IH-526-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)
-
6’0 tall/175 lbs and I ordered an XXL.
With all my 21oz jackets, I size up to layer with heavyweight hoodies. I’m wearing a t-shirt, 14oz American Giant zip up and then the jacket. The roomy sleeves are perfect for a thick hoodie and I still have full swing on the arms and can button it up all the way.
This is a solid jacket, and I’m stoked I grabbed it when it came online for purchase.
Side note: it’s supposed to be 70 degrees this coming week, so it won’t get too much use.
Also pictured is the 17 oz Duck 634s.

@VegaS10 Great fit!
I wore my jacket today combined with my 888 XHS. Here, on the west coast of Norway, it's -5 celsius and with a heavyweight hoodie underneath, it was perfect conditions for a trip with the kids outside. Liked your picture, made me want to put on my jacket, go into the woods and start working with my chainsaw. My jacket will for sure get a lot of abuse in the coming months! Do you guys wash the jacket before you use it, or do you just use it immediately?

@Josso thanks brother!
I always just toss my jackets on and go. I don't see a point in washing a new jacket, and since they are already once-washed, there is no reason to do so.
I do, however, tend to wash my denim more often than most due to my work/lifestyle, which leads to pretty basic fading.

@VegaS10 Thanks for the quick response and good information! Good point!
-
Super happy with how this one turned out.
Plenty of room for a hoodie under. I have a tendency to roll up my sleeves even with CPOs and jackets, and the wider sleeves allow for this. It's a really versatile piece that filled that need for a pure black heavyweight jacket in my wardrobe.

@tody Man, you two are dream catchers
I’ve been admiring the TIII SBG for ages and would love to double up daily to see what happens. Currently doing that with pale rider and switch between IHSH-33 and IHSH-366, with another jacket over that. Have also wondered if I should wear an unlined jeans jacket over the pale rider… will it get any indigo on it? That could be fun… @Oaktavia -
Short jacket trifecta complete.

Got xxl in and I’m on the fence. Sleeves are throwing me off a bit
-
@mudhogen they will fold and crease nicely. If you want it to crease faster (and plan on keeping it), spray it with a mister bottle of water if you have one or wet the inner elbows in the sink. Wetting helps set creases quickly and will shorten and shape the sleeves.
-
Think I’m going to exchange for the super black next week. Despite shorter arms I think the fit will be better suited for my body type
-
@mudhogen Thanks for the pics; definitely looks shorter than the other IH offerings. Mine still hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m hoping the shorter length doesn’t throw me off. I tend to wear a lot of flannels and find that the length of them with shorter jackets sometimes looks a bit odd. I knew this model was short going in, but your pics look like it’s really short, almost cropped. We’ll see how it goes once it gets here.
-
@Nostradamion for reference I’m 6’5” 210 and this is xxl. I also have a long torso relative to my body. I knew deep down it won’t work based on measurements but wanted it to so bad
-
@JunkPants that Triangle is an indigo paradise
-
@denim-dawg Sure is!

I was on the fence consider the shorter fit, but since i need a XXXL for the shoulders/chest measurements it works. I am 6.1 ( 187cm).
Getting used to the wider arms its more comfy i think.
, congratulations!
