IHJ-139-IND - 19oz Selvedge Denim Type II Jacket - Indigo/Beige

I made the first one in about 2008, there have been a few more made since then

When I bought this jacket, I had mixed feelings. It looks great and the quality is awesome—as usual with IH items—but I wondered if I should have sized up (I bought a size L).

I'm 176 cm (~5'9") and 84 kg (~185 lbs), with a broad, stocky build (wide shoulders and a larger chest). Despite my doubts, I emailed the IH crew and Tyler was super helpful, assuring me that the fit looked spot on for what it is: a Type II jacket.

I've been wearing it a few days a week over the last couple of weeks for first time (thanks, climate change! ) and I'm loving it. I can already feel it breaking in slowly, and since it’s 19oz, it keeps me pretty warm.
Here are a few fit pics of this beauty.

Edit: in the pics attached you can see the 14oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo (IH-634S-142). I will write my comment about the jeans later on.

@vic_1977 how’s it feel buttoned up?

@vic_1977 looks spot on to me

[vic_1977]

@Oaktavia It feels good. It’s a bit snug, but not too tight (bear in mind it’s 19 oz); however, every day I wear the jacket, I notice it’s becoming less snug.
@AdamJ Thanks!

@vic_1977 What size IH shirt do you normally wear? Jacket looks good!
I'm tossing up between a L and an XL.

I am thinking about sizing up on this jacket, because it's 19oz denim is this jacket going to be warm for fall weather?

19oz will feel warm-ish, but it wouldn't keep me warm over a tee with nothing else in true fall weather where I live, or visit frequently (UK, New York)

@AskAxel Thanks for your comment! I usually wear L size in IH t-shirts. If you want to layer, I'd go to XL. Since I wanted to wear just a t-shirt (or the IH Knit Long Sleeved Crew Neck Sweater), L was enough for me.

@vic_1977 Good to know! That’s the same for me. I ended up going with the Large, thanks!
I’ll have to post a photo once it arrives in the mail
