IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo
-
Thanks @Mizmazzle ! It was really a great time!
This jacket always makes me both want another type 3 and not. Want because it's so damn cool and not because I'd probably have FOMO wearing a different one.
@Fishizzle I agree that getting in touch with the Crew would be really helpful. They are always great to deal with.
I can't recall the exact measurements of the batch I ordered from, but I am pretty sure the measurements can change a little from batch to batch. So its hard to say if sizing up 3 years ago is the same as sizing up today.
Personally I go off my chest measurement as my main deciding factor. -
@Fishizzle I do it like @tody when I want to layer or go with the same size when I want to wear a TIII with only a tee... But definetely get in touch my two TIII are XXXL with very similar measurements from the IH size chart but fit totally different
-
@tody @Crease @FlavourFade Appreciate the suggestions. I went with an XL and the fit is just what I was looking for. Large would have definitely been too snug.
-
Any news on restock?
-
Nvm, saw a June restock.
Guess my best chance at copping one is at self edge, but dislike their whole return process
-
Fit check?
Plan on wearing it with a heavyweight hoodie only.
Might still be a tad too big. Should i return it and wait for the XXL to restock, or would a soak shrink it up a bit?
-
@tody thanks!
-
Downsized to XXL.
Fit check:
-
@tody very little restriction even with the heavyweight hoodie. Comfortable.
Thought about pushing it down to XL but then I probably wouldn’t be able to layer. I keep this!
Sleeves might be a tad too big but hopefully it’ll shrink with creasing and washes.

Looks like you have room in the back to go down one more size for a more fitted look but loose some layering options. Your call obviously but i like the type iii fitted.
-
I think I can go 1 more down, I will report next week with a fit check, ty my dude
-
Looks great to me. If it were me I would keep this size. I value comfort and a jacket I can button up though. Just depends on what you’re after.
-
@MassiveThighs Another thing to consider is how you are going to wear the CPO and 526. In my opinion, the 526 looks best fitted over a tee and a great pair of jeans. Simple, classic, and always looks good. The CPO does look really good layered and I like the hoodie underneath. It also works well with just about everything.
Mix them up as I said in the other thre (293). Gives you options for whatever you want to do.

I second this, in my opinion a looser comfortable fitting jacket > form fitting jacket. My 19oz Lefty fits like the one you have pictured @MassiveThighs and I highly value being able to button it up over an IH hoodie, UHF, Western, etc. A jacket sized just for a tshirt is for just that.
Again, certainly relies on what you are after.
-
@goosehd ya I just realized that cpo looks better without a hoodie underneath. Do u think I should go with xxl or xl after looking at my pics in the 293 thread?
-
@Oaktavia ok cool! I think I could go 1 more down, but wouldn’t be able to layer, which I want to do..
-
@MassiveThighs I see jackets as outer layers while CPOs I wear the same as Westerns. These pieces are versatile; able to be worn with some variety depending on one's preference.
