IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
Thank you @Giles for the update and for the incredibly helpful comments here–-thanks @Lowlander. I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait for the shorter 22oz because I too am inclined to wear it more like a shirt over a tee. Tom Petty put it right, "The waiting is the hardest part…"

Would anyone like to compare this jacket with the 22oz OD without pockets? Anyone (crazy enough to) have both? (I could be that crazy, just not yet.) I'm inclined to wait for the shorter in length/no pockets 22oz version. Is that one being restocked in sight of this one? That would make it more fun and torturous to decide.
I own the IH-526-22OD and have first had experience of the IH-526L-OD having had two rounds with the world tour jacket.
The first differences that occur to me are:
1. The denim. The 19oz LHT is stiffer when new and has a coarser hand than the even, smooth and somewhat supple 22oz
2. The overdye and fading. The 22oz has a deeper matte black colour at first, it appears more even. The 19oz is a “colder” black. The 19oz fades quickly to white at exposed points, while the 22oz, while also fading quite quickly goes through blue first. I am not far enough along with my 22oz to say anymore.
3. The fit. The difference in length is noticeable. If you are wide across the shoulders and chest the jacket you need can come up quite long. It is great for slender folks and for those who enjoy layering type III’s over shirts. The 22oz is much more traditional in it’s cut, shorter (without being too short), and a nice width too.
Anything else you would you like to know?

Thanks so much @neph93. I think you've covered all my questions. Not being particularly tall, I've discovered that the modified 526s can be sized down if I can fit the p2p. But I've discovered that I wear the jackets more like a shirt or CPO. I'm more confident than ever that waiting for the 22oz is my ticket. Having another few weeks to find the cash is a good thing too. This Forum is so helpful, thanks to all.

Sorry if this has already been covered off, but is the fabric the same as in the IHSH-178? Just wondering if I can justify getting this as well when the 178 is a stubborn SOB.

Ok, great. So in terms of fades etc it should be pretty different.

Different in many ways. Texture, weight, drape, fade, weave. Everything except the colour really and even that isn’t 100% the same.

Welp. Had to size up on this one. The sleeves and a lot of other things were too small. Here’s the new one and last one! If you need a XXXL, why haven’t you dm-ed me!?

Great fit, Wlemon!
I think I need to go XL on this instead of Large, but am on the fence. My only other IH type III's are cord and whipcord so kinda apples to oranges vs this stout 19oz denim.
Neph, you know everything which one would you guess? (Only half joking!)Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

This one runs small in my opinion. I am normally a xxl and the sleeves were too small and other measurements were too small as well. I take a xxl in most of the other type 3s, too. Anyway, I’ll let The Godfather (@neph93) take it from here.
-
Ha! @Dishelveled @Paul9221 @Wlemon it is pretty slim in all horizontal measurements, but quite long in the body. If you are wide over the shoulders and chest you need to size up.
Kevin, I’d say it would be best on you in your normal size, but I know you are an advanced level Layer Boss so you may need want to size up for that. The good news is that the layering mitigates the extra length.

Appreciate all the advice, gentlemen! I've reached out to the stubborn crew and worst case I can always return and exchange.
