IH-526J Indigo 21oz Selvedge Denim Type III

[Concret]

Dear Rocket, your and Alex enthusiasm and fit, made my decision easier. I will cop. But evo pics always make the way prettier :;)

I hear you Concret… but as said here before I'm Captain Slowfade, so not me...

Here's my 526j with a bit of evo, taken last year, not sure how long I'd had it at the time.

Hasn't had as much love as it should this year, been wearing my IHD-01od too much.

Looks great!

[Concret]

That's what I'm talking about! Thanks D97x7, lovely jacket indeed… Some other 526J hero?

[Finn666]

you could be our 526J-hero Paul, so go ahead and cop and post your own evo in this thread my friend

[Concret]

That's in the plan Rafa!

it was this that made me bought mine.

I just got my 526J today, size L. How suppose is the fit on this jacket? Shoulder, arms and length fits just right. Chest is ok, maybe a bit roomy, but is good for eventual layering. The bottom is just to big, I have to develop a beer belly to fit it right. Im contemplating to change it for a M, but according to the measures in the IH webshop, the M would fit me overall on the tight/short side, except on the bottom. (?)

[crankyfart]

your main concern is usually the shoulders and chest area. if these 2 are fine then you are good to go.

[rocket]

can you post a fit pic Concret…

[Concret]

Here you go, sorry for the poor quality photos, was late and i just had my phone at hand, but you can make an idea.

Like i said, chest, arms, shoulders and length are fine. Is the bottom opening that is too big. I think i have to suck it, the M would be to small or not? A type III should be fit slim, right?
For reference, I have a IH-SH33 in L and the fit is spot on, slim as it should.

Exchange for M?

It looks like a size down would be the best option.  A type III should fit like an extra layer of skin… made of denim.

I vote for 1 size down also.  Still, looks nice

[rocket]

with the guys, not a bad fit with the option of layering or go one down for the classic Type III fit as Jestre said… and the pics are fine btw...

personal I would try a M...

Size down.  If the other measurements do no work, then this particular Type III is not for you.  Personally I like a super snug fit, it that means the arms are too short, I live with it…..
