IHJ-86-BLK - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Black/Black

@lossforwords the sleeves on your jacket would be too short for my liking. if you factor in that there will be creases in the elbow that will further shorten the length of the sleeve, that may be a decisive factor. you may gain a little in the chest, but seeing how trimmed the jacket fits now, that may be manageable.
you could also always get in touch with the crew, and ask them if they can find you a jacket with dimensions that may suit you better in a specifc area. -
@lossforwords If I’m just looking at the pictures I think that you could benefit from a medium, looking specifically at your shoulders. The length differens between a S and M according to the size chart is just 1cm/0,39inch. And especially if you want any layering options, that’s how I use mine.
Then again, if you would just rock it with a tshirt and mostly open the Small should be fine.

Loving this jacket and wearing it all the time. I do have a friendly design/production question I’m guessing is for @ShopatIronHeart …
What’s behind the decision to go with the white twill pockets? Why not the same black denim as the jacket itself? (This is what’s done on my other IHJ 9526PJ for example).
Not saying I dislike it or not (and I dig the crocking) - just curious what went into the decision.
Thanks!
-
@JoshC much appreciated! And that would make sense - double denim there could be bulky. Thanks for looking into it!
-
I'm really glad I chose this jacket... I'm already looking forward to the first fades
-
@Mindfulbiscuit Definitely like the large better. How do you find the comfort between the two? I am trying to decide between med and large (usually wear 38R slim suit) and I hate anything that does not feel fitted.
-
@mojomack_100 to be honest I’m glad I got the large over the medium but for my body type I’m more boxy over long slim shape but l liked the shorter length in the medium,but in the larger the chest under the pits just worked out so I sacrificed for that if that makes sense
-
-
@mojomack_100 I am similar dimensions and went with the XL over the L. The L fit, but anything more than a t shirt might have been too much. Very happy with my choice!
-
Adding my personal experience I have the 44 but it feels/looks like a 42 on me which is near perfect for how I want to wear this with layers. A wash will most happen soon on my end and will update post. Its funny by comparison the xxl SEXIH25 indigo I have should fit similar but im swimming in that.
-
@Mizmazzle so sick! Love those fades. And love this jacket. Wear mine as often as possible!
-
@Mizmazzle totally agree! It’s been perfect for my cool Maine summer nights. I really treat it like a sweatshirt.
-
@Sunnergren @tody per the advice here, I grabbed a size medium as well. I have more room for the upper body and can layer it, but it feels like I have much more fabric in the lower body. Basically, the taper isn't as strong. Also, I am concerned with the length. Am I just imagining these things? I can't tell.
I can try having it tailored to taper it more, but I don't know if hemming it would be as necessary.
-
@lossforwords two things stand out to me, sleeve length and shoulders are much better than compared to your size S in my opinion. You do have a rather slim profile and could possibly benefit from a more aggressive taper. The last picture with a hoodie underneath looks killer! That’s how I use mine most of the time.
-
@Sunnergren thank you! I am definitely getting it tapered by an inch or so, but how is the overall current length? Getting it hemmed to where the size S roughly sits would offset the distance of the bottom two buttons. Not super noticeable, but I'm just seeing if it's worth it or not.
-
@lossforwords well, it is personal preference. I would not hem it if i were you, seeing the difference between the 86 and your hoodie in your shot. If it’s something you know would bother you in the long run then go for it. Only you would be the one seeing that shorter distance to the button.
