IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

Too Short?
In order to make up for the smaller than usual waist sizing I've noticed in the OD jackets, I sized up however, the length was a little more than I had expected…
I've started with some images of other denim jackets I've own as comparison.

It doesn’t look bad, but I think I prefer the slightly shorter cut on the first few jackets.
-
I think the only problem here is that @BrianA looks too good in that jacket!
Yeah man, like neph said, I have shorter and longer type IIIs. Some look great over a T, some look better over another shacket. They all look good. And, the sleeve on your Lod looks perfect. I think going with a smaller size would mean a sleeve that's too short.
Wear with confidence!

Would anyone like to compare this jacket with the 22oz OD without pockets? Anyone (crazy enough to) have both? (I could be that crazy, just not yet.) I'm inclined to wait for the shorter in length/no pockets 22oz version. Is that one being restocked in sight of this one? That would make it more fun and torturous to decide.

I have the 22 OD and the 19L non-OD version, so I suppose I'm close. The 22 is noticeably made of a thicker, heavier fabric, but is softer and more pliable than the 19L. The latter is incredibly stiff and tightly woven. For me the most important important difference though is the fact that the 19L is a modified version with handwarmers. As a result of that, I put the jackets to different kind of uses. The 22OD is comfortable enough to wear inside the house and pairs well with almost anything except longer shirts. I wear the 19L mostly as a jacket for outside, and it does well up to fairly low temps. It keeps the wind out nicely too.
Thus far my write-up. @neph93 no doubt has more to say. I know he has the 22OD and wore the tour jacket 19L OD.

Thank you @Giles for the update and for the incredibly helpful comments here–-thanks @Lowlander. I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait for the shorter 22oz because I too am inclined to wear it more like a shirt over a tee. Tom Petty put it right, "The waiting is the hardest part…"

I own the IH-526-22OD and have first had experience of the IH-526L-OD having had two rounds with the world tour jacket.
The first differences that occur to me are:
1. The denim. The 19oz LHT is stiffer when new and has a coarser hand than the even, smooth and somewhat supple 22oz
2. The overdye and fading. The 22oz has a deeper matte black colour at first, it appears more even. The 19oz is a “colder” black. The 19oz fades quickly to white at exposed points, while the 22oz, while also fading quite quickly goes through blue first. I am not far enough along with my 22oz to say anymore.
3. The fit. The difference in length is noticeable. If you are wide across the shoulders and chest the jacket you need can come up quite long. It is great for slender folks and for those who enjoy layering type III’s over shirts. The 22oz is much more traditional in it’s cut, shorter (without being too short), and a nice width too.
Anything else you would you like to know?

Thanks so much @neph93. I think you've covered all my questions. Not being particularly tall, I've discovered that the modified 526s can be sized down if I can fit the p2p. But I've discovered that I wear the jackets more like a shirt or CPO. I'm more confident than ever that waiting for the 22oz is my ticket. Having another few weeks to find the cash is a good thing too. This Forum is so helpful, thanks to all.

Sorry if this has already been covered off, but is the fabric the same as in the IHSH-178? Just wondering if I can justify getting this as well when the 178 is a stubborn SOB.
