It’s cold enough to wear the N1 today.

Also wearing the black wabash CPO and Duck 666s.

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.

I have to stop coming to the forum, my wallet is hating this.

I’m right outside of Asheville, NC USA

I scooped up an XXL.

Pretty excited for this one.

I've come to the realization that signing up for promotional emails and following IH on Insta was some of the worse decisions I've made this year. I honestly thought that after last year I was done with UHF purchases, but seeing this piece, I'm drawn back in.

I ordered 3 pairs of 634s.

I may not be the smartest man when it comes to online shopping, but I have nice tastes in denim.

Whomever purchased the violet/red UHF in XXXL, I'm upset with you.

This is one of my most worn pieces, as I sized up a bit to layer over a thin hoodie. Sorry for not including pics, but this is a fantastic jacket.

@isXnext , I noticed this is the same size as the 2526J as well. I just wore mine for the last two weeks, so I'm thinking this will be just fine.

I sold my 19 oz Lefty last year due to being so uncomfortable. I got the sizing correct, but it was just miserable to wear. Mind you, I own about 5 or 6 IH type 3s with different weights/fabrics, but I just couldn't get past the rigidness of that material. Knowing that the OD process softens the material quite a bit, how much "softer" and pliable is this piece compared to the standard Lefty? For reference, my favorite type 3 is the 21oz Indigo, which is a fantastic piece.

To add: I'm wearing my 21oz 777-ODs currently and they have been great this week, so I am familiar with the OD softness, just unsure if that softness translates over to the Lefty.

I have two pairs of double layered front pants (one was a DR collab) and would love a pair in duck or 21 oz ind.

One thing that attracts me to IH UHF is the bright vibrant colors and unique patterns. While I do like the red stitching, the rest of it seems so......dark (duh). I'm going to ponder this one for a bit and see if there is space in my wardrobe for a darker shirt.

I'm sure it's been mentioned here previously, but for those who are on the fence about this piece, be forewarned, it is INCREDIBLY stiff and rigid upon delivery. It was incredibly uncomfortable to wear with just a t-shirt, as the material was rough on the inside of my forearms/inside of my elbows. I tossed on a flannel or a hoody and was much more comfortable. As time wore on and a couple of washes later, the jacket became more soft and easier to wear. I still layer for comfort, as it's a bit rigid, even after a ton of wear. For reference, I own multiple IH jackets, and this was the most difficult to "conquer" per se. It may be in your best interest to keep a layer in mind when ordering/sizing.

@FlavourFade, shoulders and P2P are my main focus. I need full mobility in my arms, as my job is very physical, and I wear most of my IH when doing manual labor on the homestead. I'm not one to go for the more "form fitting/professional" style that I see on here, so the arm/chest area where I pay most attention too.

Mine arrived earlier this week, and I had the copper buttons added as well. During Fall/Winter, all I wear to work is IH jeans and a UHF/other overshirt. This month I'm breaking in a new pair of SBG 634s paired with a 235-GRY from last season. When I get home at night, I change into sweats and have been wearing this new shirt over a t-shirt. One thing that has not been mentioned is the noise this thing makes when it rubs against itself. The first night we were watching TV, my wife asked "Why is that shirt so damn noisy?"....that turned into a solid ten minute conversation. Anyways, I'm going to get this broken in a bit better, as I'll be switching over into some blue denim for March and will replace the 235-GRY with this at the same time.

Do I need these? No.

Will I buy them? You fucking bet I will.

@Oaktavia, so you know, your pics/content pushed me to that terribly uncomfortable purchase.

I'll try that this evening and report back tommorow.

All of mine get hemmed, it's a cleaner look.
