IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo

[FlavourFade]

@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.

Any news on restock?

[MassiveThighs]

Nvm, saw a June restock.

Guess my best chance at copping one is at self edge, but dislike their whole return process

[MassiveThighs]

Fit check?

Plan on wearing it with a heavyweight hoodie only.

Might still be a tad too big. Should i return it and wait for the XXL to restock, or would a soak shrink it up a bit?

[tody]

You should size down. Sleeves way too long, and the photo shows excess material in the back. That jacket cannot be shrunk down as much as you‘d need it to.

[MassiveThighs]

@tody thanks!

[MassiveThighs]

Downsized to XXL.
Fit check:

[tody]

Way better. Still feeling comfortable?

[MassiveThighs]

@tody very little restriction even with the heavyweight hoodie. Comfortable.

Thought about pushing it down to XL but then I probably wouldn’t be able to layer. I keep this!

Sleeves might be a tad too big but hopefully it’ll shrink with creasing and washes.

Looks like you have room in the back to go down one more size for a more fitted look but loose some layering options. Your call obviously but i like the type iii fitted.

[goosehd]

Still a lot of excess material all around and you could size down. You are not going to get shrinkage overall as it is sanforized and one washed. You will lose a little length in the sleeves as the creases set.

@goosehd

I think I can go 1 more down, I will report next week with a fit check, ty my dude

@MassiveThighs

Looks great to me. If it were me I would keep this size. I value comfort and a jacket I can button up though. Just depends on what you’re after.

[goosehd]

@MassiveThighs Another thing to consider is how you are going to wear the CPO and 526. In my opinion, the 526 looks best fitted over a tee and a great pair of jeans. Simple, classic, and always looks good. The CPO does look really good layered and I like the hoodie underneath. It also works well with just about everything.

Mix them up as I said in the other thre (293). Gives you options for whatever you want to do.

I second this, in my opinion a looser comfortable fitting jacket > form fitting jacket. My 19oz Lefty fits like the one you have pictured @MassiveThighs and I highly value being able to button it up over an IH hoodie, UHF, Western, etc. A jacket sized just for a tshirt is for just that.

Again, certainly relies on what you are after.

[MassiveThighs]

@goosehd ya I just realized that cpo looks better without a hoodie underneath. Do u think I should go with xxl or xl after looking at my pics in the 293 thread?

[MassiveThighs]

@Oaktavia ok cool! I think I could go 1 more down, but wouldn’t be able to layer, which I want to do..

[Oaktavia]

@MassiveThighs I see jackets as outer layers while CPOs I wear the same as Westerns. These pieces are versatile; able to be worn with some variety depending on one's preference.

[goosehd]

@MassiveThighs Personally, I can’t stand shirts/hoodies/layers hanging out below the bottom of a 526 and the reason I just like them fitted with t shirts.

The CPO is perfect for layering as it will cover anything that hangs out.

Just my $.02
