      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]

                @Alex_24 and it looks great. As do the shave and sideburns.

                    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.

                        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.

                            I just sold two IH jackets because I need something bigger. My brain has landed here and I decided to compare my 17oz Duck CPO to this jacket. My CPO is an XXL and is more similar to the XXXL 526L. I'm looking to pull the trigger sometime this week hopefully.

                                @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.

                                      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.

                                        Alright I just ordered an XXXL for layering under hoodies, UHF, IH westerns, etc. Hope I made the right choice. Lookong forward to a jacket I can button up over anything, beer belly included.

                                          It is an amazing jacket and tough as heck. Don't let the 19oz fool you, it is for sure thicker than the 21oz jeans I have.

                                            @Oaktavia I know sizing is subjective, but I really think the jacket is too big and would look better in all dimensions a size down.  I don’t know if shrinking it will help…

                                            Did you try a XXL?
