        Ok I'm waiting on the restock to happen..I asked my wife to buy it for me as a Xmas present.  I'm in a pickle because I also want a pair of boots but unfortunately we can only afford one or the other.

        I should get complete restock before Xmas….

            just saw kiya had a large in stock and pulled the trigger…. was a rough decision between the M and the L. My last type III was a levi's raw in M, but measured today and it is spot on with the Ironheart L....  hope I made the wise decision as I like these pretty fitted and I'm fairly thin

            wear L in all iron heart tops, some roomier than others....
            6'6" tall, true 40" inch chest and normally between 17.5"(absolute minimun) and 18.5" maximum on my shirt shoulders. my old typeIII has 18.5" shoulders so I would imagine this will allow for any layering.. etc...

                recieved my Ih526j from kiya yesterday… im gonna try to get some fit pics posted to see what the general consensus is. The chest is pretty much on point, with a tshirt just a bit of room, with a midweightt flannel its pretty tight... when moving arms in the back stretches tight across the shoulders... I might have been able to get away with a medium.... but, my sleeves are already sitting about an inch and a half from where past Type III have sat (my old levis American made type III sat just above my thumb knuckle on my wrist, this is well above my wrist). The odd thing is that in measurement the two jackets measure EXACTLY the same... Could these differences be do to the 21 oz denim not having a chance to relax yet?

                    Sleeves are too short in my opinion, but I think an XL would swallow you. I'm thinking the vest would be the way to go for you..

                          Not sure if it is your style, but the IH-527J has much longer arms….

                            Probably a long shot, haven't had to do it with heavy weight material but think there is any chance I would get any stretch out if the sleeves if I got them wet and did the step and pull method?? Don't really have the possibility of returning it cause my son got destructive while I wa in the shower this morning and yanked the sales tag off of it.

                              Nope.  And in fact when the elbow creases form, it will ride higher up you arm…

                                Yes I figured that to be the case… And I've always been a type III kinda guy I love them. Have had several in the last 13 years. It's a staple in my wardrobe.. The 527 is nice but just not me.

                                  I'd just rock it with the short sleeves, as long as you don't wear a long sleeve shirt underneath it, it shouldn't look to0 weird. But I dig the Frankenstein look!

                                    Yeah… I don't think I can justify a jacket of that price not fitting proper... I'm sure ill find a buyer

                                      BTW G… just putting this out there (though I doubt it will happen) but If you and H ever decide to run a Frankenstein arm length  on the IH -526J you can count on selling me your first one… Man, I LOVED the build of this jacket... still upset it didn't work out

                                        How long are your arms? Maybe you should try 526jod in xl. It's as fitted as a 526 in large, but the sleeves are 3,5 cm longer. I have pretty long arms, too. 526jod work very well for me…

                                        why so serious?

                                          I'm in the same boat. I have an XL 536Jod and the fit is spot on for my monkey arms.

                                            I'd go for an extra inch in the arms too. I just measured my current type III I wear and the arms are 27". Every other measurement is spot on to the xl. Wanted to pick one up when they're restocked, any chance the arms on any of the next batch might have an extra 1"/1.5" in one of the xl?
