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

[T4920]

@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

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!

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...

@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.

@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

@iammortalcombat
Enjoy it while you can

@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

I size up in the OD to XXL

indigo got XL..

Go of the measurements not size

[Kasi]

If you’re not careful going for tighter fits.

Your arm maybe restricted from
the shoulder? To move upwards and sideway going up

This is sound advice for sure. Do what you like best!

All i can say is that you’ll regret it when you don’t get a little room in the shoulder area. Better size up and soak hot to get a good fit. Lefty is a cardboard beast you wanna tame it and not the other way around

[El Fanatico]

@Oaktavia @Kasi Thanks fellas. I really appreciate you both weighing in. Its sounds like a Large is right on then after crunching the numbers. So excited after such a long wait...

[A Former User]

@El-Fanatico best jacket.. period

[El Fanatico]

@AtariHunter thanks dude!! I am also checking in with the IH crew to make sure my purchase is dialed in

[El Fanatico]

@Heavy_blue Having several other IH pieces I am beyond excited to lay hands on this beast. It's been a long wait. Thanks!

[Kasi]

@El-Fanatico

This should remove your doubts

See for yourself

@Kasi how close are your measurements to mine?

@Heavy_blue the shoulders is what I'm worried about! I think that's where my superblack is too tight and it kills me. Maybe an XL and a hot soak is where it's at.

[Kasi]

@jordanf

Looking at your requirements.
You need a large after a soak you’re good to go.
Best to drop Iron Heart a message find something match your measurements.

Every individual is different.

Don’t go of my XL size

I have big shoulder my chest is 43.5.

Also I like to wear looser, the American way.

Many don’t like long sleeves some do, it’s all down to your preferences
I have own way of wearing and style.
