IH-526J Indigo 21oz Selvedge Denim Type III

[Jestre]

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…..

@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?

….keep it! Fit is perfect imho!

[Concret]

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?

[Mild7]

^ Concret, ive bought from Rakuten many times with my cc without issue.  It may however depend on which particular vendor you are buying from.. not sure.

[Megatron1505]

I recommend using e2nd.net for buying through Rakuten.

[Mild7]

^ this.
Or Akaido, Bears or Vari. I've had good success with all 4.

[FurattoHeddo]

^One caveat though, Vari won't declare lower values on the customs form …

[Chris]

I'll vouch for Vari, 2nd and add Rodeo Bros.  Good experiences for me with all three.

[Concret]

Thanks for the useful tips fellas. Now debating between a Sugar Cane from Rakuten or a Flat Head from DC4.
We can go back to the topic, sorry!
