IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo
-
Thank you, @LewisStonehouse. Yes I had worn them for six months without any prior wash. After finally washing them, they shrank and never actually stretched back to the original point, even after almost a year of daily wear, walking and hiking. Makes me think that there are other factors that could contribute to this which is why I personally wouldn't claim that 21oz doesn't shrink (in terms of measurements). However, I'm much more careful ever since and only wash any denim at 30 degrees just in case.
A bit of stretch wouldn't be a problem at all on this new jacket. However, if it shrank or the "seams tightened" in the wrong areas (shoulder, chest etc.), it would probably very hard to stretch it without applying a lot of manual force. I'll just be careful and wash at 30 degrees. Won't be for a while anyway that I do this and when I do, I'll report back!

In UHF I have size L , what size would you recommend for the 526 ?
I thought of XL, cause I´d like to wear a UHF or sweater under the jacket.
what do you think ? -
This is such a soft and nice denim… My jacket is very comfy
Are the 888S made out of the same denim as this?
-
@cityofdelusion yes
-
That explains why my 888S are so comfy then

First picture post, hope I’m doing this right.
Got the 526PJ in September and have been loving it. Starting to get some slight fading around arms and edges and they are such a sweet color. This thing is also getting really soft. Just never want to take it off

@Crease –-the jacket is looking good man. Ive been living in mine this winter.
It holds up against the cold really well with a t and a UHF under it up to about 1 to 2 grad,
Temps at 0 or below, I have to go with a winter jacket.
Keep it up...its always a work in progress - topic:timeago-later,24 days

Not that I need another IH denim item by any means. But I don't have a Type III and I've decided that this is def gonna be it, next time a restock rolls around.

After lurking for a couple of months, I spotted this up for sale nearly brand new on the forum. Grabbed it, and oh man is it as great as advertised. A bit of a thumb buster on those button holes, but absolutely a spot on, comfy fit. Fitted but also soft and patterned so I have full range of motion even while buttoned up.
Underneath is the new 316-IND as well, which just goes great with this.

Is there a restock of this jacket on the horizon?
-
That’s good news. I’ve been waiting for over a year for a restock since UPS lost my lone 4XL last year.

Do people really like the hand warmer pockets? I checked with IH and no plans to do a Type III without hand warmers. Bummer, looking for a type III 21 or 22 oz new or used, no hand warmers of course

I mean, they're really practical and very well-placed to be out of the way. I don't use the outer pocket that often, but I do use the inner pocket that they create almost every time I wear it. If you're not using them, they don't really add much extra bulk or anything, if that's what you're concerned about.
