IH-526-ODG - Whipcord Modified Type III - Olive Drab Green

[wdw]

Yeah, the chest is smaller than others.  I had the same problem last time and just couldn't get one to fit my chest without being too long.  I had hoped it might change with the restock.

@wdw @Wlemon Only the length has been updated on the chart

[Wlemon]

Sounds like we're in the same boat, @wdw. Fingers crossed they are different.

[Wlemon]

Welp. Spoke too soon. 

[dreigh]

About an inch longer in the sleeves than I am used to in a type iii, but I think it works!

[Wlemon]

Looks good. You can roll up the sleeves maybe? It has that cool corduroy there, right?

[dreigh]

@Wlemon Yep! The cuffs are corduroy, but I don’t mind the sleeve length really. I imagine as the elbows crease over time the sleeves will hang a bit shorter anyways.

This jacket feels like a perfect autumn or early spring weight. It really looks fantastic in person.

[Wlemon]

Yep, it should. I'd say about a half inch or so in my experience. It's a killer jacket. I have coveted it for quite a while, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Look badass! Love that jacket.

[Paul9221]

That looks perfect.  You look like a tall and slender guy and the slightly longer sleeves go well with that physique.  But if you want to cuff them, that'll look good too.

I don't anticipate that the sleeves will shorten much, or at all, with creasing since this is whipcord and not denim but maybe they will.  Anyone have experience with that?

@Paul9221 Thank you for feedback on the fit! Looking over this thread your fit pics contributed to my decision to finally make this purchase.

Concerning creasing affecting resting sleeve length: You’re likely correct, this material probably won’t crease up like denim.

Hi, this is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while 

I'm a really big fan of the IH-526-ODG olive whipcord type III jacket. I bought it a month ago and the wetter-than-expected British summer has given me ample opportunities to wear it already.

Here's a photo of me wearing it in the Peak District last week:

Lovely shot, a great outfit and a cool first post. Saw your IG account recently, for the first time. Welcome.

I'm in agreement with Reuben ^. 
@going_to_battle, being a Sheffield lad myself the Peak District scenery is very evocative for me

I'm from Oxfordshire but I went to Ilam Hall in the Peak District when I was 10 years old and I had always wanted to go back, so my wife and I did just that last week. It was great to explore the area and the weather was perfect for wearing Iron Heart gear (not just my jacket but also my IHTL-1301 jumper, for example. I definitely want to go back again as it's so beautiful.

This jacket is looking so good and goes extremely well with denim!

[don_pipone]

I finally did it. After participating the World Tour I couldn‘t get the jacket out of my head anymore.
The colour, the fabric, the fit. It‘s the perfect denim jacket for me.
