This things looks fantastic. The perfect, classic Indigo denim type III trucker. I still don't own an Indigo denim trucker but this one will be it ….then again there's that 21oz one.

The measurements on the 21oz work better for me. The sleeves on the 14oz are a tad longer than I like

And I'm the opposite, the measurements look better on the 14oz for me. The length on the 21oz is almost an inch shorter in my size, almost not even a modified length. I dig the modified length.
For some reason the sleeves look wider on the 21oz as well but could just be an illusion.

Actually, I think you’re right. The measurements do appear smaller on the 21oz. The sleeves are super long on the 142 though.
Regarding the sleeve width, I have that issue on my SExIH od. I layer with that jacket so it’s not a problem, but if you’re wearing it with just a tee underneath it’s noticeable

Yep, same with me regarding the SExIH OD trucker. That's strictly a layering jacket for me. Works perfect over an ultra heavy flannel.

I'm actually surprised this jacket thread hasn't seen as much attention as the others!
I'm now the proud owner of a 142 and it's probably the best IH jacket in my opinion, and that's saying something considering my name is probably on the IH crews dartboard
Let me explain….I've sent back 90% of the jackets I've purchased from IH mainly down to the premise that I'm extremely fussy and not a direct reflection upon the products themselves. This stems from a 12 year career in the aerospace industry where you develop an annoying case of OCD which in turn causes you to notice little details that most folk wouldn't, here's examples of the jackets I've sent back:
IH-526-SBG: Lovely denim and fitted me perfectly but I found the body length just a little too short. I ended up keeping this for a year and the denim never quite relaxed properly so ultimately ended up selling it.
IH-526L-OD: Body proportions were all perfect but the body length was a touch too long and the unevenness of the overdying left random streaks where it has obviously creased during the process and it didn't suit me.
IH-526PJ: Denim was perfect and proportions were great but the arms seemed overly boxy, I'm a skinny fool so 'regular' sleeve widths look odd on me.
IH-956PJ: Admittedly this jacket was perfect but like it's indigo brother the arms were too loose, in line with the traditional 'trucker' fit but I like my clothes to have a slimmer fit.
So after this I was pretty bent on avoiding IH products as they just didn't seem to suit me. That was until I saw that their UK stockist Rivet & Hide had a decent sale on and one of the items featured was the IH-526J-142! I looked at the measurements, the fit pictures and the shoulders seemed a little small but I figured there was nothing to lose so added it to my order.
The jacket turned up and admittedly I was expecting to find something that would annoy me, I opened the box and the first thing I noticed was how solid it was for a 14oz denim (I know it's made the same way as the 21oz). I checked it over and also noticed there was a slight slubbiness to the material that I wasn't used to but I've grown to like in other products purchased. Now the fit......perfect!! The body length is spot on, the shoulders sit right where they're supposed to and best of all the sleeves are quite narrow, just the way I like
If you're looking for a slim fitting IH product but don't want the heft of the 526L which I hear also fits on the slim side then check out the 142 jacket, very versatile material for mixed weather and it looks like it can still take a beating like it's bigger sibling. Can't wait to see how this one will age!

I almost pulled the trigger on this jacket during R&H’s sale but decided to show some restraint. My son’s bday is coming up which means presents for him rather than myself [emoji16]

Should have bought him one, he’ll grow in to it.

@Giles any XL's in the restock pipeline?

In times like these, Rivet and Hide are your friend. Unless you want to wait until February of course.
I just picked one of these up from RH and IMO this is the quintessential denim type III. It's exactly what I wanted and expected it to be. The shade, weight, and feel of the fabric is perfect. Could not be any happier with this jacket.

@manufc10 Dude, let's see some fit/in-the-wild pics of this bad boy, yeah?
(Unfortunately, R&H are also sold out. And, I will probably need a 'batch' of XL's to choose from, as I am in-between sizes. But thanks for chiming in!)

Not that it needs to be said but my fit pic game is pretty weak. Selfies have never been my thang. Either way I can throw some up when I get a chance.
