      How was this jacket when you first got it? Was it really rigid etc? I only have one type 3 and it's from a different brand, I'm kind of scared to put the time in to break it in but would love to get it all flimsy and get that "Second skin" feel when wearing it

        @Jord maybe consider the 21oz type iii if you're worried about this one taking a long time to break in?

        The denim will be soft/maliable from the go and start to drape beautiful and mold to your body shape within a few weeks.

              @Giles thanks. Yeah, not really into guessing on a $500 jacket and shrinking it too much, but if it's done right the fit looks second to none. I absolutely love the look of this type 3. Best overall fitting one I've seen on people. I dig the slightly slimmer sleeves. I was considering the OD version since the guess work is taken out and it's the same fit. I'm just personally into classic indigo or straight up black denim, not OD. Thanks though. I might just have to take my chances on this one.

                  Otherwise go for the 21oz like @T4920

                    You can get a good idea of what the 526L will be size-wise after soaking/washing by looking at the same tag size in the 526Lod, they are the exact same jackets, all we have done with the Lod is overdye the L version.

                              @Kasi Man those are some sick fades! You've motivated me to try fade a denim jacket, think I'll go for the 21oz like you and @T4920 suggested though, so thank you both!

                                I need a new jacket and advice. At first I was going to buy 21 oz. Kind of default choice.
                                But the old wolves on this forum wrote that the 21 oz sleeves are too wide and slouch. Rather good for big framed guys (with somewhat present biceps) than slimmer ones like me.
                                They recommended 14 oz saying it has slimmer sleeve cut. So I decided to pass on 21 oz, but hasn't stop on 14 oz yet.
                                Can anyone, please, share their sleeve experience with this 19 oz super stiff beast? Watched videos, browsed pictures, but still couldn't figure out the sleeve thing.
                                Is it wide like with 21 oz? How would it be compared to 21 oz cut - wider, slimmer?
                                Thanks everybody in advance.
                                P.S. Stiffness is not scaring me out. Years ago started with 21 oz Unbranded which was rather breaking me in ))) So as a guy who knows the drill I am curious about 19 oz 🙂

                                  @nurlank the sleeves are thinner, I own both and the 21oz has slightly wider sleeves, however it is not so much the weight but the tension, I own a 23oz Piger Works type1 and it is less rigid and hard than this 19oz left-handed at least at the beginning. If it can help you I'll post photos of the two jackets

                                    Wide sleeves aren't necessarily a bad thing for skinny armed dudes. It makes layering with a UHF under much easier. I have slubby T2 that has wide sleeves that I love because I can layer this way. My T1 has super slim sleeves and I can't layer anything but a tshirt. So it depends on what you're after. It's nice to have options with a jacket that has wider sleeves and one slimmer...I have skinny arms and can say this. Just my 2 cents. It wouldn't deter me from buying an amazing heavyweight 21oz jacket.

                                    Can anyone, please, share their sleeve experience with this 19 oz super stiff beast?

                                    The sleeves on mine are pretty great. I can layer an UHF and wear just a tshirt. It's a wonderful, versatile jacket.

                                    Is it wide like with 21 oz? How would it be compared to 21 oz cut - wider, slimmer?

                                    It might depend on the size, but the sleeve width measurements are not posted in the size charts. You can shoot the IH shop email and they may be able to answer this question for you with measurements.

                                    Thanks everybody in advance.

                                    You are welcome! This jacket is just incredible and I highly recommend it. It is a wonderful beast.

                                            @nurlank I was debating the two jackets myself. I could be wrong, but I think all the IH type 3's use the same pattern, but the fabric behaves differently. The 19oz LHT conforms to your body more, especially after soaking. So that's why it looks slimmer in the arms. I just picked up an IH corduroy jacket and that one fits slim in the arms as well, it's an awesome fit.
