Yes, I did that but have been told a few different things. The measurements of the jacket I normally wear are:

Chest: 44 inches
Sleeve Length: 27 inches
Jacket Length: 26 inches
Shoulder Length: 19 inches
Bottom: 21 inches

Assuming you measured the way we do, then you have two pretty critical measurements to start with. The shoulder and the chest.

The shoulder on the jacket that fits you well is 19". The IH-526L is unsanforized but one-washed so some shrinkage to be expected, we did a shrink test on a 4XL (a link to the shrink test results is on the product page). A 4XL will shrink more than a Large as there is more material. The shrink test's shoulders shrank 0.5" so I would extrapolate from that that you could expect around 0.25" shoulder shrinkage, so your ideal shoulder measurement is about 19.2-19.4" (the chart measurment for a large is 19.4")

The chest on the jacket that fits you well is 22". Our shrink test showed no shrinkage on the P2P measurement which is unusal, and you may want to allow some room for yours to shrink, so you are looking for a P2P of around 22" - 22.5" (the chart measurment for a large is 22.5")

Now you have essentially narrowed down your choice to a Large, you can compare one by one remaining measurements to see if you will be happy with the overall fit, for eg the sleeve length on your jacket is 27", 526L size large is 27.4" and likley to shrink a little, so you will end up at about the same place. Check. Move onto the next, etc.

This is exactly what I needed; thank you so much!! The only bummer is the size L in this model is sold out everywhere with no ETA for restock. The only model I’m seeing available close to my size is the 526PJ but I think that one might be shorter and doesn’t have quite the same eye popping fades.

@Jcaz6996 Incredible man, one of the best jackets I've ever seen.

@Mizmazzle dang man…that thing is looking awesome

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT thanks, Sean! Much to my wife’s dismay, I basically never take it off until bed time.

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle she had to draw the line somewhere right!? Well whatever you’re doing it’s working and that thing is fading like a champ

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle killing it already!!!

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia I think you said it best…you kind of have to be obsessed with this denim. It’s just so fun to wear!!

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yup wear it all the dang time.

Edit: you just reminded me to put on my Slubby T2 back on during this movie haha.

[JunkPants]

@Mizmazzle Looking great already!

I've been using mine more as a shirt indoors lately, wearing it right now in fact.
(It's -20C / -4F outside right now so I need something a bit warmer when outdoors).

[Kasi]

Done 1 year in it.

Still wearing it very dirty now, holding 4 weeks off till I wash it

[twin]

@Kasi Getting better with every wear.

Fit pics. Layering with 295-IB and IH hoody.

Works great with the extra room in size XXL.

@Kasi I’d throw down the $ for an XHS type 3. Would have to have handwarmers tho.

[Kasi]
