How long have you used your jacket?

[Yury]

Hi guys,

Just received my size S IH-526J denim jacket and I don't know if I chose the right size, 5'8 145 lbs but maybe a bit short…what do y'all think?

Sam,  I am in Japan, but I saw your email to Paula last night, I am sure she will drop you a mail today.  Giles

Hi! Wet the sleeve and pull by 0.5 inches and will be fine.

[grandmasterben]

That is absolutely your size. Your t shirt looks a bit long which is throwing off the length (although it is supposed to be short) try finding a shorter tee or tucking in a shirt.

[rocket]

^yep, I like the fit…

[jock1624]

I went with the lefty trucker jacket , since it is longer and has pockets . Grandmasterben and Yury have good points.
Hope it works for you .

I'd say rock it. It's not going to shrink any.

PS: I did some modifications to make it look cooler if you like you can reverse it. Added cool red tab on front pocket and got riveted with original LVC rivets at arms (see pictures)

Quick question–is the 526J cut larger than the 526Jod? I mean--is a Med 526J deliberately bigger than a Med 526Jod? (trying to make sense of the measurements for each...)

[sabergirl]

I'm pretty sure the overdye process shrinks the denim.  And they're using regular 526j and just dipping 'em.

That's really interesting–thanks Sabergirl! so it is the same jacket, it just gets smaller. Does the OD then stretch out again after a while?

[sabergirl]

All denim stretches.  My OD jeans have stretched.  I think jackets probably stretch less than jeans because they don't undergo the same stress from sitting, or other movements.  I've never had any Iron Heart Type IIIs though, so I can't speak to that, at all.

Thanks again, sabergirl. Makes sense, what you say. Looking forward to trying one of these jackets!

sabregirl is correct on all counts….

BOOM landed a 526j almost by accident! Many thanks to @hajduk for the kickass service!

Can't believe I thought this would be overkill, the classic type III is such a super well balanced cut…..I'm converted

Bonus pic, 3 type IIIs  (no pun)competing for wear now

Sorry for the super grainy pics

Great fit & collection there!
