IH-526Jod - Overdyed Type III

[johanhej]

Thanks for quick response!

I have a leather jacket which I measured. The fit of this one is just great when worn over a hoodie. It's a medium rocknblue. I seem to be somewhere between M and L in most brands.

P2P=55 cm
Bottom opening=48
Shoulder=48 (might be able to do with slightly narrower here)

Should I expect the jacket to stretch a little? I'm guessing a denim jacket should be worn a little smaller than a leather jacket. Also, regarding the arms, are they pretty regular in width?

EDIT: The leather jacket might have wider p2p on paper than it's appearance, due to the extra leather in the back (motorcycle cut i think). It's fairly snug over chest when i pull shoulders back.

EDIT2: Tracked down a Levis 72510 jacket in size M. Believe this is their standard fitting size. It's too big in chest and around stomach. It measures 56cm p2p and whopping 52cm shoulder.

Man do I want that overdyed jacket (in a fitting size :)). The shoulder measurement really concerns be on the 526Jod. It doesnt look that narrow on the pictures though. I have relativly narrow shoulders for me length, but 43 cm on the 38 seems really slim.

Any other 6 footers wearing the 38?

Only XS and XXL are available so it doesn't seem you have much choice in the matter!  I've been on the lookout for a used one of these for awhile, but doesn't seem like people want to get rid of them.

May or may not have something exciting come in…so stoked

This thing is amazing! It fits me way better than my last type 3 and this one gives me the classic look that I've come to like so much.

That looks effing cool Ben and you've nailed the fit.

Clean style and clean gums by the looks of it too.

Haha, thanks guys! I'm really stoked that this is cut exactly in the different ways that I was hoping according to the measurements. Happy days….been thinking about this one for a while!

Yepp. Fit looks nice. Amazing how dark it is out of the box.

Nice fit - did you get it off of B&S or did Giles locate one in your size?

Got lucky and found it on sufu

Has to be, right?

Perfect fit on the 526, Ben.

Thanks Sean! Got a new addition, need some advice… Should I move the patch up a bit or do you guys think it's good?

I would rock it across the bottom of the jacket. Just my .02 though, I think aesthetically it will line up to the bottom better because of the natural alignment if the letters at their base rather than the lack of uniformity at the top. Will just be a better compliment. I think if the letters were on a curved base you would be okay at the top but because they move straight horizontally it's working against the lines of the jacket. Hope that makes sense to you.

I would move it up a bit…

Please don't do it.

Sorry man, but that is cringe-worthy.
