Yeah, the black one would be a score for sure @tody.

Judging by the state of the patch, it’s a home OD. There was a black 526, here: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/1917/ih-x526j-black-cotton-duck-type-iii-jacket/208

They’re a bit washed-out in color. The black is less saturated and more grayish. The color loss is completely uniform—there are no fade lines. I will try to dig that pair out and photograph next to my newer 9555z.

Seems like you just need to look at the measurements and decide what YOU want. You’ve gotten advice from all sides, now crunch some numbers and pull the trigger.

Also: just because two cuts from two different brands are called ‘slim straight’ that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re similar. The measurements tell the story.

Never would have noticed if you hadn’t said anything. It all come down to whether it will bug you or not, I suppose

21oz superblack always stays pretty delightfully crunchy. I’ve had multiple pairs of jeans and a vest in it, and although it does soften up, nothing is as soft as flagship 21oz indigo denim.

My 9301 that I wore daily for years to bartend and serve eventually got softER after countless trips through the washing machine and tumble dry.

Looks great with a shirt underneath. Now to sweat it out and put the hurt on that sucka

It’s also probably loading images which causes the posts to jump when the pic inserts. It is annoying, but less so with the pagination enabled

I’ve been waffling back and forth on this one, but now that you’ve posted more pics AND revealed that you live in Florida, sizing down would be the right call, imo.

But if you like oversized comfy fits and want to be sure to be able to layer with other thick clothes, you could just go for it.

Seems like you should just go for it! If you want to be sure to be able to layer shirts underneath. Turn it inside out, soak it through, get a hot wash done no spin and let ‘er rip

It’s the should that made me think so. But there is definitely shrink to be had in this jacket, always a gamble

Looks too big to me. Even with a super hot wash, I’m not sure it’ll shrink up enough.

XXXL is the largest these were made, I think.

You’re a madman. It’s been hot over here

Hell yeah, @jfox1980 ! Someday I’ll have a pair that fits again. Pop some pics in here when you’re able.

Mural looks great, @Oaktavia . What a cheerful room.

Comfort is key. Does the neck feel too tight? FWIW, I think you’d probably be swimming on a size up

It’s the IHJ-30. I had one—it was pretty sweet.

That sounds good too, @scooter . Or maybe the new UHF work shirt cut would be good in fleece? Though I want pockets.

Heavy jersey sweatshirt untucked. Preferably ala the 64, but I know that same fabric won’t be back.

Maybe like the 158, but heavier?
