IH-526J-22OD - 22oz Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
I bought this for summer wear, but I hate not being able to wear it. The muffler and an N-1 over it means it works as an in between layer even in -7C.
I' really tore up between this jacket ( I know it's not available now, but there is a version over at SE and not sure about the measurements ) and the Left Hand 19oz one. Both seem heavy and awesome w/the IH-526Lod running a bit small perhaps.
I bought the IH-526J-142ib in a XXL and it's kinda perfect, maybe a little long in the sleeve and length but overall love the fit. I also bought the Storm rider in XXL by the way…like the fit for sure
My questions are: Should I wait for this 22oz jacket to be rereleased ya think? or, is the IH-526Lod just as good if not better?
I'm also really tempted to pull the trigger on the Self Edge version but I think the 42 size would be better but of course it's sold out within 24 hrs, so either I go bigger, longer in the XXL or even try the Lg which might be too tight.
Any advice you could share would be fantastic and greatly appreciated !! Thank you very much !!

@Shanman11 The SE 22oz is a modified type III like your 14oz jacket and the IH-526L-19-OD. This jacket, the IH-526j-22OD, is without handwarmers and a little shorter. If you found the 14oz long then you might consider waiting for this.
I own this one and have experience with the 19oz. I went with the 22oz mostly because the measurements work better for me. Both are brilliant fabrics so you can’t go wrong, but I especially like the 22oz heft, and the flat, smooth, matte hand on the IH-526j-22OD.

Thanks so much ! I wonder how long the wait/how long they've been sold out ? Guess I haven't been paying attention as the SE Version really got my attention !

Will there be a revised size chart? (And can we get a Sam and a Giles size?) Asking for a friend. (Telling my wife that…)
-
Sam no longer works for us.
Sorry to hear that. Please can you do us all a favour and employ someone with Sam's exact measurements?

Hey friends,
I'm eyeing this jacket. HARD. I am struggling with sizing, though. I don't have another jacket to measure to try and figure out what size to get. Just recently bought a shirt with these measurements:
Shoulders - 17.5"
Length - 29"
Chest (P2P) - 21.6"
Waist - 20.2"
Opening - 20.5"
Sleeve - 25.1"
Sleeve Opening - 4.1"Given that this shirt fits perfectly, is there any size guidance anyone could give? I'll be wearing it with a tshirt and some flannel in the fall. Thanks for any guidance - wish there was somewhere I could try this guy on in Toronto but alas!

Hey @juiceless I will PM you to discuss sizing

Shoulders - 17.5"
Length - 29"
Chest (P2P) - 21.6"
Waist - 20.2"
Opening - 20.5"
Sleeve - 25.1"
Sleeve Opening - 4.1"How tall are you and what is your weight? Based on the above dims I’d say you were an M or an L. Have a look at this too:

Those shirt measurements look like an IH medium, which is what I usually wear. I don’t have this type III, but I own other IH type IIIs in medium, and large. Both work fine over flannels, but the large is a little loose when worn with a T.

Thanks [mention]sabergirl [/mention] and [mention]neph93 [/mention]!
The shirt I’m referencing is an iron heart medium, good eye! I’m working with Adam to figure out what would work best for me but good to know what works for others. I’m 5’10” and about 180 but I have narrow shoulders. Never had a properly fitting denim jacket before so I’m a bit gun shy about the sizing.

Based on the above I’d suggest medium, large if you want more length and room for layering.
