Have 21oz Type 3s been made in ladies sizes before?
I'd love to get hold of one for my girl as a birthday present, she's actively taken an interest in my denim/IH collection so I thought it'd be cute.
She even insisted on wearing my Wabash jacket out last weekend
“𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

@T4920 no answer to your question but just a big JEEJ for you! A girl and she loves denim boy isn’t she a keeper?
-
@T4920 I don't know if there has been a ladies specific size in the 21oz type 3, but depending on her size you may get away with one of the smaller size men's jackets (either the Men's small or XS).
My wife is typically a women's medium in IH shirts and jackets which is around a xs or small in the men's. The tapering is not quite the same though from the men's to women's cuts.
EDIT: I just checked the online IH Japan website and do not see the Type 3 in ladies sizes.

@T4920 This might help you with sizing:
@Giles said in Something For The Ladies:
We have decided that we will start stocking a few ladies sized shirts in the more popular styles. So inbound we have.
Ladies Small and Ladies Medium (both smaller than our normal XS) in:
IHSH-13, IHSH-21 and IHSH-33
More will follow.
Sizing will be published in the appropriate threads when we have them here.

@goosehd planning to grab the ladies herringbone UHF from the outlet with my next order, thanks for the info! I think XS would be best, she's 160cm and quite slim.

@jordanscollected I would really appreciate that, thank you!

@Luijim78 the sleeve length is a huge difference for the men's vs women's shirts. I bought an XS men's flannel for my wife and she had to shorten the sleeves like 4-5" as well as have it tapered on the sides.

@RoxRocks86 Need your expertise on Type III's and sizing. @T4920 needs some help if possible.
-
@T4920 does she already own a denim jacket or a jacket that she likes the fit of that you could measure the IH way? That might be the best bet in trying to figure out sizing. It might also help if you know if she likes her clothes fitted or loose.
I’m 4’9” 100lbs and right off the bat the fit of XS men’s shirts & jackets are all too long and baggy on me, plus I have a short torso. But I like the oversized fit. If ladies sizing for shirts are available I typically go for that.
Fit pics for reference * edit to add this is the IHJ-142od in small.

@RoxRocks86 ...as I've said before, You ROCK!! Thank you

@T4920 well looky here!! Man I remember when I first started measuring Morgan’s clothes. She’s really slim as well. Some of the XS Iron Heart westerns I could make work. I’ve got her a 33T and a Purple Acorn UHF in XS that fits her well. But not all XS works for her. It has to be on the smaller side of that size. With many XS shirts still being too big.
Are you trying to surprise her? I remember sneaking measuring sessions when she’d be getting ready or showering or something. -
@RoxRocks86 thanks for taking the time
feel like we could probably make an XS work with a slightly oversized fit
