IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo
-
@Chibs I'm not going to lie, I struggle with sleeve lengths in most IH shirts. Something I have to live with by folding sleeves over. With 21oz jacket I didn't want to have this problem. So I am thrilled it sits nice on my wrist! Can't wait to hear and possibly see how yours fits. Enjoy!

So I ended up ordering a size Large and XL to cover my grounds and in the notes I told them to try and find 18.5 shoulders, around 22" chest and sleeves no longer than 25.7. Those are the exact measurements of my 14oz type 3 that I bought last year. Had lucid dreams last night they weren't able to get my size.
Woke up this morning and got their closest measurements in both sizes. Both no bueno! I was gutted, but all hope wasn't lost! Drove to Dutil Denim on Queen street because I was notified the night before they just got stock in. Arrived before they opened
and they weren't even unpacked from the boxes.
So first I tried on size L and it was way smaller than what I wanted, then I tried on an XL but it was a bit too big, especially in the sleeves. They had plenty of stock so I tried on an other XL and YESSS! Fit was even better than my 14oz. Just some quick iphone pics. (I really need to clean this mirror)
I tried on a couple more (Scott who was helping me was awesome and patient, as always) but none compared to that third one I had on.
So I left with it.
Got home and have it on now.
Measured and Shoulders are 18.5" (iron heart way) Chest is 22" and Sleeve is 25.5" which is effing perfect imo!
So I now have my grail jacket in an ideal size! Never thought I would say this about an XL though haha. This has been a grail ever since I found out about Iron Heart last year and I'm so happy to now have it 🥰Thanks to Scott from Dutil, and Alex Freeman for your help!

I messaged the IH crew when ordering and asked for the longest sleeves possible. They let me know they were able to send me the longest sleeve measurement they in stock. Thanks to the IH crew and the excellent customer service

@Chibs great result for you fella! Fits really well and glad you are happy! Clearly a jacket you were determined to get! Getting that sleeve length in an XL is a score! Just shows the benefits of being in person for such items. Enjoy it!

We just received our stock so anyone who missed on sizes, we got you. Also a little wear update on Heath's personal jacket he's had for just shy of a year.

Totally! You’re so lucky you can just casually walk into Ironheart HQ and cherry pick the way you did. I’d love to do that someday. In Japan too! Feeling like I got really lucky with this jacket and the way it fits. Compared to the measurements online, the ones I tried on that didn’t at all fit and all of the ones Alex went through at HQ, it’s crazy I was able to get what I got.
This is peak Chibs!
Went for our morning walk @ 10°C and my thick hoodie felt perfect underneath.

So that original photo that you posted with Heath in a baseball cap was one of the determining factors of me wanting this jacket. Lighting was perfect and it was such an epic pic!

@Chibs I believe you found a unicorn! Enjoy!
-
@Chibs hell yeah! Looking forward to see you beat yours up.

I could use some reassurance that I made the right sizing choice here... how do you all think this XL fits? I'm sure it will feel a lot better after a few wears... but it feels a little snug right now.
-
@Rangadello I think it looks good. Shoulders and sleeves look great. Can you get a hoodie underneath?
-
@Chibs Good call... yeah it actually feels great with a hoodie! I could probably use to lose a few pounds in the belly... but that hoodie test gives me confidence that I got the right size. Thanks!
