IH-526J-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo/Black

[profdbrk]

I'm relieved but not surprised to find out how many of us keep shirts and jackets in more than one size for layerings.  I mean, I wouldn't dare try to explain this to my wife and thank the gods she doesn't read this Forum.

@GardenState:

Was thinking of layering with it. Maybe a sweater or hoodie underneath. Or am I better off wearing it with a t shirt and using something else for colder weather?

Type III’s are supposed to be tight. That one looks perfect over a thin layer (length/shoulders/arms), but size up for sure, if you want to layer.

I’m XL in IH shirts an have an XXL for layering and XL’s and L’s for snug fits over one layer.

Thanks! Yeah it's pretty snug. I was historically a medium but my back has broadened.

Mine arrived today and it’s a beautiful jacket! Sized up to an XL (normally a L in shirts) but worried it may be a touch large.

Has anyone managed to get any shrinkage out of this?

@simmosn I wanted this jacket, but knew from measurements that I wouldn't get into my usual size (XL).
So I got a XXL which has the perfect chest size for me, but shoulders and sleeves somewhat too wide/long.

Washed it once with 90°C (inside out, no spin).
That crushed the leather patch, but the jacket fits well now.

That looks good @endo

The shoulders are (were) perhaps marginally too wide but not enough that anyone would notice without you drawing attention to it.

I really like the look of this jacket. It's underrated in my opinion.

Absolutely agree, @going_to_battle , the shoulders could be less wide.
But I wanted this for layering. I also have a corduroy Type III one size below which I wear in summer.
This fit here is a compromise.
However, it is a wonderful material and I'm very much looking forward to its evolution.

[going_to_battle]

It looks the perfect size for layering.

[simmosn]

Loving this! Perfect after a hot wash

@simmosn cool look, and IMO a very good fit

Occasional lurker, first time poster here. I picked up a 4XL in the end of summer sale and am thrilled with it!

[going_to_battle]

4XL? That looks much smaller. Fit looks great

Thanks! I guess there’s no scale in this pic, but I’m 6’2” with a 48” chest - IH is the only Japanese brand I’ve found that makes tops big enough

@giles is this jacket available in Japan ? Size xxl?

It is not sold, therefore not stocked, in Japan I am afraid….

Is it the same denim as used for the 295ib shirt ?
