IHJ-122-IND - 14oz Broken Twill Selvedge Denim Work Jacket - Indigo
-
Howdy folks, this is my first IH jacket and really first heritage jacket. I went for it for lots of reasons namely the zipper. Sometimes it really sucks being tall and thin but IH does a good job.
Wondering if I should try to size down to Lg? I have an XL here bc of my broad shoulders. As seen, it fits well but not “fitted”. Looks great with a flannel and can fit a hoodie snugly
I’m also curious if hot washing/dry might assist to snug it up a touch. No idea how these things drape and break in over time!
6’2” 170lb
19” shoulders
39-40 chest
Thanks folks

@deathbydenim tbh I think that fit is pretty good, doesn't look baggy with a tee but you can layer if needed. The fabric should mold to your body, shoulders drape better when you wear the jacket a bit and the sleeves will crease and shorten a bit with that. Normal washes should not result in shrinking but here are folks who shrinked there shirts with super hot washes, for me that never really worked. A size down could work too but I would look at the measurements very closely.

Thanks for the feedback!

@deathbydenim looks good. Comments on the shoulders and sleeves are spot on. I've got a few inches on you and went XXL so seems about right. Hoping my sleeves don't shorten much. 3X would've been tooo big.

This has very quickly become one of my favorite IH pieces, the lightweight denim is perfect for the shoulder season here, I like the length alot more than I thought initially, have worn it every day since it arrived
-
@deathbydenim It's a taste thing I guess but I would have wanted to at least try a smaller size. Arms, shoulders, and torso all seem to have plenty of space in that XL and the sleeves are fairly long. A smaller size may be a bit short though.

5 days straight. Started this am with an Aero but it warmed up this evening and reached for it yet again.

Luckily for everyone I did order an L from a local retailer and it got delivered today! I’ll be sure to share when I get the chance. The comparison will be interesting

@CosmoSix5 that look is fire. I dig the shorts!
I was just thinking about using this jacket as the summer months come through and this definitely looks shorts compatible

Lovely jacket

@CosmoSix5 These are some great shots of this jacket; you've got it paired perfectly!! Will be interesting to see the evolution of it.
Cheers!!

Possible daily driver till October-ish. Great jacket! Inside chest pocket would be perfect. I just need to carry less stuff....

Mine just arrived from blackblue . I was on the fence between the 122 and 123. Have the IHSEX25 Type III OD so I went with this. Stuck with tts L. I think after 5 minutes it’s my favorite jacket.

Morning 2 with this beast.

I'm seriously considering picking this jacket up before it sells out. Can anyone confirm if it's light enough to wear in the summer? Right now I'm wearing the IH-526Lod, and I know it'll get too warm to wear it next month.

@johnfredmurray it's definetely something completely different than the lefty or even the "normal" 14oz denim. I had my 123(the overdyed one) with me last weekend for a short trip and it was 20-25°c and I was able to wear it open with a tee most days at least a couple hours. I would say it's the best midweight option IH offers to wear in summer
