@Luijim78 Thanks much for your detailed info as well as the comparison pictures. When I was looking at the sizing between the OD Lefty and the Indigo Lefty, it almost looks like I should go with a size smaller in the Indigo, as even with shrinkage, it's still going to be a bit too big. Unfortunately, the smaller size in the Indigo is sold out, so I waited too long to jump on it. Not the end of the world given I have the LOD, but I've always wanted an Indigo Lefty as well. Think I will sell the Self Edge / Iron Heart collaboration jacket so I have the funds available if the Indigo Lefty becomes available at one of Iron Heart's retail partners.
Anyway, thanks again @Luijim78 for your help!!

@MassiveThighs I know you have had difficulty in the past picking out jackets, but you seem to know what you like and should go with the size that you think will work.
-
I think both sizes should work out. XXL be slightly roomier while an XL will look more fitted. I kinda want to wear this lefty all season long so maybe I’ll go with the XXL for room to layer.
-
@MassiveThighs Sounds like a plan and you should go for it.

Ordering now, will come back for a fit pic.

@Luijim78 Thanks for info

On Friday, I proudly told my girlfriend that I had been sensible and that I didn’t need a Type III at the moment, and therefore hadn’t ordered one.
Fast forward three days: I contacted Iron Heart about sizing … and placed the order.
Resistance is futile. I’m weak. But I’m genuinely excited about the jacket and can’t wait to break it i

Yeah that looks awesome, makes me really excited to receive mine, also happy to see in the pre/post shrink the horizontal measurements shrank the least just like the tests

Here a picture of my lefty indigo from the actual restock on the left and my lefty OD from the last restock with the "old" OD technic. I normally wear size XXL. The lefty OD is size XXL and the lefty Indigo is size XL.
The picture of the XL indigo is post soak and wash. The soak was about one hour by ~55 degrees and after that it got a wash in the machine by 30 degrees and 600 spins per minute. Then I hanged it dry. Everything was done inside out.

I tried the XXL and it was way too big. If the XXL Lod suits you well I'm pretty sure going with a XL in the indigo will make you happy too. Especially after a good soak/wash.

@robinvonbatman sounds good. And yes, looking at measurements and some soak tests, I was a bit worried the XL lefty would be too small in the chest after a soak, but looks like the ch est doesn’t shrink too much.
Thank all yall for the soak tests and pics, helps out a lot
-
Thank you! It’s always a pleasure to help. It’s a bit snug but I could fit a 9oz flannel underneath the lefty and still close the buttons. But for the perfect fit I was aiming for just wearing it with a t-shirt.
