IH-526J Indigo 21oz Selvedge Denim Type III
-
Hey guys, I've been lusting after one of these jackets for quite a while now but I've been having some issues with sizing I wanted to sort out before taking the plunge. I'm confused on the shoulder measurement. I've measured my Levi's type III just like the how-to post describes (measuring from the top of the shoulder to the center of the collar and then to the other shoulder). If I'm doing it correctly, my size S Levi (18.5") would equate to a size L in IH. I've never worn a L in anything! Does this seem right to you guys?
A little more info, I'm 5'8" 160lbs with a chest of 40"
Sorry to ask another sizing question but thanks in advance for any help!
-
I'd go with a 38 or medium, but better double check with Giles…
-
Thanks, that was what I was thinking, I just really don't want to order a jacket that is too small!
-
As long as you're doing point-to-point measurements as per the guidelines, trust your tape measure….not the labels!
I've got a pair of Levi's 501's that are tagged 34 waist but when laid out flat after extended wear are almost a 37" waist. Don't trust the tags.

Thanks for the responses guys!
-
Another question for you guys who have had the jacket for a while. Have you noticed any stretch in the shoulders as it breaks in? I feel like my Levi's definitely stretched out in the shoulders and chest a little bit since I first got it. It is made from a much lighter denim though. Thoughts?

I hear ya jek, my levis was very slim fitting the first 6 months or so but turned into a real saggy ol hag overnight when the makeup wore off.. looks like a potato sack now, Ive been holding out for the Leftie trucker for SOOOOO long now… cant wait to have a heavy weight III that can take the abuse

^thats because it's fucking awesome
-
Yeah, great look, Brov.

I just got one! I just joined the forum too! This jacket is the first piece Of IH wear that I now own, but it definitely won't be the last. I was very worried about the sizing when I ordered it, but when it arrived I was thrilled! It fits like it was made for me. I had to order a XXXL from Self Edge because unfortunately,there weren't any available here at Ironheart and I just couldn't wait for a restock. I kept looking at it over and over. It was killing me, so I pulled the trigger and I coudn't be happier with it!!!

Oh I'm smiling! Thanks Giles.

DItD, fitpic, or it didn't happen. Welcome to the forum, By the way, and as someone else on here says repeatedly, "enjoy the addiction."

Love the jacket but the fit looks a little big IMO, I know I'm in the minority here , but I prefer a more traditionally fit type III ORocks. Irregardless of my opinion rock it with your own style man, it's a beautiful piece. I can not wait to own a Real Ih denim TYpe III that fits me proper
