        Has the measurement chart been updated, or are the dims the same as before?

          Great question @wdw. This seems smaller than the type 3s I have from Iron Heart. If they are the same measurements, I think I'll have to size up.

            Yeah, the chest is smaller than others.  I had the same problem last time and just couldn't get one to fit my chest without being too long.  I had hoped it might change with the restock.

              @wdw @Wlemon Only the length has been updated on the chart

              The devil is in the detail..

                Sounds like we're in the same boat, @wdw. Fingers crossed they are different.

                    About an inch longer in the sleeves than I am used to in a type iii, but I think it works!

                      Looks good. You can roll up the sleeves maybe? It has that cool corduroy there, right?

                        @Wlemon Yep! The cuffs are corduroy, but I don’t mind the sleeve length really. I imagine as the elbows crease over time the sleeves will hang a bit shorter anyways.

                        This jacket feels like a perfect autumn or early spring weight. It really looks fantastic in person.

                          Yep, it should. I'd say about a half inch or so in my experience. It's a killer jacket. I have coveted it for quite a while, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

                              That looks perfect.  You look like a tall and slender guy and the slightly longer sleeves go well with that physique.  But if you want to cuff them, that'll look good too.

                              I don't anticipate that the sleeves will shorten much, or at all, with creasing since this is whipcord and not denim but maybe they will.  Anyone have experience with that?

                                @Paul9221 Thank you for feedback on the fit! Looking over this thread your fit pics contributed to my decision to finally make this purchase.

                                Concerning creasing affecting resting sleeve length: You’re likely correct, this material probably won’t crease up like denim.

                                    Hi, this is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while  🙂

                                    I'm a really big fan of the IH-526-ODG olive whipcord type III jacket. I bought it a month ago and the wetter-than-expected British summer has given me ample opportunities to wear it already.

                                    Here's a photo of me wearing it in the Peak District last week:

                                          I'm from Oxfordshire but I went to Ilam Hall in the Peak District when I was 10 years old and I had always wanted to go back, so my wife and I did just that last week. It was great to explore the area and the weather was perfect for wearing Iron Heart gear (not just my jacket but also my IHTL-1301 jumper, for example. I definitely want to go back again as it's so beautiful.
