IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker
-
Im more than a little late to the party on this beauty, but just ordered one. I wasnt sure about going with XXL or XXXL. Giles helped with some decision making along with 56 pages of posts. After all that I went with the XXL because it was in stock. I have a feeling as soon as I put it on Ill know if I should size up. Ill post some fit pics and you guys can let me know what you think.

Been wearing this as much as possible recently and still no signs of softening
I got mine the day before my son was born, so August 25th, and mine is much, much softer now. I saw this picture and tried to stand mine up, but there's no chance. I do wear mine a lot and, as I don't work in an office I often have it on my back for pretty much the whole day.
In stalker news: I actually saw you and your little tribe on Berko High St over Christmas. We both had our truckers on and you looked directly at me. You looked at my jacket too, but I had a Baby Bjorn with a small human strapped to my front so you probably didn't clock what it was. I would have said "Hi", but I was with the other half and we were on a festive mission. She would have mercilessly ripped the piss as well had I stopped and started talking 'Internet denim'.
Next time…

I thought that was IH but yeah could quite make it out! Haha my Mrs would of probably chuckled too if we had stopped in Berko high street to talk internet denim.

My XXL arrived today. Super fast I might add. Here are a few fit picks. I just had a tshirt underneath. I don't plan on soaking it so it may work, but I would appreciate any thoughts from you guys. I'll ask the wife too, but just to humour her.
-
Looks good. Not too short or long and u can button which is always a nice thing. Shoulders & sleeves look perfect
I'll ask the wife too, but just to humour her.
I couldn't of said it better myself, hahahahaha

haha ya it did eventually button up. I had a tough time even unbuttoning it out of the blue bag! Thanks @madmonday I agree with you on length of body and sleeves. Its a little tight in the chest, but I think if I sized up then the other measurements may get too big. consensus seems like it doesnt stretch, but i think if it stretched just a little in the chest it would be perfect.
-
I think it looks great and it does stretch a wee bit to me. I think you made the correct choice now where the shit out of it!!!!! Oh yea and I had calluses on my thumb from trying to button it haha
-
Thanks for the help you guys. I just tried it on again and I'm thinking now that I may have to size up. I can barely bend over when its buttoned up. Plus im not sure I should be breaking into a sweat when trying to get it on!
-
Looks good. I wouldn't size up.
-
Neither would I.

@Streetwise Hercules @spitfiredealer @Giles @4C Thanks a million for the advice. I wore the jacket outside for a walk yesterday so I now officially own it!
-
If anyone is looking for a used XL - I have one in the sale forum. It never fit me, so i'm afraid it's time to let it go.
-
At least my jacket can keep me company at the bar while my wife is watching a vampire program
-
Perfect, but I do suggest to do warm soak!!!! Congratulations!!!
