There probably are wrong ways to wear a type III, but this ain't one of them
It all comes down to personal preference. That said, if I saw you on the street, I wouldn't point and laugh, i would give you a high five and compliment you on your phenomenal taste in denim jackets.
If you're comfortable, I can attest that it looks great!
Besides, everyone is going to be too distracted by your amazing hair to realize you're even wearing a jacket
Blanket-line all the things!!!

That is how most IH Type IIIs (L) fit me as well, I like this fit over a tee but size up for UHF and the like. Yours looks spot on to me.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
The jacket is very comfortable, not too tight, i can move easily. I plan to wear it without layers, only with a tee.
My main concern was about the sleeves indeed.
So i think i will keep it. I'm afraid that the size up would be too roomier for my taste. Chest and shoulder feel perfect.
If the sleeves get too short i'll cut them off..... problem solved

@Anesthetist ...looks big.
-
@goosehd I cant tell if it’s bc it actually is or bc the fabric is super stiff. I shouldve taken pics of it over a flannel, I’ll do that when I get home.
-
@Anesthetist It look fine from the front and too big from the side. Throw on that UHF and some heavy jeans and see how it feels. Does it have a dual zipper? That would allow you to size down if you make that decision and not have it too tight around the hips.
Looking at their website, the model in a similar jacket is showing the same "blousy" drape you are. https://theworkersclub.co.uk/collections/mens-outerwear/products/mens-shell-jacket-ink-made-by-mackintosh
Edie: i see this is a division road collab. may fit you a bit big seeing their model in a medium
-
Looks right to me too.
-
The two areas that I would be most concerned about are circled. The reason I have concerns is that I find with stiff fabrics the material would be uncomfortable and could fold and crease in weird ways, potentially causing premature wear and tear.
I personally don’t like a lot of excess material in the armpit areas and find it uncomfortable.

I leave the thread unattended for one day and it’s the @Matt & @goosehd show
Here it is over my NIN as compared to my 80.
IHJ-80
TWC
As I think about it, the TWC fits me more the Barbour Beaufort versus the traditional mountain coat. My only worry with a medium is the shoulder and pit. I had a MF Veste that fit me like a dream except I couldnt drive it comfortably
-
@Anesthetist is the liner in the jacket right now? If it is, its going to be even roomier without it. As it stands it doesn't fit as trim as the IHJ-80, but it doesn't look too oversized IMO. also, love the color
