@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

I just have to say, this is my favorite jacket iron heart has ever made and I could not imagine a garment fitting me better if I had it custom tailored. Dare I say, the best type II ever made. And I’ve tried a whole lot of them. The length is just as short as my unmodified 526j too, which is coincidentally my other all time favorite jacket, and the best type III ever made in my humble opinion.

I already admittedly own two of these, one in a L and one in XL. L is fantastic for a t shirt only like-a-glove fit, and I wear the XL when I want to layer a 12oz western underneath. Both fit immaculately. I also have to say, I know there was some discourse regarding the inclusion of the back cinch, and I thoroughly love it. If nothing else, it makes the back of the jacket more visually interesting which goes a long way.

To be honest, I’m probably going to buy another L and another XL, and hope that those 4 jackets get me to the end of the road.

@hammertoe1 Thats great to hear! The length and buckle back definitely appealed to me! I hate how long so many modern denim jackets are.

What’s your build? I had intended to wear this over my 10 and 12oz shirts but if it’s that snug might have to exchange for an XL…

I’m 6‘2, about 185ish lbs with a 42“ chest.
