IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
@JunkPants if it's any consolation in the last year I have taken a 526PJ 21oz, a 526J-SLBOD, a 526L, a 526L OD and an Extractor should arrive tomorrow. ... always if my partner doesn't decide to choke me in my sleep

@JunkPants thanks mate
-
This came…..
Impeccable as expected
Graham at IHUK was awesome!
-
Didn't get a full season out of this last year due to the heat, so I'm looking forward to putting it through the ringer this Fall/Winter.
Had about ten weeks of daily wear and one wash.
Some slight marbling on the back (washed on low spin rather than no spin) but I think it adds character.
-
-
@Daniel-San yes and yes, with the lowest spin cycle my machine allowed.
Will do no spin next time, and just deal with the laborious drip-dry! Too impatient, that's my problem...
It's all good, still love the jacket, and marbling becomes less pronounced with time.
-
Marble good
-
Mine arrived yesterday. Its fits perfect everywhere except lower rib area ( mid button) were it's just a bit snug. It's T shirt or Chambray shirt for underneath, which is pretty much what I wear anyway. I love it though, can't wait to break it in.

So I’ve wanted one of these for ages, but timings have never been on my side. Finally pulled the trigger on an XXL, fully expecting it to potentially too big. However, XLs will almost certainly be too small to layer a UHF/Hoodie under which I intend to do, plus XLs are out of stock. What say you guys on the fit:
Fastened, over a UHF:
Open, over a tee:
General fit pic:
It’s very comfortable from the off (although buttons were near impossible to fasten
). I’m not one for super trim fits and prefer a little wiggle room - I’m just curious what others think out there. Too big?Fabric is bananas, plus it creaks!!!
-
@jerkules I think it looks pretty great. Bit of room
To be comfy. I think once it breaks in and drapes a bit more and loses the touch of boxiness it has it will look even better. Especially since you want a bit of room. Looks good over the tee though too in my opinion. Not oversized at all. But like @T4920 said, could go smaller if you wanted, but would lose that comfy size over a UHF. -
Thanks for the affirmation @T4920 & @Mizmazzle . I found it hard to size this as I have no similar jacket to compare it to. I just went "slightly bigger" in chest/shoulder dimensions than I would for my ideal UHF. It's weird 'cause when you've been coveting something for so long (as I have with this jacket), the excitement upon getting one makes you a bit blind to what it actually looks like and how it fits.
As an aside @Mizmazzle, did yours ever arrive, or is it still inching closer?
-
@jerkules Good to hear! Rereading your post and seeing that you prefer a little wiggle room, I think you definitely made the right choice with the XXL.
As much as I love my slimmer fitting one, it's definitely a case of form>function..
Like Miz says, once it breaks in and molds to your body it'll really come into its own! (Just don't expect it to drape anytime soon, mine is still rigid and creaky after 3 months wear and a wash)

In my experience with the Triangel of Terror Jacket
yours is fine. Arms will settle and there’s molding expectable. -
Yeah looks great @jerkules
-
@jerkules oh man!! Thanks for asking and funnily enough, just got word that it has landed back to the sender. After sitting in Netherlands post for months my boy Jeffery finally had to demand it be returned. Took a couple more weeks but it’s back with him now. Soooo, this time I won’t be a cheap bastard and take the lowest possible cost option for shipping and will opt for fed ex or DHL or ups and have it insured! If all goes smoothly it could be here next week hypothetically. What a wild ride!!!
-
@jerkules looks good brotha.
Make regular and relaxed fits great again!I too had to size up to the xxxl even though xxl fit. I wanted to be able to toss an uhf under it and the xxl would allow for it but movement was restricted.
Needed an xx\l I guess lol
