IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo

[long_john86]

Hardly worn second hand one arrived recently.
Took a gamble on the size but it feels comfy and seems to be able to accommodate various shirts / UHFs, so that’s the main tick in the box for me.

I’m only acquainted with the 19oz Lefty Trucker so this feels like a pyjama top in comparison! I love this denim.

Fit wise, does this look okay? It’s a 46 (XXXL?) and I’m an XXL in shirts/UHFs across the board. I don’t like ‘fitted’ clothes (more to do with the feel, rather than the look) - so there is always the ‘size up?’ question (insecurity?) in the back of my mind…..

As a lanky lad who is a bit out of proportion the modified dimensions help a great deal!!

@long_john86 I think that fits perfect! Think going up a size would make the chest measurement too big and it would too wide?

@long_john86 Looks good imo. Arms are a tad short still, but the rest looks spot on. Can you close all buttons, do you still have some room? I‘m an XXL in shirts and an XXXL in Type 3s as well, so I wouldn‘t worry about ‚sizing up‘.

[long_john86]

Thanks guys - here are some photos with it buttoned up. @DeeDee85 good point re chest measurement!
Do you need to take into account any noticeable future shrinkage on this one when assessing the initial fit?

Fit looks great sleeves look spot on to me ..

[long_john86]

Thanks all for the feedback, much appreciated. Looks like this is a keeper then.
@tody that’s good to know we take similar shirt/type iii sizing, I shall bear that in mind when admiring your WAYWT!

That looks great to me. I take XXL in western UHF's and all my type III's are XXXL.

Restock in the near-ish future....?

@Spencer35 ETA April

[Spencer35]

@AdamJ Cool, thank you!

Question, for us warmer climate dwellers (I live in Los Angeles) would the IH-526J-142 make more sense? Probably wouldn't wear the jacket much in the summer anyways, more of a Winter/Spring/Fall option here.

[AdamJ]

@Spencer35 They're both pretty breathable but generally, yes if you're in warmer climes the lighter option is better.

Can easily throw a UHF on underneath when it gets cooler!

Found one of these on Grailed for a bit of a steal and it showed up today, already love it! Time to beat the hell out of it along with my 888 SBG's... buying hiatus starts now.

@Vintagedenim said in IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo:

So I was all prepared to get the 526 SLB slub version of the type III and then I see amazing pics like this which make me think maybe I should get the 526PJ instead. Your jacket really looks incredible.

@AdamJ Still on track for April restock?

[AdamJ]

@Crease awesome fades man, love the 21oz jackets.

[Crease]

@Oaktavia Thanks dude! I don't really beat it up so its slow going. Its so soft though!

[Oaktavia]

@Crease I bet it is super soft, especially compared to the 19oz Lefty!

[Germinal]

@AdamJ restock soon ? Thank you
