IH-526Jod - Overdyed Type III
-
My buddy Zhivago stopped by with this new badboy tonight. Damn! This is THE jacket to have. There is no way I can afford one right now, but if I could it would easily be my most worn item ever.
And to think, he's had his for like 2 days and is already working it (literaly)…Is this image of the 526Jod? It looks really long.

@setandsetting What size do you normally wear in IH shirts and jackets?

This is my first IH jacket. I wear XL in the IHSH-78 and IHSH-13ind. And XXL in the IHSH-101TG. I'm about 6'-6'1", 195 lbs. if that helps.
This jacket is awesome BTW. 4 wears and already some blue peeking out on the arm combs.

Wow!

dayum @daynym ! Beautiful!
Makes me wish I kept mine…but I love the duck more than the OD version.

Possibly silly question about this jacket: If I give this a wash/soak will the seams start to pucker/get bumpy? (sorry not sure how better to describe this). I love that textured look on the seams on jean jackets. But maybe the denim is too heavy to do that?
-
Cool, thanks. Then no need to wash at this point.

I'm very tempted by the imminent restock of this, despite having the 526J and 526-sbg, but I have a query about sizing.
I have an XL/42 in the other two which I'm happy with, but the chart for the OD indicates those dims are smack between the XL and XXL, with the XXL being a bit longer in sleeves and back length than I'd prefer.
If I go with the XXL and nuke it with a very hot soak to try to get some shrinkage, what damage would that do to the overdye? I wouldn't want to wash any away.
What steers me away from the XL in the OD is the 22" chest, which is less than I'd like, hence the XXL looking the better compromise. The ideal situation would be an undersized XXL, I suppose.

For what it's worth, my experience of the 33OD is zero shrinkage and a very slow fader. I machine wash it pretty regularly.
