IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo
-
Looks great @Wlemon
These are made longer to incorporate the hand warmer pockets and in order to combine better with longer undershirts or shirts, (although Haraki-san probably intended it to give better coverage when on a bike).
If you want one that sits at the belt then one of the more traditional models over a tee would work best. However I think that looks very tidy. Arm length is perfect, it looks fitted when done up and just covers the belt.

Gotta agree with what the others say @Wlemon.
I just got mine a little over a week ago and ive been wearing it every day since.
The arm length is perfect, sometimes you see guys cuffing their jackets or shirts just to make it break at the wrist. You can tell that its way too long…sometimes by an inch or more.
The length looks good---just like @neph93 says…the traditional is shorter, but you lose the pockets. -
That’s a phenomenal fit [mention]Wlemon [/mention] !!

Thank you all for the input. After putting it on, I was a little concerned with the length, but if it doesn't look too long, then I'm very happy overall with everything else. Now I just gotta break it in!

Will,
I'll just add to the chorus of other voices and say that it's a great fit. I have a few jackets that are shorter than yours and there are certain shirts that I can't wear with them - the tails hang out 6 inches below the jacket and look ridiculous.
Your jacket will work great with a layer or without.

Forgive the comparison, but it's the only other type III I have.
If I'm an L in the IHJ-69-KHA, anyone with both of these jackets can recommend a size in the 526PJ? I'm thinking it might need to be the XL based on the shoulder measurements, but if this has some stretch, maybe the L would avoid it being too big?

Run a compare and you should be able to answer your own question…..

I ran it for you:

Cheers Giles. I figured someone who might own both could add something on top.

I have neither however I have lots of 21oz denim and it does stretch. If it was going to stretch anywhere it would be in the shoulders. Judging bybthe tables you have only half an inch to make up anyway.

@Dishelveled the whole outfit is so badass! I love the UHF (I wish I had that one) and the fade on the jeans looks so awesome. Two thumbs up
-
Thank you, Mike! One of my favorite flannels for sure, and can't take any credit for the fades–bought these pre-washed a few years back. Cheers, brother!
