G'day from Australia, first time poster here!
I am eagerly awaiting a restock on the 21oz Type III, I was hoping someone may be able to offer some advice on sizing?
My current Type III is a Nudie jeans traditional (no pockets, shorter length), it is a tag size Large with the following measurements:
20 inch P2P
23.5 Length
17.5 shoulder
27 sleeveI love the fit of the Nudie jacket, it is a slimmer fit that I never layer and wear when it's not overly cold.
Going by the sizing chart, am I correct in assuming a size Medium would fit me best / closest to my current jacket? I am normally large in most jackets, t-shirts etc. So I am a bit hesitant sizing down to a Medium...
Thanks!

@jd488 Hi , I own both a 526pj (the IH jacket I've worn the least) and a Nudie Perry Dry Confort, size XS for the first and S for the second. Nudie fits thinner also because it is much less heavy than the 21oz of IH. In your place I'd take an S if you only want to wear a t-shirt.
-
Let's get this beasty soaked, arms a bit wide for my taste so i hope the soak helps a bit...! -
Pretty happy with the soaking result, arms a bit tighter and fits great now in all ways... fit pics will follows
-
@Fades-for-future did you hot soak it? how about the length, curious if it shrunk any in there.
-
@mjunderw00d hey man. Nah, just luke warm water for around 30-45 mins. The whole Jacket shrunk a bit but not much in length..
-
@Fades-for-future very good, I've had it for a year but I've worn it very little due to the sleeves being too large. I'll try soaking it at least I'll wear it more often. Thanks
-
@Luijim78 was the same with mine and i got to much stuff to wear
good luck with the soak, hope yours will turn out great and fit like a glove -
@Fades-for-future thanks so much friend... fingers crossed and we'll see
-
@Luijim78 for sure mate, post some fit pics
i also need to do that... -
Fit pic, needs to soften up but feels great....

I just purchased this jacket again from James Dant. The one I posted a few years back, I gave to my nephew to help him break free from the North face virus. I think perhaps the pattern has changed? Shoulders have more slope (like an a-2) and the sleeves seem fuller. Still my favorite IH piece. For comparisons sake here is the 526pj from maybe 5 or 6 years ago:
And here’s the jacket, day one received yesterday:
I look forward to the fall to break it in properly. Rather than soak it, I think I’ll just use a spray bottle to help shape and mold certain areas, collar and sleeve etc.

Uncle of the year award!

@ton312 “the North Face virus” might be my new favorite quote
-
@mjunderw00d LOL. It’s real though. First leaf falls and everybody here turns into Han Solo with a navy blue north face “alpha dad” vest. I can’t let that happen to a family member.

@Fades-for-future Soaked for 40 minutes at 30/40 degrees, and worn damp to fix some creases, it seems that the sleeves are a little less wide. Thanks for the advice friend... tonight and tomorrow I'll be able to say for sure
