IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

[Vickt]

Looking for some sizing advice…

I have the IH-526Lod in Large and the fit is just about perfect. Shoulders about 18.5" straight across the front (forgot IH method was different), Chest ~21.6", Waist ~19.3", Opening ~19.2", Sleeve ~25.5"

The sleeves could be a touch longer but that's about it. If I got a Large in this jacket could I shrink it to around the Lod measurements, or would a Medium be better? Afraid the M would be too snug even if it never touched water though. Thanks!

The two jackets are same dimensions when we make them.  The ones that get overdyed shrink a lot in the OD process.  You could get the same shrinkage on the indigo one of you to give it severe grief in the wash.  If you are more gentle with the wash you'll get less shrinkage…..,

[Vickt]

Awesome, thank you. Wasn't sure if the OD ones were identical before the process. Looks like a Large and a trip through the wash!

Picked one up from Self Edge. Had a small issue but they went so far above and beyond to take care of me that I feel bad for even mentioning anything. Just had to give a shout out that they are awesome.

After being sorted I gave it a warm wash and it came out stiff as hell and about a half size larger than my OD version, which is perfect. This is pretty much the only Type III I will ever need.

Looks brilliant, I'm happy for you. Very cute kiddo too

Lovely indeed!

@Vickt I agree, I also think this is the only type III I'll need until it falls apart. I've had mine about a year and it's had 2 washes. Fades are starting, denim softened a little, and indigo still quite dark with contrast lighter blue fades. Beautiful jacket. Super cute little one too!

Your fit is spot on.  I'm surprised the length on the sleeve isn't overly long on you because i's pretty long on mine.  I've been trying my best to tame this jacket, but it's one tough SOB

Update - About 1 year mark.  Initial hot wash and worn as much as I can

Does anyone on here have a XXXXL? I'm thinking that would be good because the XXXL would be a little too tight after .5 in of shrink. Unless I'm blind I haven't seen measurements for that size posted.

[Jett129]

You’re not blind,but there are XXXXL measurements for the Overdyed version of this jacket,which may or may not help you.

[Palmer]

@Jett129 That is helpful. Thanks! I don't know if I would be able to get that much shrinkage out of this because I don't wash my denim unless it stinks to high heaven.

[Jett129]

So just wash it and dry it when you first get it and then you’ll be good to go.

There is very little shrinkage (if any) to be had in this denim. Whatever there is will be removed in the OD version because of the overdying process.
