it doesn't get much more simple than that does it?

I have the 526PJ 21 oz that I have been working on so will pass on this ---same logic basically---cant wear them all and get the desired fades. Will concentrate on the one I have for now,----

I love that kind of wisdom. Nonstop dedication to a top or or bottom for months on end. Move on to another and come back for it later.

@Oaktavia pre-IH me would be dreading winter in the middle of the beautiful summer we're having here in the UK, but now I'm just looking forward to getting a full cold season in my OD Lefty as I picked it up as it was starting to warm up earlier this year.

It's little things like this I use to justify my addiction haha..

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 absolutely! I love winters now more than ever. IH on IH on IH on IH. Quad style. I look most forward to the falltime though where I find my most excitement as winter begins to holler.

I really dont need another jacket but I dont think I can resist!

Struggling with sizing though. I have a superblack non fade type3 in L and it fits though is maybe a little snug unless I am wearing a t-shirt only, so was thinking of sizing up. But comparing the charts the L on this latest batch seems a little bigger than the L superblack, do I still go up to XL?

Have attached a photo of me in the L superblack as well as the superblack sizing chart.

And finally the chart for this drop, L or XL? I'm 6'2/185cm and 80kg/175 pounds.

But as far as everyone who wears/posts/comments on this amazing piece---Im like that old , Police stalking song goes--"ill be watching you"
This jacket is eye candy to watch

[T4920]

@jordanf looking at those charts, I'd say the L in the new batch of these Leftys would be perfect for you if the Black Type III is a little snug.

[PJS]

I were a medium in the N1, an XL in UHF, and usually a large in most US/ European shirts and jackets, sometimes a medium. I’d probably be a large in this jacket but the sleeves seem really long? Can they be shortened at IH?

[goosehd]

@PJS It is something I have not seen done nor offered from IHUK. Maybe a tailor in your local area could do it.

Also, someone from the crew may chime in later to confirm.

[Kasi]

I don’t think they do, only hemming and repairs

[PJS]

Do the sleeves shorten as they honeycomb?

[goosehd]

@PJS Yes they do. The sleeves will shorten with time and wear.

[goosehd]

@PJS When ordering, you can also put in the notes to find your size with the shortest sleeve length or the length that you are looking for.

There is some variation in each of the sizes and dimensions.

[jordanf]

@T4920 Hmmm thanks you're probably right. Maybe the XL would be a bit big and look funny with how stiff the jacket will be?

Just noticed that my superblack is a size 40 when I am normally a 42 to 44 in other denim jackets/shirts.

[El Fanatico]

Hey gang, I need some help with sizing please. I have L for the Superblack 21oz Rider's Jacket but XL for my 16oz Slubby Type III's. Any suggestions for the 190z lefty? I was thinking go L and then hot soaking the shit out of it.... Much thanks!

[Kasi]

@El-Fanatico

Go of the measurements rather than size.
The 16oz Slubby is a softer fabric

As 19oz is very heavy to start with.
otherwise if it to tight you will struggle move in.

Half inch bigger would be playing it safe, if your soaking it

Oi oi oi!

[iammortalcombat]

@Kasi yep! im very wabi sabi with my clothes and they just reflect everyday for me. Too much effort to do extra just to chase extreme fades. I got a few years left in me, fades come with life right

[jordanf]

Final question while trying to figure out sizing (maybe ha), how much shrinkage do these have in them?
