IH-526J-142OD - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III - Overdyed Indigo

Hey, could anyone help me out with the sizing. I'm mostly concered about the shoulders being to tight. Mine measure at 48cm since I usually wear Large T-shirts and since I don't intend to layer this one. I'm stuck between either L or XL.
I have a Levi's denim jacket here that I've been measuring and the shoulders are 50cm and P2P is 58cm. I wouldn't mind if it was a tiny bit smaller tbh hence why I'm thinking about the XL but then I saw that Sam and Adam wears L in this one and their shoulders are bigger then mine.
Would it be best to go for a an L and let it stretch a bit or get an XL right away?

I just tried this jacket on in a size xxl. Same size I use in the UHLs. Does it look too small on me?
I’m a tall skinny dude with monkey arms. 200cm and 85kg.
I want the jacket to fit snug and it felt super comfortable over the flannel and I could even fit a woolen sweater under it too.
But it’s not long on the arms for me as I have seen it on others. And it’s also quite short in the body.
Unfortunately the shop didn’t have it in xxxl, so I couldn’t try that on for comparison.

Looks to me like it would work best over a single layer. Thin sweaters, henley’s, tee’s etc. the 3XL may be too roomy in the body.
Yes - that’s what I’m afraid of. I really don’t want the boxy oversized look. Might pull the trigger on this one in xxl. It’s a beautiful jacket!! [emoji7]

New in: was considering a black Type 3 for ages. The market is really small, when considering that it also should have handwarmer pockets:-) Based on specs and pictures, I was not sure if it will be black enough, but the fabric is really black if not exposed to direct sunlight. Then you can see the blue shining through, which actually looks really cool.
Also I feared that it might be too light for me (being biased by wearing too much heavy denim for too long) It turns out however that the weight is just perfect and the fabric has a heft, which clearly screams „I am Iron Heart“
I wanted a slightly oversized fit compared to my traditional options to layer as much as I want, but it also looks cool with just a tee. I think after the fabric has settled a bit, it will get even better. Now I want to wear it non-stop through spring and produce some (hopefully killer) fades. Unfortunately I could not find many broken in pictures on the web. Looks like this one is a bit underappreciated

Looks sick @beef_bonanza !
-
@Ross Thank you. Being my first OD piece, I find it most fascinating how the colour is changing from a dark, dull black to shiny blue depending on the light. Can't wait to put serious wait on it and see it fading:-)

This one is next on my shopping list.
Studying the measurements atm and trying to figure out if i need to size up from my corduroy type III... -
@lengis I sized up 1 size from my UHF size, if this is some sort of help: however mine fits on the loser side, as I want to fit Iron Heart hoodies below and still be able to close it easily
-
@beef_bonanza Thanx, I prefer a more snug fit but it's of course nice to be able to layer up with an UHF. I will probably go with the same size as my UHF's and my IHJ-69 (L).
@Ross Thanx! I might take you up on that
-
Not much going on yet, but the fabric is already starting to settle. I mentioned it before, but this weight and fabric seems just to be perfectly matching for a Type 3
-
Hard as f*ck to capture the colour of this stuff. Depending on lightning it can change between bold black and dark blue. However I have some first progress coming in after 3 weeks of light wear. The black seems to fade rather quickly.

I just pulled the trigger on this jacket, my first from IH! Can't wait for it to arrive. I'm an OD fanboy 100%! I find the OD jeans evolve so uniquely. Nice pics @beef_bonanza

@beef_bonanza I see what you mean I have the same issue with my 142ib.
Nice evo btw
