See mine in My Favourite Rugged Wear…...

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.

can you post a fit pic 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

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…..

Thanks for the feedback guys and Giles, order for the M is placed. Let's see how it fits, I hope right. I love the feeling of this jacket. I'll post fit pics as soon the M arrives.

[Giles]

Gotcha - will ship today…..

[Concret]

Sweet, looking forward for it…thanks!

[Concret]

I got the jacket in size M, unfortunately the fit was to small, bummer! I just sent both back. Btw, the service from Paula was kind, efficient and fast. Many thanks IH!

[Finn666]

too bad you coudn´t make´em fit mate…now what you gonna try next?

[davito]

sorry to hear, but for sure you will find something that fits you perfectly Concrete  let us know what you are after  I am curious like Finn

[Concret]

Well, its a pity that I couldn't fit them. The fabric was great.
Today I was looking for the Samurai Type III until Max Power told me about Sugar Cane and their cheap prices. I  just checked the measures and it looks fine. Is not a 21oz. but a humble 14.25oz. Problem is that I saw it in Rakuten and they don't take PayPal, anyone had any experience buying from them with credit card?
