IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

[manufc10]

Good god this thing looks amazing.  If I didn't have the 14oz overdye type III one of these would be en route to AZ.  This thing is going to produce some great fades.

For anyone not familiar with the 19oz lefty fabric it's very beefy for It's weight.  It feels much heavier and thicker than the 19oz suggests IMO.  When I compare my 19oz lefty jeans to my 18oz vintage jeans its like night and day even though there is only one ounce difference.  Much tighter weave and burly feel to the fabric.  The 19oz also feels heavier and warmer than the 21oz flagship fabric.

Thanks for the info Manu, glad it will be a beefy and warm jacket, 3 season jacket.

I think the XL looks perfect on ya @Alex

[Hematoma]

Were no smalls produced or did you change the size labels due to how they came out?  Looks like I can probably do a M but just curious…and need to decide between this or the 101J.  Tough call!!!

I too think the trim fit of the XL looks sharp, although the XXL isn't bad either.

This jacket looks great! I love this od stuff. Lenght is great. Little worried about the waist and chest though.

@Sam
Did you still have some room left in the waist and chest with size L? Would like to see how XL fits you…

I think I preferred the XXL on @Alex …. XL seems a little short and makes his top half seem smaller than it is. Great looking jacket either way.

Agreed.  I would probably go XXL on this one as well.

This is the last IH piece I will be getting for a while, this time I will stand by this statement.

I personally think this is the ultimate IH jean jacket, but that is me. I loved my 21oz OD but wanted a little more body length and pockets to make it work…and here it is! Can't wait till next week, the wife might not be happy...what am I saying? She won't ha.

No, because the OD process was going to shrink the fabric, so S would have ended up at XS which I def did not want.  As you say M should equal S

Very nice need.  @Alex, what's your height and chest, please?  Also, would @Giles go XL or XXL?

We think giles would go L: @Alex:

Giles is in China, so it is hard to know for certain - I usually am one size up from Giles and can button up the XL just fine with a UHF.

That said, I am sure that he could wear an XL, in a similar way to the two pics of me above both 'work' in different ways (albeit the sleeves definitely too short on an XL.
Over a T he would be an L, over an UHF, he may be an XL but we cannot know for sure at the moment.

@Signal11 For me the waist was perfect… a little bit of room but not so much that it would flap around. The chest was roomier but i was only wearing a T-shirt so that's also good news for me because i'd like the option to layer it with a jumper or a UHF.

Hope that helps!

Thanks @Sam 
I think L is too snug for me. I am 6'1" with 42" chest and 32.5" waist.
Maybe a small XL…

[Max Power]

I'm of similar build - L would be too snug for me. XL should be perfect

[Sam]

Yeah, i'd agree with you. My waist and height is similar but my chest is more like 39"

[Signal11]

Thanks guys. 

[JDelage]

Lovely piece but likely to be too long on my 5'9" frame. I think I'll stick to "unmodified" jackets.

Also agree. The xl looks kinda tight on @Alex but the xxl looks perfect

I agree that the XXL is perfect on Alex, but I know type III purists like them a bit shorter.  Most of my UHFs are 29"-30", so I definitely prefer the little bit of extra length.
