IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
I dont have a preference. Does the jacket has hand warmers? I am afraid that the xxxl will be too small. My actual chest measurement is 48 inches, so i am thinking i need a p2p around 25. I maybe wrong. This will be my first denim jacket so not really sure.
-
The 19 oz has them the 220z doesn't. I find I use them all the time. It's a personal thing, though.
Also, measure the jackets you have. That will give you a better sizing idea.

Thank you so much. My jackets are 25.2 inches p2p and fit kinda snug. I do like a fitted look. I recently bought the ih-888s-od pants in size 36 and love them. What is a left twill? I am clueless obviously. Also is the jacket pretty soft? I was surprised of how soft the pants were, considering the 21oz weight.

There is a primer on the difference between the twills.
As for being soft, this denim will be soft one day (ask @neph93 about the 'tour jacket') but it is rather stiff when you first get it. I'm still breaking in mine and it is getting softer but it's still rather stiff at the moment.

This is also good, obvi.

Thank you man. I appreciated. I will go for it. Pretty sure i will love it. Thanks again

Good morning! The guys have been taking good care of you I see. Just to repeat/clarify one or two things… always go by garment measurements rather than body measurements. Comparing with a jacket that fits you well is the best way to judge the correct size.
Sleeves on IH shirts and jackets are often a little long. With the heavier types III’s you can expect them to shorten a little with wear as thick creases form at the elbow, and stay there.
As mentioned earlier there are differences in the denims IH produce. The 21oz is legendary for its softness. The 19oz LHT will get soft but it takes time.
-
Thank you Neph , thats what i did. I measured a jacket that fits me right using the IH measuring guide and xxxxl seems to be the right size. Also good to know that the sleeves will shorten slightly with use. Initially they will be about 0.5 of an inch too long.
Again Thanks to everybody for jumping in and help me make the right decision. -

@Nemph. Definitely keeping both. The only reason i may send back is if i screwed up the size but i dont think i did.
They will be the only denim jackets i own. The rest of my jackets are….. well just jackets lol. Not denim. Really curious to see the difference between the 2. What got me into IH in all honesty is a pair of IH 888s-od that i bought recently size 36 and love them. I am looking to get another pair maybe different cut, just not sure what would be another good fit. -
301 and 555 are my faves.

Wanna go for a lower rise actually. The 888 has a relatively high rise so was thinking something different. What scares me is the thigh measurement on size 36. And if i go 38 to get the thigh right the waist will be big. I need a minimum of 13.3 inch thigh measurement and that will be tight but if it streches to 13.6 or so i am good. I am good all the way to 14 inch thigh and still have a slim look. What you think?
-
Was looking at 634. Are they lower rise? Also was looking at the No lot i guess? Not sure if i said it right. Looks like it has a 13.2 or 13.3 thigh at 36 size which is border line doable but hoping to stretch to 13.6 or so. I think that has a lower rise also but not sure
-
The 777 has the lowest rise of all IH cuts, the 634 next lowest. It varies a little between iterations though. You’ll get 0.3” stretch at the top of the thigh on 21oz OD, but not necessarily on other IH denims. The NO-LOT is an outlier, compare the rise on it to the 777 and 555. If it is closer to the 777 it is low, closer to the 555, not so much.
-
Thank you sir. You have been extremely helpful. 634 is the sure bed. I checked the 301 but the thigh looks sketchy.
Thanks again!
