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

@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.

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.
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.
-
@MassiveThighs Personally, I can’t stand shirts/hoodies/layers hanging out below the bottom of a 526 and the reason I just like them fitted with t shirts.
The CPO is perfect for layering as it will cover anything that hangs out.
Just my $.02
-
@goosehd ah ok, makes sense.
For the cpo, I’m just wearing a button down, so should it be as fitted as the type 3? I’m going back and forth between xl and xxl..
-
@MassiveThighs I honestly think you would look better with an xl. There is quite a bit of excess material in your xxl pics through the body. I take it your lats/chest are probably your hardest area to fit, but it still looks as if you could size down.
From the way it looks you have quite an athletic physique (based upon previous pictures) and have spent a lot of time in the weight room/gym. You've worked hard for that physique and should show it off by wearing clothes that fit smaller and not hide it by wearing looser fits.
Once again, my $.02.
-
@goosehd I was thinking the xl too. For some reason I’ve wore clothing a bit larger my whole life.
I’ve just realized these types of clothing require a slimmer fit to look well, especially the type 3
-
personally i find most iron heart stuff looks a bit better on the tighter/fitted side than the larger baggy side, but thats just me

Curious to know if your IH sizing in these is the same as your IH shirts?

Downsized to XXL.
Fit check:
Here’s the XL! Little snug here and there but manageable. FYI I’m also at my heaviest atm, and I think once I start laying down the beignets and donuts, this would fit even more better. I think I’ll keep this one!
-
@MassiveThighs Golden/perfect fit!!
-
@goosehd crazy how I was wearing that xxxl
-
Have y’all soaked these before wearing? Just lost 1/2” on the shoulders. Just what I needed!
-
I love all these jackets. I own two so far from my list to get. This is 5th in my list from iron heart jackets.
There’s one thing I wish every jacket here had and that is selvedge cuffs and other areas for fun. Such as inside pocket or the waist button areas !

Picked up one of these from SENY about a year ago and it's one of my favorite jackets. Just an incredible denim, and I love the weight of it.
I had an issue where I had to cuff the arms to get them the proper length, but once I was wearing it cuffed, the wrist holes were too tight and I couldn't get my hands through if I was wearing a watch.
So, I found a fix for this - Soak the cuffs in warm water, stuff a ball jar through the arm and into the cuff, and let it stretch out overnight. Now the thing fits perfect. I did feel a little insane doing this, but, couldn't be happier with the outcome.
