.5
Chest 22
Length 25
Waist 21.4
Opening 19.2 -
@jordanf XL would probably look a bit odd at first but I have no doubt if you wore in it enough it would look much better once it moulded to your body (although this monster will take years to have any sort of drape)
It depends what kind of a fit you want in the end, I personally prefer a more tailored fit and adore my slim fitting Overdyed Lefty (despite not being able do the bottom button up) whereas @Oaktavia is the king of making a more oversized fit look absolutely killer.
Do what feels right for your own personal style, but don't overthink it too much, I don't think it'd be impossible to look bad wearing this jacket

I own a Slubby Type II (!) in XL myself and ordered an XL for the Lefty after taking the measurements and following thee advice given from Bailey. Maybe that helps? You can still give it a hot soak if it‘s too big.

they do, only hemming and repairs
