Stand up effort on these images! Beautiful jacket. I have no LHT anything in my collection and this gives me the itch for sure!!!

[Oaktavia]

Interesting to note the patches on the Lefty are different on the newer ones. The old ones do not have the red added to them, veg tan only. I like them both- with the new one, you can read the logo and such from far away and the old version is great too because of its simplicity.

This will be my next IH item. Love all the images.

How much does it shrink with wash?

Reason I am asking is that for the 526j-142ib (that I own) it says "sanforized and one-washed. Little to no shrinkage expected". For the 526L it actually says allow for some shrinkage.

Size looks great in L w/o shrinkage. But if it does shrink some I may go with XL.

Thanks lads.

Go xl if you plan to wash it hot, or L if it fits you right out of the bag and wash/soak it cold, best advice: measure your most beloved jacket and compare

[Perpetual_beta]

@Heavy_blue

measure is what i did as implied by my comparison to the 526-142ib.  Its just one is washed, the other one is not. Hence I need an idea about shrinkage. Based on how I use my stuff I will definitely need to wash…

Hold up - what is this thread: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5004.0

There are tow IH-526L threads under jackets. What is going on? Different items with same number?

[Oaktavia]

The other thread is the older version of the jacket.

I would go with XL and hot soak it, hang dry then wear damp to set perfect creases.

Curious about the 19oz Lefty fabric. I know it’s stiff as a board and tough as nails…but once it’s been beaten down…will it ever become as soft as say a 25oz XHS? Or is this beast going to have teeth for the life of the jacket?
