@goosehd dude that's awesome you have a 507 now! Pretty awesome jacket and great for layering.

I ️ the slubby texture:

It is awesome and gets even better when the slubs lighten up.

@Oaktavia Agreed and the reason I love my 666-SLB’s.

One of those jackets that you need to try to understand how much you will love it.

@goosehd you shaved, vacation mode? Love the jacket & denim combo

@Tago-Mago trim the beard for snorkeling and a good mask fit. 30 minutes and I’m on the plane.

@Oaktavia , other folks how do you like the type II compared to the type III?

Oaktavia

@natefreezy I prefer type 2 compared to type 3. I like the pleats, the larger and lower
oriented pockets. I like the cut of the T2 better. I just overall prefer 2 to 3, though I do love them both. I prefer type 2, 1 and 3 in that order of aesthetic preference.

Thanks @Oaktavia. I don’t have anything slubby or type II so could be something new to try. My other denim jacket is actually the 22 oz OD type III. How would this layer with the IHSH-33? I'd probably do that and then have to wear either the denim shirt or jacket with tee as it warms up.

Do people generally take same size as in type III?

goosehd

@natefreezy It really boils down to the measurements. My two key areas are chest and shoulders for which I have a type II in a large (mustard yellow one) and an xl (stubby). My type III's are the same in that it depends on those two measurements with a few in each size.

I have that same 22oz OD jacket, oddly I am wearing it right now.

I assume you mean the slubby T2? The sleeves on my jacket allow for layering with any IHSH underneath it. I even wore my 19oz 409 under it last winter. It was an excellent layering piece. But just make sure you size to allow layering for yours. YMMV.

Not all jackets are sized the same, regardless of the cut and type. Always check the sizing charts for each individual run of each item and compare that to a well fitting jacket. Hope this helps...

I did not see this response before, but as per usual, Dennis has sound advice for sizing.

haha shoot

@Tago-Mago I wish I could take credit, but I listened to everyone before me and repeat their advice. There is a lot of great information on sizing, denims, wear, and care on here that has been passed down from former staff, mods, and members alike.

Starting out here is daunting, but when you have great examples to follow and role models to emulate, then everything else becomes much easier.
