IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

@Tobi it's a tricky to size jacket. The one I sold was a grail piece for me but when I found other jackets that fit much better, the dimensions that weren't really working out for me starter to bother me more and more. Maybe a future run will have the right measurements for you

@Tobi I think the jacket looks perfect. It depends on what you like though. I personally like my trucker jackets to fit slim and hit at the waist or close to. I also don't like to wear bulky clothing underneath. If I want to layer, I layer a parka over the trucker. That's just what I prefer. This one runs pretty long in the torso, even longer than the other modified type iii's I've noticed. I was just in a similar situation with these jackets. I decided to size down because the body length was just too much. I was concerned with sleeve length as well because they hit right at the wrist and I think that's perfect, but was concerned about the creasing and it riding up. The IH crew assured me the sleeves would not come up much at all especially when the jacket wears in. The bit of natural stretching/relaxing offsets the creasing in the sleeves. Time will tell. I really like how mine is fitting now.

@Tobi I concur, we've been doing this long enough to know that feeling when the fit is right. I think the XXXXL will get you there. We can talk ourselves into settling with tshirts only and unbuttoned, but the better choice is only a return. Look forward to seeing the new fit! This fabric is incredible.

I've been sitting on the sidelines for awhile as I bought both the Self Edge / Iron Heart collaboration as well as the 526 LOD. Additionally, my plan was to get the original "Lefty" in indigo as I've wanted one for years. With all that being said, the 526 LOD seemed to have chosen me, as it's just about perfect in what I'm looking for and what I hope to get many miles out of. No disrespect to the other jackets, especially the "Lefty", but I know the LOD is ready for concerts as well as skateboarding with my son (we do longboarding as well as surfskating). Fall is just around the corner, and this special piece of armor that is already forming itself to my body by just wearing it around the house during sweltering summer days outside seems ready to rock and roll. Not sure if this adds to the commentary, but just wanted to chime in anyway. Smoke em if you got em!!

Thanks for the help everyone! I got mine! Can’t wait to put some wear into it as best as I can. First iron heart jacket and hopefully not the last iron heart piece of clothing when the budget permits again
XL fits great on my shoulders with a bit of room if I need layering in cold countries. The sleeves are too long but I can always just add a fold and that helps to accommodate a watch on the wrist too.Thanks iron heart crew for reaching out before processing my order and the service was great! This experience alone makes me want to get another piece soon.
