IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
@meatmarketdenim1 hey thank you.. yes this is my first IH jacket.. I loved it but I kept looking at it and it was weird seeing a jacket not kinda slump on top of itself.. I kept thinking “what the hell would I do with this on a plane - it would take up all the overhead luggage compartment it just does not want to fold”
bizarre train of thought I know but hey that’s what my brain said…. It’s good to know yours is breaking in - I did ask on another forum at the time whether this jacket would break in but someone said no, it just won’t get softer or drape which is what convinced me to return it…. BUT… I can’t stop thinking!!! -
@coldsteel50
Yeah it’s still pretty thick denim for sure but it doesn’t stand up on its own anymore lol. Drapped and formed to my body a lot, really love this jacket. -
You guys think I could rock the lefty in a Large?
Enclosed I compared some other products I own as well in a Large. I want to avoid the jacket to look to boxy but would like the room for a western or UHF to be worn with a T-shirt underneath.
Thanks for your advice!

@Indigo-Alchemist Since the lefty is over dyed, there is no more shrink to be had. If it were me, I would say yes as it should fit comparably to the Olive Drab green type III. If you are happy with that fit, then you should be good.
-
@Indigo-Alchemist fully agree with @goosehd with the addition that I would measure the type 3 you have to get accurate measurements for a direct comparison
-
Thanks @goosehd & @Tago-Mago, will double-check measurements on my olive type III.
That one sits very tight on me, I can wear it on top of a t-shirt and fit the 14oz western underneath but closing it is then possible but not the best option in terms of fit and comfort. -
@Indigo-Alchemist Watch this video: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/5664
Write down your measurements from your olive jacket and send an email to the crew: shop@ironheart.co.uk and see what they have that is close to or bigger than what you currently have. It sounds like you will need a slightly larger jacket to accommodate layering.
The crew is really f’n good at what they do and will be able to help you!!!

I‘m stupid the olive type III is a size 42, that should be XL then. Considering I have some room in the N1, I think I can go with XL in the 19oz lefty as well. Now I just need to decide between the 19oz or the 16oz slubby, that looks also awesome. Any advices on deciding between those two are welcome (I know owning both is the ultimate goal though
🫣).
Thanks for your help guys

@Indigo-Alchemist 14oz western is super thick. It's basically wearing 2 denim jackets. 12oz shirt in my opinion is perfect under a type iii.
