IH-526J-142OD - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III - Overdyed Indigo
-
@CosmoSix5 I am still pondering this one vs the OD lefty. I have the indigo lefty, and despite the softening effect of the OD process I assume the OD lefty is still a completely different beast to the 14oz. The rational choice for comfort and summer wearability would be the 14oz...

Is it the same denim before the OD?
Yes. Basically, we just OD the indigo version of anything overdyed.

How has sizing been in these? I’m getting very mixed signals. Going by IH, Dant, Iron Shop, I would have a smidge of layering room in an XL. Other shops have theirs measured in a way that an XXL may be too tight.
You need to check how they measure when trying to compare, you can not assume that you are comparing apples with apples.....

@CosmoSix5 the denim is a beauty isn’t it, really glad you love it and nailed the fit!
-
@CosmoSix5 Best choice you could make! This jacket is perfectly weighted and becomes super soft within no time. Also the different shades of black and blue depending on the light are amazing. Well, the fading is tough as nails but if you commit to it it looks perfectly with a bit of wear!

Just want to confirm before I buy one of these, is the recentish restock still sulphur dyed? Or was it switched to the new eco-friendly dye? Since it was a restock, I figure there’s a chance the switch could have been made without product pages being updated. I’m keen on getting the sulphur patina one last time if it is the old method.
(I have a couple of the new method OD now and they are great, but I had one of the old OD that I had to give up and I’d love to have an example of that too.)

@Freeman Yeah, I only wanted to confirm because other OD products earlier this year (like the 1955S OD) made the switch to the non-sulphur process. The 14oz restock seems to have been right around the switch, and I could see a world where a change was made without anyone remembering the product pages needed to be updated. Especially if it's the guys in Japan doing the OD (not sure where it happens) because they've definitely been known to switch things up without telling the UK guys.

Does anyone know if there is a planned restock of this jacket anytime in the near future?
-
@mxhansen It was last re-stocked in January so there is probably a bit of a wait for the next.

@hjl360 thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

Can anyone comment on the capacity for this jacket to stretch?
I picked up an XXL from Self Edge and I’m not sure if I should keep it or not. The sleeves and shoulders fit well, but it’s a bit snug to actually button it up all the way.
Looks like the 3XL is sold out, but the 19oz SEXIH is available in a bigger size….
Anyone willing to share their thoughts would be much appreciated. -
One more quick question about proper sizing etc… hoping to get some help with taking proper measurements.
According to IH, this XXL should measure 23.9" in the chest. According to Self Edge, it should be around 22.5" (taking their 45" and dividing by two so we are comparing apples to apples)
This is the jacket I received, maybe you can tell me which way I should be measuring? If I lay the jacket out and measure from seam to seam across the chest, I get 22"
I know this looks pretty close to the 22.5 that SE claims, but the tape starts at the left hand seam and my measurement stops where the right hand seam falls. If I move the tape all the way over and measure edge to edge how the jacket lays, I get something closer to 23.5".
Which method should I be using to measure the chest size of these jackets? Would you say this jacket has a 22" chest or a 23.5"?
Did I just happen to receive a jacket with smaller chest measurements? Hoping that SE can help me find one just a bit bigger. Is that a seasonable expectation?
Thank you for reading. Also worth mentioning, this piece is amazing. Thanks to everyone who built up this thread and helped me decide to pull the trigger on this one.
