XL fits more like the 14IB. Looks like the winner to me!

Unbuttoned XL OD
Does this look too sloppy? Thoughts if it will get worse or better as it breaks in?

No and IH denim always looks better as it breaks in.

I love that Cowboy Bebop Shirt ️! Cool look with the lefty!

@pechelman unhelpful I know but your 14ib is looking incredible, I need to get some miles on mine

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@DeeDee85 I thought exactly the same! Even though I don’t have one .

[DeeDee85]

@RobeOfTheMagi the mistake I’m making with mine is putting it in rotation as a summer jacket and then having 30•C plus summers.. I need to stick to it through this winter at the expense of my heavier stuff

I know it's only my 2 Cents, however I did lose almost half a Size on an 18Oz OD CPO Denim Shirt with a really hot Bath Soak (60° + with Woolite added and agitation).

This Denim also was not meant to shrink with having been through the aggressive OD process but sizing definitely went down across the board.

This was on an XL that was just a little loose. And final dimensions were almost right bang in the middle between L and XL averages which worked out to perfection.

The Woolite heped ensure no real colour loss.

Hope this helps.

Mark.

FWIW I think the XL looks fine, and will be more comfortable in all conditions. You’re just going to get more wear out of it, and be able to layer. No brainer for me to choose the larger one, here. The difference between it and the large is negligible enough that functionality wins for me every time.

@sabergirl agree with this and I think if you plan to button it up at all I’d go with the XL

The way the large bunches up on the back like that makes me think it’s too small.

[Goz]

Hey Iron Heart family I need your advice on the fit of my jacket is it to small should I size up?

[sabergirl]

Fit looks perfect to me @Goz ! How’s your comfort level? How does it feel with a layer or two underneath?

[Goz]

@sabergirl Its a little tight with a hoodie under it but not too bad

[sabergirl]

I’d say it depends how you want to wear it! If you’re good with just a tee or something thin underneath, then the current fit is stellar. It looks like the right fit to me.

@sabergirl Thank you I have a larger size coming tomorrow and I'll post pics to compare

[CosmoSix5]

@Goz looks really good! If you bought it for the shoulder seasons as a priority can size up but I'd have a hard time returning that one!

[sabergirl]

Still looks doable to me, @Goz . But the real question will be, how does it feel? Comfort is the key. You gotta want to wear it all the time.

@sabergirl It doesn't feel bad just a little tight. Question.....will the jacket stretch?
