Love my v1. The Ultimate denim Jacket imho.

Been waiting on this fella for over a year…...if I want to discuss sizing is this the best place to do that?

[Chris]

Yep.  This is the best thread for any and all discussion, sizing included.

Cool. Gotta go home and do some measuring. The first time I inquired about the jacket I think Giles suggested a xxxl. I have a feeling it'll be too big on me now, lost some weight since then. I have a superblack riders jacket in xxl/44 and it's a touch big on me at this point. I also have a uhf in xl and that may be a touch big on me, but not too bad.

When I get home I'll take some measurements and pics, see what we can figure out.

@Tdre977 - these looks very similarly sized as the IHJ-46, which I have. I went Up one size from my "normal" IH size. Im probably a "Large and a Half" in most gear (Large in the 109, XL in 127) and I went with the XXL in the J-46. I, personally,  would do the same with this one.

Hope that helps.

Rule of thumb on a tight jacket like this (Type IIIs are meant to be snug) is to measure your best fitting shirt, and add about .5 to the P2P for layering options. If you plan to wear a hoodie or multiple layers underneath, perhaps add .75 to 1" to the P2P. This has always worked for me on jean/trucker type jackets. Heavier IH Jackets and Coats/jackets I usually add .75-1.25 depending on thickness and what I plan to wear under them.

Good luck, this is an amazing jacket.

Ok, so I've done some measurements and picture taking. My IH-9527J riders jacket is a 44/XXL, I'd say the fit is ok on it, perhaps a touch big in the chest/shoulders, but only a little bit, one of the adjustment buttons on the waist is on he tighter button for a more fitted look.  I would think an Xl would fit.

Next up is my IHSH-102tg in XL. This shirt is definitely big on me.

Have a shot of a Type I I wear a bunch, measured at 23" p2p and 18.5" shoulders.

I tried on what I think is my best fitting shirt, came in at 21" p2p

Not really looking to layer with this jacket. Just want a nice fitted jacket over a t-shirt or a button down.

What size are we thinking here? Sizing is the most nerve wracking shit for me ever.

After thought…I'm 5'9" about and 150-155 lbs. My IH jeans are a 33 waist.

Thanks guys!

Will this stuff still have the .5" of shrink that the V1 did?

[Giles]

I'm thinking it will, but don't know for sure….

Great to see the length on these… 27" on the L is very useful/ versatile [emoji1360][emoji1360]

[deanclean]

Wow. Already sold out in a couple sizes.

[IndigoNoob]

So the large in the v2 has pretty much the same measurements as my leather jacket but that jacket has lining in it so if I wanna layer the lefty with a hoodie most of the time, would it be wise to size up one and hot soak? or would the large be okay?

[Giles]

I think I'd go a size up and hot soak if necessary….

[IndigoNoob]

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Worst case is if I can tell its too big to even hot soak I can return for the large

[Giles]

yep…..

[Tdre977]

Just got mine, pretty sure it's too big…...don't anticipate it would shrink enough even with a hot soak to get it where it needs to be, thoughts?

[deanclean]

Looks like it may be touch big even with a thicker shirt underneath it.

[Tdre977]

Yep, I thought so, and it's my intent to not layer with it at all. Any thought as to how much to size down? This jacket is a brute tho, can't wait to get the right one now.

Got mine today. I was a little worried when I read the new denim was softer because I really liked the first type. All worries put to rest today. This stuff seems just as tough and rigid to me. Anyone on the fence about it should go for it. It rules.
