IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo

[Stuart.T]

@neph93 and @Alex I've had a clear out and have the funds to buy a 526PJ. I have a super black 9526PJ labelled as a W44 (if I recall this is a size XXL - judging by the online measurements too).

It fits me perfectly, and if anything I may have a little extra toom in the chest…now my usual stupid question...an XXL in the 526PJ would be the way to go right?

when compared side by side the 526PJ and 9526PJ measurements are almost identical except the P2P which is about 0.7 inches smaller in the 526PJ. The measurements for the XXXL look way too big and this will stretch out a little with wear across the chest and waist.

cheers fellas.

@Stuart.T Your suspicions are correct, the XXL is the way to go. We can find you a touch larger chest in available stock if you need it

@AdamJ you are too kind, if by suspicions you mean 'idiocy' I suspected I would be correct  ;D. I'll put a note on the order now, thanks again

[Stuart.T]

@AdamJ …perfect! Thanks to you and @Madame Buttonfly for the exemplary service as usual. Personally it's hard to imagine a more perfect fit in every measurement…

[Madame Buttonfly]

Super!  Looks great on you @Stuart.T

Just received mine today. It is very nice!

[neph93]

Bloody good fit there @ton312

Dang, man, that looks tailor made!  Very slimming but not too tight.

I couldn’t be happier with both my recent IH jackets. Over the past twenty years I have collected/ bought and sold roughly 1000 leather jackets. I am happy and relieved to aim my spectrum behavior in a new and exciting direction.

And the patch after its mandatory first Obenauf's treatment

First thing that came to my mind was: how did I manage to live without the extra internal pockets? They are brilliant, so is the whole jacket.

Agreed! The best part of the handwarmers is the dual purpose they serve as inside pockets. Can't wear a type III without them now.

Congrats @Dion I was looking at this myself today, it's a beauty.

The endless hand warmer pocket debate now seems settled as barely any traditional type III's from IH are extant anymore. I own one traditional now, and two with pockets. I still prefer the traditional versions although the pockets are not a dealbreaker and I actually find the internal pockets way more useful and interesting than the hand warmer's 

[Dion]

Cheers, gentlemen! Yes, I was surprised how roomy and useful the internal pockets are, they are definitely a nice addition. It's a good feeling when your stuff is protected by bulletproof 21 oz. I don't plan to use the outer pockets (handwarmers), though, so they don't become sloppy and ruin the sleek look of the jacket.

It doesn't get better than a 21 oz Type III…

…only a utopian XHS Type III could top it ;).

It was chilly today so the 526PJ has been called for duty.
