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

@Chibs looks great on you man! I wonder if the sleeves being longer is more that they “feel” longer cause the shoulders and chest have stretched a bit with wear. My IHJ-86 stretched about 1/2” in the chest and shoulders, but then tighten back up with a wash.

@Mizmazzle Thanks! Could be. When Scott took it out of the box, it was flat from being jam packed with all the other jackets. They ordered a lot! I noticed the arms were wide and creased at the sides from that.

@Chibs One of the things you can try and do to shorten the sleeves is dampen them and try to set the creases. They will do it on their own with time and wear, but you can speed the process up a little.

[Chibs]

@goosehd thanks man! I think I’ll just enjoy the jacket as is and see how things progress naturally. Sort of digging the longer sleeves tbh.

[Mizmazzle]

@Chibs only solution now is to go out and get yourself a motorcycle to properly use that extra sleeve length. ️

Got my jacket from ISP yesterday. It's a little big over a tee but nothing bad. Fits great over a thick tee and kersey today... As it's rainy and 58°. The size down would be a risk around the belly and sleeves.

I received my jacket from Ironheart Germany today but I’m not too happy with it unfortunately. Button spacing seems all over the place, something that shouldn’t happen on a jacket in this price range imho. I know the spacing is different for the top button and the one below but this is on another level. I think I’ll contact Ironheart Germany for an exchange, what do you think?

Unfortunately, I have to agree. The button spacing would bother me as well.

@Chibs looks fantastic on you and loving the updates. I wore mine again today (I think this is my 5th wear) no change on arm length on mine. I can see the difference you mentioned but just embrace it as it looks great! I have given up trying to button it, so tough it hurts my delicate fingers. I can't wait for it soften and it's so breathable. I had a gentleman in a shop compliment the jacket today which was nice.

[Niney]

@Marcel this is disappointing to see and read, the spacing is way off compared to mine and the others in their pics. I'm hopeful a replacement can be arranged ASAP.

[Niney]

@CosmoSix5 looks great on you. Are you refraining from any restock/new? Seems you are getting them all.

[CosmoSix5]

@Niney this is my first restock in a while. I sold my 526 back in February thinking this was close lol. I definitely have a problem. I've been waiting on a 555 xhs restock as well as the 292 but that looks like it will be a SEXI CPO instead. Then I'll be looking for fw25.

[Niney]

@CosmoSix5 sounds great fella, I enjoy your posts and pics so keep it going. I have 17oz 555 which I love, the 21oz stretch, 18oz didn't fit me but the 17 was spot on. I do wonder if I would fit xhs. I shall certainly pop down to IHUK and try them on. Bring on FW25!

[CosmoSix5]

@Niney I regret passing on the sst 555's. Just couldn't pay what they were asking. My size is the only one sold out too lol. Appreciate the comments! Follow me on Instagram @chain_stitched !

[Niney]

@CosmoSix5 the sst were lovely, but to fit my upper leg the waist was too big! Didn't have this issue with the 17oz, perfect all over and plenty of space for the waist to stretch. Added you on insta! (empty profile just for lurking).

[Chibs]

@Niney hah glad I’m not the only one! The more we button them the easier they’ll be to button up. Hopefully!!

[Niney]

@Chibs this morning trying to button the jacket. i was thinking, is there a special technique I'm unaware of? Very hard!!

[sabergirl]

Take some needle-nose pliers and stretch the button holes. OG forum trick

[mudhogen]

XXL fits perfect. Thank you to the IH crew for sending the xxl with the longest sleeve measurements
