IH-526J-SLBod - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Overdyed

@Chibs same observation as you. Mine is also on the tight side, e.g. it's a "over a tee" denim jacket as OD always tends to run slightly smaller for me, even when sized up. FYI I have some fit photos earlier in the thread.
I am perfectly fine with it as I don't layer much with type IIIs overall, and it is complementary to my 19oz lefty which runs large. it has a nice 60s look: fitted and slightly cropped.
Looking at yours it looks golden over a tee, and you can be sure it won't get smaller when washed.

@tvaillant75 Awesome, thank you!!! I figured my other type 3’s are better for layering with hoodies & sweaters but not as complimentary with just a t-shirt. This is also how I justified an other IH type 3
The nerd in me wanted to find out what those Japanese characters mean. As far as Google is concerned it’s “SLAB” which sounds an awful lot like “Slub” I’m guessing there’s more to it and look forward to possibly finding out

@Chibs Fit looks perfect.
Thank you!

@Chibs something to cover during the next YT episode I hope !
Have to say, I love the vibe and content of your videos, but it seems the collection may grow faster than the video output?

@tvaillant75 Much appreciated! Yea, you totally pegged me. The vid I'm working on now is 21 oz 666's. Should be done filming this week. I'll definitely do a type 3 vid. Maybe a face off or perhaps they'll each get their own. Really enjoying making these so happy you like watching.

According to @nurunuru
"I'm not Giles, but happy to chime in with a translation. It's just "slub" written in katakana script. ス=su ラ=ra ブ= bu.Edit: Katakana is the script usually used for writing foreign loan words. Unlike hiragana which is the script usually used for writing words of a native origin. And unlike kanji, which is the script usually used for driving students of Japanese insane over the course of countless hours."
@goosehd Thank you! So I guess google got it wrong. Makes more sense that it's "Slub"

@goosehd Fixed, thank you

In direct sunlight this thing just bleeds texture. So sick! -
Sooo I managed to squeeze a hoodie underneath on our walk today.
Dig the tighter silhouette and it’s turned out to be more practical than I originally planned for. Between my roomier 21oz 526PJ and this bad boy, I’m pretty smitten over here.

Some bits of evo after 2 years of periodic wear. It’s one of those garments that pops when the light is just right.

When I stopped at BlackBlue yesterday I was able to try on this slubby. I’ve been wearing a slightly over sized lefty the last four months and quickly realized the hype behind having a proper fitting jacket.
Ended up not grabbing this one but instead an OD CPO for the RR. It was dope being able to see it on though.

Hey guys, new to the forum and seeking some advice or input about the fit of my OD jacket. The measurement chart says the XL length is the same as the XL indigo but the back of mine is riding up a little and sticking out slightly. I have the indigo slub and the fit is perfect, the back doesnt do this. Any experience with this? Im worried its only going to get worse from here on out. Will it go away and drape better as it breaks in and forms to my body? Or is it just not fitting correctly? Side pictures of the 2 jackets. Thanks in advance for any input.
