IH-526J-22OD - 22oz Selvedge Denim Type III Jacket - Indigo Overdyed Black

[juiceless]

Hey friends,

I'm eyeing this jacket.  HARD.  I am struggling with sizing, though.  I don't have another jacket to measure to try and figure out what size to get.  Just recently bought a shirt with these measurements:

Shoulders - 17.5"
Length - 29"
Chest (P2P) - 21.6"
Waist - 20.2"
Opening - 20.5"
Sleeve - 25.1"
Sleeve Opening - 4.1"

Given that this shirt fits perfectly, is there any size guidance anyone could give?  I'll be wearing it with a tshirt and some flannel in the fall.  Thanks for any guidance - wish there was somewhere I could try this guy on in Toronto but alas!

Hey @juiceless I will PM you to discuss sizing

@juiceless:

Shoulders - 17.5"
Length - 29"
Chest (P2P) - 21.6"
Waist - 20.2"
Opening - 20.5"
Sleeve - 25.1"
Sleeve Opening - 4.1"

How tall are you and what is your weight? Based on the above dims I’d say you were an M or an L. Have a look at this too:

Those shirt measurements look like an IH medium, which is what I usually wear. I don’t have this type III, but I own other IH type IIIs in medium, and large. Both work fine over flannels, but the large is a little loose when worn with a T.

Thanks [mention]sabergirl [/mention] and [mention]neph93 [/mention]!

The shirt I’m referencing is an iron heart medium, good eye! I’m working with Adam to figure out what would work best for me but good to know what works for others.  I’m 5’10” and about 180 but I have narrow shoulders.  Never had a properly fitting denim jacket before so I’m a bit gun shy about the sizing.

Based on the above I’d suggest medium, large if you want more length and room for layering.

That jacket is really looking great.

Glasses in the front right pocket?

Or a sophisticated monocle

Thinking of getting an L. If the opening, at 18.3, is smaller than the opening on a M Storm Rider, which is 19.7 (and that is snug when the bottom button is done up), is this mitigated by this in L being 1.4 inches shorter than the SR…….? Sorry to sound a pedant. Cheers.

@Richard:

Sorry to sound a pedant.

Not at all, that is a very pertinent question and absolutely one of the things this place is for.

That being said I’m finding it difficult to answer as I don’t have a storm rider. Best guess is that yes it will make a positive difference, but that will also depend on body shape to a degree.

The IH-526-22OD is a traditonal cut so is intended to be worn higher on the body and arguably closer to the body than the lined, modified storm rider.

Thanks @neph93. It’s either this or a Duck Type III…….

Both fine choices. The IH-2562 is on my list also. I owned one a size too big a while ago and miss having it in the arsenal.
