IH-X526J - Black Cotton Duck Type III Jacket

[specmvl]

@veloaudio:

I wear a L in shirts. My x526J is an XL. I'm 6'2"

Sounds good. Cheers!

Was eying an XL yesterday - then they were gone. Now I got weak and tried my luck with an XXL. Normally I'm an L / XL in shirts.

The price is just too good and except for the shoulders I figure this will fit. Was always a fan of black Type IIIs with side pocket. Please cross your fingers that it fits. Will there be tiny bit of shrinkage?

Looks good G..
Arms a bit long though!

[Max Power]

Thanks! I love long arms - pretty confident this will be a perfect fit and allow some layering as well.

[JamesMarg]

You went with the XXL Max??

[fifediesel]

For what it's worth - I'm a XXXL in this while I'm usually an XXL in shirts.  Even have an XL in the IHM-03.

If you are into layering at all sizing up from your normal works pretty well.  I can wear a heavy flannel or a hoodie underneath and the fit is spot on.

Fold the cuffs back, it is pretty standard thing to do on a Type III

[JamesMarg]

I'm looking forward to trying out different things with the jacket, thanks for all your help G.

[JamesMarg]

Hahahaha,
Slightly confused now!

[Max Power]

Yes, I tried XXL. But would have chosen XL if there was one left.

[JamesMarg]

Same deal here.
Im pretty sure we are similar size from our other buys… such as L in the 86 and XL in the 87.
Hopefully this fits!

[Max Power]

Exactly.

[riffblaster general]

thanks G!  this actually looks perfect sized up on you.

I ordered and paid for an XL in this jacket a few days ago, but apparently someone checked out just moments before I did, so if someone has an XL they want to get rid of, I'd gladly take it off your hands. I'd post something in the WTB thread, but I don't have enough posts yet.

Please help this man…..Paula and I feel awful......

Firstly - I love this jacket.  Feckin' awesome - and what a bargain as a Special

Secondly - sorry for all the pics, people.  I geeked out a bit this lunchtime (one of the benefits of working from home)…

With the 79 that arrived at the same time:
