IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker
-
Says in his sales thread he washed it. Takes a year to decided it doesn't fit properly. Something don't sound right to me.
I know to me also, but things like this happens
Thanks to these guys here from IH, unbelievable!!! BTW what is not sounding right to you XXL measures like L?What doesn't sound right. Is buying a jacket that feels tight straight away then washing it which will make it smaller again. Then waiting a year before claiming it doesn't match the published measurements…
But hey perhaps I am just a cynical bastard IH-2526J
Trust me you are not, I would have never measured it until today when this interested person asked me to measure it instead of pointing to IH measurement page.I was shocked to see the results. Ok when I received it it was hard shelled, I was able to button tho. I thought its stiffness so got few feedbacks here and decided to soak it in cold water and dry it in dryer, jacket was better, I could still button the jacket, i wanted it to stretch these little bit so slept in them for few days also started dieting and exercises to lose some weight but it did not happen, this jacket ended up in closet and i got busy, last month i gave it a last try but it didn't work, so posted here to sell it and now today this person asked me for the measurements gave me real shock, this jacket is almost new but better without that stiffness
have a good one!!! -
[quote and dry it in dryer,
[/quote]It sucks that the jacket has not worked out for you, but this may have contributed to your problem.

Worst thing is "IH-526L"s are out of stock now, tried everything to fit in except measuring it, my head hurts!!!

@rohitsingh sorry IH-526L didn't work out for you. This jacket is being released in double indigo duck and in SBG denim later this summer, so either of those options might work out for you. I think the duck will be especially nice. Just keep them away from the dryer!

Haha!!! Sure superfuzz, and thanks for the update

Unbelievable customer service, far above and beyond the call of duty.
@rohitsingh the problem with the jacket is certainly that you shrunk it in the dryer, sorry but that is what happened.
The published pit to pit measurement is 23.8", you have washed it and put it through a hot dryer, also it is one washed but not sanforised so therefore getting about an inch of shrinkage is not unreasonable to expect.

I am not sure about shrinkage but even before soak it was same fit only thing after wash it got comfortable a bit, also I did not dry it completely in dryer just enough to wear it again so it stretches out an inch while it still wet. Description states "Unsanforized but one-washed, so little or no shrinkage", What ever I should praise IH enough, though I never asked them to return due to these odd circumstances but they still offered help!!! This is all good!!! I wish I had better explanation, it is what it is
-
So it's no longer for sale? Is the pit to pit 23 or 22? If it's 23 I'd be happy 2 grab it. Oh & as far as customer service G$ & the crew always go above and beyond.
So I got this right how long did you own it? Folks shout from the mountain top when it's shifty customer service, but for this great customer service pretty sure we won't hear about it. . .
-
I do want one, got to see what G$ man says.
-
So is the jacket still for sale and what does it measure? I might be intersetd as well.

Apologies but what "SBG" stands for, I am also kinda liking IH-2526J 17oz Brown Cotton Duck Modified Type III Jacket!!!
-
SBG = 21 oz superblack that fades to Grey, like the 555-03 for example.

Got it thanks Max!!!
-
Anyone owns XXL size could post the actual measurements here? Its too painful to let this jacket go away!!!
I am just trying to understand for my next purchase, I took my best fitting G-star jacket and compared this one for measurements … Wish if @Giles surprises me !!! I know everyone here wondering why I did not exchanged this immediately when this was tight BECAUSE XXXL was sold out and only way was stretching this up & in end messed up everything -

If you get the Brown Cotton Duck be sure the check the measurements because it comes up a bit smaller than tagged size IMO.

Thanks Superfuzz!!! Recently got jacket from Railcar Fine Goods, workshop is in neighborhood, it's L and opening is 21.5 and its not snug, that way measurements matches for brown duck, but I am not confident as 526L also suppose to be 21.5, Self Edge is like 9 miles away but they too are out of stock, I prefer indigo denim more … so confused!!!
