IH-526J Indigo 21oz Selvedge Denim Type III

[cnjackson]

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...)

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!

Cheers Flo!

Reality check: Can't really justify another indigo type III on top of  the SExIH 22, no matter how awesome/classic the cut… Need the cash for more essential purchases

Putting it for sale - PM if interested!
