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

If you’re not careful going for tighter fits.

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

@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

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

@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...

@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.

[jordanf]

@Kasi thanks for the input man! Only worried about room in the shoulders so going to talk to the IH crew when I order it to get the biggest L they have.

[A Former User]

@jordanf best thing you can do is indeed email the guys! Cause i have a XL and i’m smaller in the shoulders then @Kasi and i definitely can’t pull of a size L this denim is cardboardie as hell

[T4920]

@Heavy_blue bare in mind this batch is significantly larger fitting, L looks like the XL from the previous batch

[Kasi]

@T4920

Every time when a new batch is made size are varies alway the case.

What size needed and guidelines . Is the Iron Crew job they the experts.

[A Former User]

@T4920 yup they are running a tad bigger. I agree with @Kasi best thing you can do is shout out to the IH crew. I was only speaking out of my own experience with my lefty. And that’s that you rather buy it a little bigger and shrink it with a soak the buy a L and when that one shrinks it get to tight in the shoulder/upper arm area. This is no jacket to mess with haha!

[jordanf]

Just pulled the trigger on the L and flicked through an email requesting the copy with the largest shoulder measurement. Thanks for your help all!

[Daniel San]

just ordered mine too

[Stoogey72]

Hi everyone, just wondering what kind of body length shrinkage could be expected with a super hot wash? Thank you in advance

[Kasi]

Probably half inch

[AtariHunter]

@Twistlock

Nice, that’s what I call a perfect fit! I hope that mine will look similar. What size did you get?
