IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

Yep. This is the best thread for any and all discussion, sizing included.
Cool. Gotta go home and do some measuring. The first time I inquired about the jacket I think Giles suggested a xxxl. I have a feeling it'll be too big on me now, lost some weight since then. I have a superblack riders jacket in xxl/44 and it's a touch big on me at this point. I also have a uhf in xl and that may be a touch big on me, but not too bad.
When I get home I'll take some measurements and pics, see what we can figure out.

@Tdre977 - these looks very similarly sized as the IHJ-46, which I have. I went Up one size from my "normal" IH size. Im probably a "Large and a Half" in most gear (Large in the 109, XL in 127) and I went with the XXL in the J-46. I, personally, would do the same with this one.
Hope that helps.
Rule of thumb on a tight jacket like this (Type IIIs are meant to be snug) is to measure your best fitting shirt, and add about .5 to the P2P for layering options. If you plan to wear a hoodie or multiple layers underneath, perhaps add .75 to 1" to the P2P. This has always worked for me on jean/trucker type jackets. Heavier IH Jackets and Coats/jackets I usually add .75-1.25 depending on thickness and what I plan to wear under them.
Good luck, this is an amazing jacket.

Ok, so I've done some measurements and picture taking. My IH-9527J riders jacket is a 44/XXL, I'd say the fit is ok on it, perhaps a touch big in the chest/shoulders, but only a little bit, one of the adjustment buttons on the waist is on he tighter button for a more fitted look. I would think an Xl would fit.
Next up is my IHSH-102tg in XL. This shirt is definitely big on me.
Have a shot of a Type I I wear a bunch, measured at 23" p2p and 18.5" shoulders.
I tried on what I think is my best fitting shirt, came in at 21" p2p
Not really looking to layer with this jacket. Just want a nice fitted jacket over a t-shirt or a button down.
What size are we thinking here? Sizing is the most nerve wracking shit for me ever.
After thought…I'm 5'9" about and 150-155 lbs. My IH jeans are a 33 waist.
Thanks guys!

Will this stuff still have the .5" of shrink that the V1 did?
-
Wow. Already sold out in a couple sizes.
-
So the large in the v2 has pretty much the same measurements as my leather jacket but that jacket has lining in it so if I wanna layer the lefty with a hoodie most of the time, would it be wise to size up one and hot soak? or would the large be okay?
-
Yeah thats what I was thinking. Worst case is if I can tell its too big to even hot soak I can return for the large
-
Looks like it may be touch big even with a thicker shirt underneath it.

Got mine today. I was a little worried when I read the new denim was softer because I really liked the first type. All worries put to rest today. This stuff seems just as tough and rigid to me. Anyone on the fence about it should go for it. It rules.

fit pics @deanclean ??

I'll try to get a few posted in the next couple days

Agreed, this fabric is great. I don't own the first run of this denim nor do I own this jacket but I do have a pair of jeans with this 19oz V2 fabric and it's lovely.

Just ordered mine now. I'm really excited as its my first denim jacket and my first IH product. Can't wait to get to fading the beast
