IH-526J-SLBod - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Overdyed

[MassiveThighs]

Is it true this piece shrinks more during the overdye process?

Does anyone wear this and also the 526pj? If so, does the 526pj fit a bit looser than this piece?

@MassiveThighs The overdyeing process removes all shrink from the garment. You will not/can not expect any more shrinkage.

@MassiveThighs I have both jackets of the 526pj and it is more loose, the sleeves are extremely wider, I don't know if you can see the difference in these photos of him, but it is quite substantial

[MassiveThighs]

@Luijim78 thanks for that. I’ve
Tried the 526pj and yes, sleeves are much wider compared to this slbod.

@JoshC I'm not upset sorry if it seemed that way. I just referred to it as my experience with the old buttons/dye process. I've got the return label and we're all set up. Thanks

[MassiveThighs]

@Luijim78 are you the same size in both jackets?

[goosehd]

@MassiveThighs You really should stop being concerned about tag sizes and look at published measurements. Tag sizes are only a guide…

[goosehd]

@MassiveThighs For me personally, I have tag size 33-36 jeans, and medium - XXL in shirts/jackets. 95% of those fit me the way I like/prefer because I trusted the measurements. The 5% that don’t fit is because I went with tag size.

[Luijim78]

@MassiveThighs yes they are both 34 (XS)

[Luijim78]

@MassiveThighs yes I think you should take a jacket and a pair of jeans that you love and measure them and use these to compare them with the indicative tables, very often not only does my size vary from item to item but also from batch to batch of items. Of course you will probably fall within a range of 2/3 sizes and not all items are suitable for all physiques unfortunately (at least in my case, I often have to give up because it just wouldn't work on me ). But this is also part of the game and in any case there will always be something new coming out that will make us lose our minds

@Luijim78 Excellent post!! Thank you

[MassiveThighs]

@Luijim78 thanks. Looks like I’m an XL in the 526PJ and XXL in SLBod. I just got my XL 526pj and it fits much roomier than the XL SLBod that I had. Pretty sure it’s a different batch like you said and variance across sizing.

[MassiveThighs]

Switched my XL to XXL. For some reason the measurements I received is way off from what I just measured(smaller measurements), but it worked out lol.

@GTPowers looks fantastic!

I am so glad these are out of stock! Saw this today at Gosport and loved it and now loving it even more after reading comments and pics. Note to self - I cannot get a fourth type 3!!

@GTPowers dude...your jacket looks like its lost almost all its blackness. Its incredible!! Really got me thinking hard on this one!

[IH-GARY]

@Mizmazzle I picked one up just before Christmas after getting to feel the fabulous texture at the Rivet & Hide store launch event. It's like the UHSF of Type 3's! So soft and comfortable to wear, especially indoors during the colder days! I hope over time I can achieve a similar evo result to @GTPowers !

[Mizmazzle]

@IH-GARY dude I agree the texture on this denim looks insane. I love the idea of it being so soft and comfortable too.

I’m looking for a jacket that has some nice drape and heft, but also crazy comfy. I’m curious how warm it is? I’m looking to wear this only over a tee and hoping I can get away with using it as a lighter spring/fall/ cooler summer nights type piece.
