Hey all! Got mine about a week after release. Probably have about 10 wears in and it's finally loosening up. It was like sticking my arms into cardboard sleeves after I initially soaked it. I soaked the jacket on warm/hot for about 10 minutes which shrunk it a tad for me. I can get post measurements if anyone requests them (I did take initial measurements but was lazy and haven't taken the new ones yet). My jacket is a 40 and I believe the fit is spot on for me but I only wish the sleeves were a tad longer for when my arms are out (driving mostly).
Here's two pictures of me today grabbing some food. I tried taking some photos with my DSLR a week ago but they didn't turn out very good because the scenery was terrible.

Also, Here's a bonus shot of the jacket standing up on it's own from my Instagram http://instagram.com/p/ks2-oMJr0L/

Nice! Fit looks spot on IMO.

Looks great and slim cadence! Try unbuttoning the cuffs, it usually makes the arms look longer.. Congrats on a great looking jacket!

So I haven't owned a denim jacket since I was in elementary school, but I tried this one on and could see how I could be into it. I'm wearing it over a IHSH-92 (copped) and a t-shirt. The shoulders seem like they might still be wide after a soak, but the other dimensions seem like they would be okay. I'm trying to un-scrawny myself, so it might work out okay. Fit thoughts?

This is unrelated to your fit and an unpopular opinion probably, but modified type 3's look so weird to me. Even if they fit correctly they just looked oversized and like a chore coat….I feel like the sheer simplicity of the type 3 doesn't jive well as a regular fitting coat.
Try on a normal type 3 and make sure that you dig the longer look before you buy that because I have a modified type 3 that looks weird to me now, so I'm going to have to sell at a loss and pick up a classic one. Bummer.

I agree, to an extent Ben. Im 6'4" and love that some of these typeIII's are made longer. Im not into showing my bellybutton lol. But i feel that if you are under 6' or dont have an unusually long torso that the mod III's can def look funny. If your not a tall dude, stick with a reg typeIII guys. If it covers part of your back pockets then its too long. IMO should only cover your belt

Occupant,
I'm biased as I love this jacket, but I think the fit looks great. Wearing mine today with the 92 as well.

Occupant I think it looks ok. If you feel like the shoulders are too wide or the sleeves a little long, it looks like you could fit into a size down. Even with a hot soak, the shoulders on my jacket only shrunk about .5"… You could size down one and only do a cold soak? I guess it comes down to which kind of fit you are looking for, really slim or more relaxed...

Different strokes for different folks and all that shit but this is how I think type 3's look the best…
Imo the type 3 is a classic simple jacket. No whistles or even side pockets, and as such it suits a very unobtrusive and short fit. The modified almost looks like a jacket that was just supersized. I didn't realize that you were 6'6" but I think you could rock the short version no prob. As always though, get what you feel comfortable in
