      Great, some decent evo on one of these….

        G, what was the thought process behind having the Beatle Buster Patch inside these?

          I wanted it to be different from the patch in the 526J. As simple as that…..

              Any chance of an OD version ever being made?

                No.  Haraki won't overdye the 18oz it is too unstable….

                  Fair enough, I'll have to save up for the 526od then.

                    in my feeble mind i always took the name as BJ to mean Beat's Jacket & the patch to imply the same. also made it eays to tell the difference, not the first & sure won't be the last that i'm wrong on this sort of thing  😞

                      Well there was that, but it was actually primarily chosen for it's association with another more common 2LA

                            Well people from LA do specialize in BJ's so I am a bit confused. SF ALL DAY! 😉

                                        This jacket is growing on me daily, but I have sizing issues.

                                        Going by the table, I would prefer the length and arm of an XL, but the width of an L.  Giles' fit pics (wearing an XL) would confirm this - I'm almost as tall as him but don't eat as many pies  😛  so I'm a bit skinnier.

                                        Any ideas how I could get a round this? I'm wondering if getting an XL and trying to stretch the length after soaking might work.

                                        I don't have any other IH jackets to compare.

                                          "on a type III the arms and body have to be too short."

                                          thats the thing and thats why we all wear jackets which looks like they belong to our sons ^^.

                                          and no, you cant stretch it. it even gets worse with washing and when the denim creases as well.

                                            Yes I know the body is always short on a Type 3, but I'd like the arms to be a decent length.  When I mentioned stretching them, I was more meaning preventing shrinkage after soaking, so they maintain their unsoaked length.

                                            Maybe I'm hoping for something that just ain't gonna happen. If only this jacket had the measurements of the cord type 3, I would be set….
