IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker

[margzz]

I'm torn between a size small in this and a medium in the regular 526J! I had the 526J in size small, but the length and sleeves were a little too short. I'm sure the small in this one would fix that issue, but I don't think I'll like the vertical fading of the lefty denim over time (and I really like the regular 21 oz). Am I overreacting? Do you guys think the denim appearance and qualities are pretty similar overall?

Only you can answer that

Mr Padmore, need I remind you that you are under oath.

Now, please answer the question, is the plaintiff overreacting?

[Giles]

Sorry m'lud.

Sweet write up!  I saw this earlier.

I love this jacket. This is pretty much what I've worn every day since I got it (with a parka over it since it's been so damn cold lately).

Haha you're right, Mad!

Hey Super settled on a 3x and wore mine to the pub this weekend….what a jacket!

[Finn666]

is this or the "standard" 526 softer…looking for a type III which I am able to wear, not which is wearing me! :-\

[Chris]

Gotta be the regular one.  This denim is way harder than the 21 oz stuff.

[Finn666]

almost thought so chris, thanks!
then i guess the 19oz SE is using for their modified typeIII od model is also harder than the 21oz denim, no?

[Giles]

What 19oz that SE is using?

But let's just put it this way, our 21oz is way softer than any other denim we make…

Thanks Sean.  But my answer above remains accurate:

"Our 21oz is way softer than any other denim we make…"

[superfuzz]

I'm going to wear this jacket until it gets soft. I don't care what it takes!

[Finn666]

thanks for getting back at me G.! R

I had that sexih07iii, the denim on that was seriously no joke.  Probably the gnarliest denim I've felt before (I don't have a lot of experience though), and even the 526j-od is noticeably more comfortable.  I'd bet the reg 526 would suit you well in the comfort department.
