IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
Hello folks. New to the forum and to finer clothing in general. I got my first denim jacket in many years a few days ago, and it happens to be a 526L. Figured I’d post the initial fit pic from then. By now I have already worn it for a few days. It is notably less stiff but certainly not soft. This is a small with a UHF underneath. Looking forward to posting progress pictures eventually.

How great are these? Its been around 2 weeks since I got mine–and Im still stoked. every day when I pit it on.
The fit is the way it should be @Erikdayo –I for one, cant wait till it starts to evolve. -
Indeed. I am loving my 526L so far and wishing I'd gotten into nicer clothing years back. By yesterday it already felt pretty good. Breaking in quickly because I've been wearing it all day at work each day. This jacket is so nice it makes me question the Momotaro 03-142 type II jacket I have on order. I thought it would be good to have a few jackets to rotate, but I've been enjoying wearing the 526L every day.

Im totally with you on that @Erikdayo .
Ive been wearing/breaking mine in every day since I got it too. This Jacket is just a blast to wear.Cant remember the last time a piece of clothing gave me such a kick to wear, oh wait, the 33 IND, oh wait, my 666-21s, etc..etc–
its been around 1-3 grad here in Berlin and when I wear a vest under it...its just perfect.
Cancel that M-word jacket now

@dinobarnesberlin I initially planned on getting the 2526J rather than the M-word jacket, but the length being 2.5" shorter than the 526L seemed like a big negative unless I end up getting some high rise pants. Perhaps if I went up to a medium on the 2526J it would be okay.
I think I read in another thread that you have quite the collection of denim jackets.
Personally, the Iron Heart piece that would give me the greatest joy would be the 242-MUS, but it's long gone. I've been looking around for a used small. Still quite happy with the few pieces of IH clothing I've been lucky enough to obtain.

One reason I like the modified Type III… it’s basically a CPO in the style of a Trucker Jacket [emoji106][emoji41]

…and it looks great. As do the shave and sideburns.
Thanks, dude [emoji120][emoji120] Maintaining the beard, while wearing masks, with all the barbershops being closed was proving to be a bit tiresome[emoji610][emoji40]

I hear you. I have been spared mask wearing on the whole until recently, and while it still isn’t required or even recommended in my part of Norway, I now choose to use one in peinlic buildings, shops, etc. Hearing aids and glasses make it very crowded behind my ears and very foggy in front of eyes.

Didn't this use to be called IH-526L-V2? Did the V2 drop with the latest run?
What about, https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5004.0
Curious minds…..

526L on the job. 2 1/2 weeks and as stiff as ever.

Perhaps they dropped the V2 because it's been 3-4 years? But I don't know for sure.

…about six months of almost daily wear...

@Alex_24 your size is XXXXL? May I ask your height and weight? I am 6'3" at about 210lbs. I'm thinkinging XXXL would be my size. Your fades look awesome man.
Will this 19oz fade similarly to the original 19oz Type III? It is a different denim, correct? Reason I ask is bc @twin has one of the best looking jackets I've seen on here.

Can’t say about the previous version of the denim… never saw it in-person... [emoji2369]
All I can say is I am glad I got mine [emoji106][emoji106]
As the product description says, it’s “the toughest Type III” in the IH repertoire [emoji1014] -
I'm becoming more and more aware that am growing into a much larger body (in my 30s) than in my 20s. I'm thinking sizing up two from my old size (XL) will be enough to actually button up the jacket. Also will be able to shrink it if needed. I'm thinking sizing up just one to XXL won't be enough with this jacket, especially after how nicely my 17oz Duck CPO fits me. I guess that kind of opened my eyes to how garments should really fit.
@Giles cool, that is what I was hoping you would have said.
