IH-526Jod - Overdyed Type III

[grandmasterben]

ok guys, I'm planning on selling my medium.  just don't wear it enough in socal (will it ever be cold here?) hit me up, i'll be posting it soon in my sales thread!

That would be a mistake Ben. That jacket is one of the best fitting pieces I've seen you wear. Don't do it!

(I do understand living somewhere that feels like it's never gonna get cold - right now the idea of even wearing long-sleeve workshirts feels insane).

Shit man, as long as it took me to get ahold of mine, I have not plans of getting rid of it. Granted, I just moved to San Diego and I'm hoping I get to wear it in the winter a little.

You have no worries, san diego will be just fine for this…. it's noticeably cooler there when you compare it to OC/LA which is where I'm at!

[seawolf]

Well, that's great news!

Hey Giles.  Any  more updates on a re-run?  Was thinking about some of those modified(longer) type III's but the measurements on this gem are perfect.  Thanks.

Right @Giles, let's be clear. I want this jacket, I will have this jacket.Pennies are saved, northern Norway is getting warmer and I'm excited.

I have never worn or owned a type III, nor any other denim jacket, in my life so I have no point of reference here at all.The plan is, I'm going to throw a load of factoids at you and you'll come up with the perfect size for me, then I'll give you loads of cash. Deal?

• I'm 6' and weigh about 210lbs.
• IH shirts I own:
  IHSH-95 - XXL (hot washed and tumble dried for the best fit).
  IHSH-64 - XL (comfortable fit over a tee or henley)
  IHSH-106 - XXL (layered over a tee or henley would have to size up to layer as a true sjacket)
  IHSH-67 - XL (I could have got away with a L here because I wear it alone without a tee)
• I'm usually one size bigger that you in shirts
• I'd like to wear this with a tee, henley or thinner shirt under, not double layered.
• I'm looking for a traditional type III fit (assuming I understand what that is correctly)

Based on all this, having read the forum posts thoroughly, and site measurements I'm thinking an XXL. But I'm worried I'm missing something (it's thick, heavy fabric, I've no idea about how it'll feel on, will I be able to button it and so forth…).

Now do your magic and I'll be eternally grateful.
