IHJ-86-BLK - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Black/Black
-
my wife got me the tag size L and i swapped it for the XL when i picked it up in store. the L was a tailored fit and would have been fine if it only ever had a t shirt under it, though I suspected once the creases set in the sleeves they would have been too short. never imagined I'd be an XL in anything haha, but it was a nice lesson in going off the measurements and not the tag (shout out to @goosehd for the best write up on that). for reference, I'm a tag S in my Dickies jackets and tops.

Thanks for the input @noescapin and @indigo_nico! Much appreciated. Looks like an XL would be great.

@dwils I ordered XL. This jacket is constructed with exceptional durability. The 14oz model in this particular design boasts substantial thickness. Additionally, I observed that the Large size I initially ordered exhibited a somewhat snug fit in the arm area. I am a 5-foot-11 individual with a fitness build, weighing 165 pounds, but I do not possess an overly muscular physique. I currently own a Large Type III jacket from Tellason that fits me well. However, when I used the same measurements from this jacket, it proved to be inaccurate.

Hi guys!
I just ordered this jacket which will be my first type III. Looking forward to get it!Question; this is Sanforized & One-Washed, is it a must to soak it before use? What do you guys think?
Thanks!
-
@Sunnergren. No soak. needed. Its sandorized and washed so all or most shrinkage is already remove.
-
Thank you @yannis!
I also want to say thank you to @Mizmazzle for tirelessly showing his progress on this jacket. Made my decision much easier. Will be the first time wearing something I XXL. Also thanks to Josh at Iron Heart UK for the actual measurements. Will post pictures next week.

@Sunnergren we’re on some sort of IH cosmic parallel path. I also just ordered one of these! (And the 888XHSib arrive tomorrow lol)
Also gotta give props to @Mizmazzle for his pics. They put me over the edge for the fade needs.
-
@Sunnergren I wouldn’t worry about soaking it before first wear. But when it comes times to wash it, def soak it first to avoid marbling.
-
@dwils that’s awesome, really like having an iron-heart-breaking-in-period-friend
I’ve just worn my 888 4 days, and now had to leave them at home for a work trip. I can’t stand it for a 9 hour flight, but I really want to put them on again. However the back of my knee and my hips are thanking me for the paus
I think that the black jacket will complement the dark blue of the jeans nicely.Thank you for the insight @Mizmazzle I will absolutely follow your advice.

Fresh out the paper bag! This is an XL. Fits a touch tighter than my XL type III Superblack (tho the measurements were darn close) but the XXL measurements on these looked a little too big for my liking. I tried a thin layer under it and it worked.
What do we think!?
-
@dwils it really is a handsome jacket and I think that it fits you very well. Great buy!
-
I love the jacket already.
-
Thanks for all the comments everyone.
Psyched to watch this one change through the summer! -
Not the best of photos, but the one I had time to take. I love this jacket and it is a part of me now. Very happy that I went with XXL (44) on this. It works with a hoodie underneath but I can feel it in the arms. With a T-shirt it is perfect closed but also works open.
