IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
Just got this jacket and couldn’t decide whether I needed XL or XXL so I got both! Figured I’d just sell the one that didn’t fit. Well (un)fortunately they both fit and I don’t know what to do. If I want to layer with a UHF, the XXL is perfect. Just a tshirt and the XL is a better fit. Would I be an idiot to keep both?? The pics are of the XL and for reference, I’m 5’11 175 lbs.

@pjroo33 This is my favorite IH Type III of all time...I am surprised you would need to go up to XXL to layer a UHF underneath. I am 5'10" around 172lbs and I have the Size L and can comfortably layer a thermal or light sweater under it. I have no doubt the XL would afford plenty of room for a UHF.
In any event, the jacket looks great on you...I wouldn't size up any further IMO!

@pjroo33 oh man!! That is quite the conundrum. I had the indigo version in a super trim over a tee only fit and found it didn’t fill the spot I wanted it to. I ended up sizing up. I found the larger size still looks great with a tee but I can also wear it over a UHF flannel.
Keeping both is the baller move…but perhaps not totally necessary if you are able to find one size that can best meet your needs.

@Mizmazzle That’s good to know. The size stays the same regardless. Might just keep both until the wife sees two of the same jacket hanging in the closet!!

I’m a little surprised as well. I will take some measurements and see what the difference really is. The XL is definitely as “fitted” as I would be comfortable with.

@pjroo33 I’m just about the same measurements as you; I’m 5’10 and 180 pounds. Is there any chance you could post pics wearing the XXL? I’ve only seen it available in XXL and I’d like to know beforehand that I’m not going to be swimming in it. Any pics you can post would be greatly appreciated.

Been wanting to post these for a while. Couple of “firsts” for me with this jacket. First type 3 EVER. First OD from Iron Heart. Maybe the coolest thing I own… inspired by all you guys in this thread. Special thanks to the guys at IHUK too, especially @Graham @AdamJ @SamD for their help and awesome fits with this beast. Went with a large, my UHF size and I think it’s spot on. Really just love it
-
@SKT that looks great on you!! If you don’t mind, could I get your chest size and how tall you are?
-
@Mizmazzle thanks man…now I get what all the fuss is about with this denim! Amazing stuff!
@Nostradamion I’m 5’9”, with a 41” chest. I usually look for just over 22” p2p for shirts. I can wear this over a UHF with a trim fit. I could NOT wear this size over an IH hoodie or similar. Would need an XL. Hope that helps and good luck!
-
@SKT looks really perfect congrats
-
@SKT thanks for the info; that really helps. Closest I’ve been able to find is an XXL and while it’s not that much bigger than an XL on paper, my fear is that it would be too big. Guess I’m going to need to wait for restock at Iron Heart.
