Great fit there, Rocket. Denim tuxedo suits you very well!

Which size is it?

[rocket]

thanks, 38 aka Medium, my usual size…

Can't decide between a 40 and a 42.think I may say fux it and go with the 40…

[rocket]

whats the size of your superblack vest, would go for the same, if the arm length isn't a issue

[daynym]

Do you want to wear a hoodie underneath? I would go for a xl. My superblack vest was a m and my 526jod is a xl…

[rocket]

the od is a bit smaller, would went for a L in that as well. I wear both, vest and 526J in M and they both fit as they should imo…

[daynym]

True that. But doesn´t shrink the 526j after a wash to the same dimensions as the 526jod has in the beginning?

[rocket]

no, its sanforised…

LANDO U NEED A XL…YOUR ARMS ARE LONG..AND I TRIED THE 40 and 42...the 40 was to short @ sleeves for me!

My sizes on the similar items. And I have tried a 40 in the IH-526J and it works. I am most likely going with a 42 so that it last no matter how much I fluctuate in the next few years. Just thinking out loud really.

IH-9526V - (40 - L)
IH-9527J - (42 - XL)
SExIH07BKIII - (46) Should have gone with a 44

go for an xl,my opinion….the stacks on the sleeves shorten the armlength little with time

Yeah I will most likely get a 42. Oddly enough I have never tried a 42 on in person, only a 40. I wil get the 42 though as it will be washed and I will get larger. I just want to make sure it is not too big with only a T. That is my main concern.

[ALEX1976]

ok dude…yo will do the right thing;-)

@rocket:

I always thought that even sanforized denim shrinks up to four percent.
Furthermore I thought that a 526jod in size xl is a 526j xl, which ran through the od process.
Seeing this a xl might be the better option…

We hot soak all the non OD'd 21oz products to get rid of the shrinkage.

I am pretty sure he takes a 42.

Size of this jacket looks really great to me.  Most guys, I find, wear their jackets too large. This one could be worn like a shirt, and that's how it should be.  Really dig the look a lot, my kudos!
