IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

[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.

@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.

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!

@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?

Compare the size chart on this jacket to the one that's OD. That will give you the absolute maximum shrink you could get, but know that home washing, even a very violent one, may not produce as much shrinkage as the OD process. Reading this thread shows maybe 50% of this about is possible if you try hard to do so.

[jordanf]

@pechelman that's good info. Looking at the OD chart I'd say the XL in OD would be perfect.

Just measured up my superblack that feels a little snug around the shoulders/back.

Shoulders 18.5
Chest 22
Length 25
Waist 21.4
Opening 19.2

@jordanf XL would probably look a bit odd at first but I have no doubt if you wore in it enough it would look much better once it moulded to your body (although this monster will take years to have any sort of drape)

It depends what kind of a fit you want in the end, I personally prefer a more tailored fit and adore my slim fitting Overdyed Lefty (despite not being able do the bottom button up) whereas @Oaktavia is the king of making a more oversized fit look absolutely killer.

Do what feels right for your own personal style, but don't overthink it too much, I don't think it'd be impossible to look bad wearing this jacket

I own a Slubby Type II (!) in XL myself and ordered an XL for the Lefty after taking the measurements and following thee advice given from Bailey. Maybe that helps? You can still give it a hot soak if it‘s too big.

[Twistlock]

Maybe not the smartest of ideas to start breaking these in with forecasted 33°C today...

[Kasi]

@Twistlock

Got it right. Perfect fit

are you planning on soaking it.

[Twistlock]

Thanks Mo @Kasi. Undecided whether i will soak. Trying to wear them for a while. Sized down to an XL in these from my usual xxl.

[Kasi]

@Twistlock

XXL would have been massively fit.

Even if you do lukewarm for 50 minutes

Becomes a lot easier to wear. Move around in it

@Kasi great example you killed it

@Mindfulbiscuit

Thanks

[Twistlock]

Yeah, XXL would have been way too large in the shoulders.
