IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker

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!!!
-
Oh man! I had heard rumblings of March…However, it is what it is, I had this bad boy in a XXL and realized I needed to size up to a XXXL so I have been patiently waiting till then.
Well, if its September then I will wait till then. This jacket is what I have been waiting for given my height and arm length and having felt the construction of it in XXL, I am just happy there will be a restock at all
Thanks for making such amazing pieces fellas...and reminding us Americans that patience is a virtue we have forgotten
-
I couldn't agree more Dstauffer. I went with the XXL because there wasn't a XXXL in stock. It fits great unbuttoned with a tshirt underneath. I'll be tempted to get a second in XXXL when it's available. Best denim jacket I have ever owned or that anyone could own as far as I'm concerned

I own a few pairs of IH jeans, and they are by far the best denim I have ever worn. Honestly, I cleared out pretty much all of my other jeans after getting into my first pair of IHs
However, I was a little apprehensive about a denim jacket that cost more than the jeans I loved so much. But given the extra length in the body and sleeves for this particular model, I figured I had to at least give it a try. My feelings upon trying the jacket on were the same as yours: "Best denim jacket I have ever owned or that anyone could own as far as I'm concerned"
It was tough to send it back, but given my size I knew an XXL would not be the jacket for me in the long run given the potential issues with any shrinkage. I almost kept the XXL to just tide me over till the XXXLs were restocked
Sorry to go on and on, but I love this jacket and am so excited IH is making it (and restocking it, even if its looking like it will be 9 months out)…I suppose I'll just keep checking my inbox and the website everyday with my fingers crossed in the hopes that it may restock early
In the mean time, any pics of you all with your 526L jackets are welcome to help tide me over till I can order one of my own

I am so happy to say I picked up this bad boy off the forum in XXXL, and I am glad I held out for the bigger size. I just got it today and it is by far the best denim jacket I have ever gotten my hands on and I'm so happy IH put this out with a longer arm/body length for tall dudes like me. I dare say it's the perfect denim jacket. I honestly don't know if I'm ever gonna take thing off…hell, I might even sleep in it!
Keep up the good work fellas and thanks for making something that's worth getting excited over!
-
Glad it arrived safe and that you like it dude!!
