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

@going_to_battle what you said about the ODG caught my eye. Make sure that you check the size charts and buy based on measurements and not based on your usual size. I tend to go medium or large but had to size up to XL in the ODG. Just wanted to make sure you get the correct size with the Lod.
The ODG was actually one that I bought in person (from Rivet & Hide). It fitted really well. The problem was, I bought it in July last year, on the hottest day in UK history! So I was only wearing a thin t-shirt underneath. I tend to wear a Large in IH items but bought an XL as it felt like the right fit, so I’m not against buying unusual sizes. I actually think the ODG has a very slim fit (I’ve read that elsewhere and the measurements seem to back it up).
I have learned that I need to think carefully about what I plan to wear under my jackets. It’s ok to have summer jackets but I think I’d wear my next type III jacket in autumn and spring, with maybe a couple of layers or an UHF.

My first type III is three seasons. I now have a summer type III, and a two season type III that I’ll be able to use as a four season type III under my slightly large N-1.

I would do the same as you, except I also have about ten other jackets, mostly Indigofera, e.g. Grant jacket for summer, Kurt chore jacket, Copeland and Fargo shirt-jackets, and also Filson short lined cruiser, Iron Heart N1 deck jacket, etc. So I've probably already got all bases covered and don't really need another jacket… but I'd like a type III. I just need to make sure it fills a niche purpose in my wardrobe.
And I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes my go-to day-to-day jacket.

I try to size my type IIIs so that I can wear a T-shirt and a flannel or hoodie under the jacket. I find that even if I only wear a T underneath, they still look good when I size that way. I do live in a warm climate though. YMMV.
Good tip, thanks.
I know some people like the style of very small type III jackets that they can barely do up, but I think I've reached the stage in my life where I'd rather have something more practical…. without it being oversized. In otherwords, a good fit

That'd be me….

The ODG whipcord is also the only IH I bought in person (also R&H) and I’m glad I did because of the slimmer fit. They suggested to size up to XXL instead of my regular XL. Love that jacket. I can’t wait to start wearing it over my brand new IHSH-33B.

Does the Crew still wear their "normal" sizes? For example, do you, @Alex, still wear a XXL?
-
Haha. Thank you @AdamJ. Like herding cats no doubt.
-
I'm trying to get the sizing right on this one since I've waited for so long. I have a XXL in the IH-526PJ, and it seems like the XXL in this will work; however, when I measured my IH-526PJ, the waist came up 21.5, a bit bigger than the pub chart. Maybe I should just email you all and sort this out there rather than airing personal info.

I’m just giddy. Please excuse my boorishness.

I would ask how long a plane flight to Gosport would take, but I know Americans can’t travel to the UK now.

The (updated) measurements on this jacket looks very interesting…
M would be just right with a T shirt, and L with a shirt/thin sweater. Such hard choices.
The shorter sleeve/length of this jacket is making me to jump with joy!
I have my 555-01OD arriving tomorrow...this may have to be next...decisions decisions... -
+1 , Yes , shorter sleeve length !!!!!
