      Nice! But size should be trplexl, no. My 42 was declared as a xl.
      But damn. It's too effin cold outside. Can wear mine with a fleece jacket, but there isn't much space between these two layers…

      why so serious?

        7tacos, love that Evo. I can't wait to see that jacket this time next year. Beat it up, son!

        Fat dudes need good clothes too.

          daynym, yes..XXXL this one is.  I'm so used to thinking of it as a XXL as the OD process shrinks it so much. 
          JSJ, this jacket will get year 'round use.  It's plenty big on me to wear with a flannel or just over a tee. 
          It's my favorite type III-not too big, not too small.

            Collar…

            The patch…

            some combs…

            a bit of elbow fade…

            front pocket…

            od W…

            love what the od does to the buttons…

            waist detail…

              I'm thinking about getting the last large 526od. Just wanted to know how it fades over time.. Does the indigo come through or does it fade to grey? Thanks.

                            Ouhlalah. Nice blue shinin thru 🙂 Weather in Germany nearly reached a status where this baby is wearable for me again 🙂

                            why so serious?

                              Looking forward how shiny those will look in a year or two… If you click the pics to zoom in you will see a hue of blue and shine.

                              why so serious?

                                if anyone has an XL they want to get rid of I would be interested in picking up this jacket.

                                  Tat, one thing to note is the first generation of the OD type IIIs have shorter arms, so if you get an XL used, double check with the seller to see when it's made and get a measurement.  Both my OD type IIIs are first gen and the XL has a 25 inch arm, the XXL has about 27'.

                                  The later OD type IIIs one's all have longer arms in the larger sizes.

                                      I had  to crawl around under a house for a couple of weeks to do some rewiring and shoveling out a rusty iron pipe and it put a lot of wear on mine.

                                          Yeah, just before the above pic.  Did a machine wash for 20 minutes on a mild cycle and hung dry after a good rinse.  I stood and watched it wash to make sure my new washer didn't spin it as I'm not yet familiar with the cycle.  This was it's second wash.  The first wash was a hand wash.
