[Barry_Stingray]

@Graham Perfect fit! Looks made especially for you. Inspiring me to get mine out after a little time in hibernation..!

[Graham]

Thanks @Barry_Stingray I'm loving it, especially now it has the GA moved over onto it:

[Daniel San]

soaked and initial wash done ️
30 degrees max 400 rpm spin .
no marbling, no white lines and folding creases at sleeves complete gone without ironing
love those buttons after the od torture, they look super vintage now !

@Daniel-San I didn't do any initial dipping or washing with the OD, only wore it twice… maybe later. Forgive the bad photos

[PJS]

Is there a reason to soak the 526 OD when you get it like there’s is with the Indigo version?

[Jcaz6996]

No need to soak the OD process removes all the shrinkage.

[Daniel San]

@PJS
Not necessarily .
I do it with all my new jeans and jackets to get the folding creases out. Specially on od stuff pretty important if you ask me. Otherwise you might get lines .
Than I think it jump starts the fading, but that’s just my experience.

[PJS]

Do most of you guys end up with taking your UHF size in the 526 OD?

[PJS]

Sorry if I drove you guys crazy, but you all know how it is..... it's ordered and I'm excited!

[Luijim78]

@PJS I ordered a size S of both the OD and the indigo. Usually for other IH jackets I have taken an XS ( my usual size). Since I have little experience with IH products, I believe it is essential to choose by checking the measurements in the tables because they vary a lot from item to item, from color to colour. I don't like jackets that are too short so I chose one size up and I think I was right.

[alexpupin]

Mine will arrive today!
I chose a size L, like the UHFs, as I like jackets tight and close-fitting.
For comparison, I have an XL Levi’s trucker and I feel it’s too wide at the chest and shoulder-sloppy.

In California for a wee bit, so able to wear mine a little at night — caught it looking foxy on the back of a chair this morning in the sun. Complete w Shrig pin

Not sure about the new batch of the OD jacket but onnthe older batch i took the same sixe as UHF

[alexpupin]

Wearing my new 526LOD a few minutes at 33°C+ just to capture a shot.
Picked an L, just the perfect right size

Here's the 526LOD compared to a Reloved 526J I recently purchased.
The 21oz has no side pockets: I like the style better, but the inner sides of the of the hand warmers are so handy (no pun intended).

Can't say which one I love best; I'll love 'em both link I'm bigamist!

[AdamJ]

@alexpupin No better Type III combo out there!

[JunkPants]

@alexpupin Thank you for the comparison, they both look great!
As @AdamJ says, a great pair.

I actually have a 526Lod on the way. (And just got the 526L, which is great after a hot wash). I couldn't deny the bulletproof logic of @Daniel-San: "Don’t think too much, buy "

Love the OD stuff, and dig the shorter, classic denim jackets, and I don't think I could have resisted a 526Jod right now, even though the number of jackets is getting a bit silly. I think I may be able to resist getting the 526J, we shall see.

[Luijim78]

@JunkPants if it's any consolation in the last year I have taken a 526PJ 21oz, a 526J-SLBOD, a 526L, a 526L OD and an Extractor should arrive tomorrow. ... always if my partner doesn't decide to choke me in my sleep

[JunkPants]

@Luijim78 Haha, thank you, that does help a bit
Great set of jackets there!

[Luijim78]

@JunkPants thanks mate
