Hello! I'm new to this forum and to IH jeans I recently bought a pair of PBJ jeans and I like it a lot so far, but now I ordered the IH-526PJ (I tried before when I bought the PBJs in 38 M) and I would like your opinion on the fit. This is a 38(M), it fits snug and tried it with a flannel shirt as well. I just uncertain if M is how it is supposed to fit, or if I should go for a 40(L). I look forward to hearing your feedback! Thank you

@DPR looks perfect to me, it'll soon mould to your body shape and start to drape better!

Welcome to the forum

It looks perfect over a tshirt. It depends how it feels to you and how you want to layer it or not.

[goosehd]

Agree with the above. Perfect fit and I would not size up.

@DPR Looks good, 21oz denim stretches a bit and gets super soft when you wear it. Getting large would end up with too long sleeves and too big in the shoulders. You nailed the fit!

@DPR Don't have this exact jacket - I have the 16oz slubby version - but the fit looks good to me.

[DPR]

@T4920 Thank you! Yes, since it's new I just couldn't' tell if it's a tight fit or if it's just that has not broken in yet.

[DPR]

Thank you guys! I was uncertain because I saw other pics when the shoulders looked a little bigger on people and looked good. But if I get size 40 (L) it may probably be too big on other sides. I'm just planning to wear this jacket with a t-shirt and light hoodie at the most. Now time to wear it at home the whole summer to break it in nicely! lol

@dinobarnesberlin Excellent look! What shirt are you wearing under the jacket in this pic?

[dinobarnesberlin]

@Buckeye sorry. I tried to find my post to see what shirt I was wearing, but couldn't find it.

[Buckeye]

@dinobarnesberlin thank you so much!!!

How many of you all sized up for your 21 oz modified Type III? I’m a size large in UHFs and most other IH jackets. 6’2” 180lb

I can’t decide between Large or XL in the IH-526PJ and live no where close to be able to try on for size

@Crease incredible!! What an amazing display of denim passion!

@Fishizzle Get i touch with the crew via E-Mail, they will help you determine the right size. I size up in the Type 3s, XXXL instead of the XXL I wear in shirts.

[Crease]

Thanks @Mizmazzle ! It was really a great time!

This jacket always makes me both want another type 3 and not. Want because it's so damn cool and not because I'd probably have FOMO wearing a different one.

@Fishizzle I agree that getting in touch with the Crew would be really helpful. They are always great to deal with.
I can't recall the exact measurements of the batch I ordered from, but I am pretty sure the measurements can change a little from batch to batch. So its hard to say if sizing up 3 years ago is the same as sizing up today.
Personally I go off my chest measurement as my main deciding factor.

@Fishizzle I do it like @tody when I want to layer or go with the same size when I want to wear a TIII with only a tee... But definetely get in touch my two TIII are XXXL with very similar measurements from the IH size chart but fit totally different

[Fishizzle]

@tody @Crease @FlavourFade Appreciate the suggestions. I went with an XL and the fit is just what I was looking for. Large would have definitely been too snug.
