@sabergirl Thank you I appreciate your advice. The bigger size feels a bit more comfortable especially when layering. Your right I definitely would wear it more. Its funny how just a inch difference in measurements btwn the 2 jackets can change the appearance on how it fits and looks on a person.

@Goz I think I'm in the same physical size dilemma as you where I can fit in an XL and L...I went with the 526J-142 in XL but looking for a different variant in L now. Lol

@j6550 I feel your pain I'm still second guessing my choice, but I will say this if your other Type 3 is a XL I'd go with size Large with the OD you can use the other jacket when u want to wear a hoodie or thick flannel under it and the OD with t-shirts

[j6550]

@Goz I like the way you think

Went hiking a few miles in the LHT today. Temps from 70-75° of pretty humid. Had a thin merino layer(cool not hot). It drizzled quite a bit and I was a little warm but it was fun feeling like I was breaking it in a little.

@CosmoSix5 it seems you have both the 14oz OD Type III and the lefty (OD). Any concluding words to help decide between them? Having the indigo lefty I have some level of "crunch PTSD" and ideally want a type III that I can wear indoors all day (in winter), as opposed to wear "as a jacket only"...

@Tobi I had both too and would say the 142 is more what you are looking for. The lefty od is softer than the indigo one but still hefty and I would not be comfortable with it all day inside. The 14oz one does fade slower and with less contrast but drapes faster

The 14oz is easily your choice. It's really nice and soft. Very comfortable for a denim jacket. I got the lefty to stand up on its own last night. Albeit only shortly but I've worn it 5 or 6 times already . If you're a 46 head to the buying and selling page
There is a little more room in the sleeve on the 14oz also. My watch and bracelets have a hard time under the lefty, not so noticeable with 14oz

Thanks @FlavourFade and @CosmoSix5! In the meantime I have successfully talked myself into snapping up the last OD lefty xxxl on IH UK. I have the indigo version.. and if the OD is even only a bit softer I can live with that
Also reconsidered my use case and would likely not wear a Type III indoors at work all day anyway. Now I just need to resist the urge to buy the purple UHF later today..

@Tobi I'm 100% confident purple would look great with an OD type 3

Don't I know it! I have, however, discovered that I already own 6 UHF, and also sizing is not working out... so easy to pass...

@Tobi Sometimes you just have stay strong

@Tobi I'm happy my advice meant nothing to you
It was the same advice that meant nothing to me either.....

[Tobi]

@CosmoSix5 no offence .. appreciate the response!

[CosmoSix5]

LeftyOD over kasuri dyed PBJ. The 70° days are over for a while after today!

[j6550]

Ugh....I just pulled the trigger on one. Couldn't resist.
