IH-526J-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture I've been wearing my 21oz ODs again a lot lately. Switching to those from XHS is like putting on yoga leggings...I'd imagine. I def don't wear my wife's when shes away...

@Mizmazzle not sure they’d go with the silk nightie anyway

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia lmao I’ve been doing the same thing every damn day

[Jcaz6996]

Can’t wait to be rocking this SBG and a fresh pair of XHSbb …. Full stealth

[Oaktavia]

@Jcaz6996 dude hell yeah, me too! But with my faded pair. Ooh yeah!

[Jcaz6996]

Nice one bud … going to look sick love SBG

Once we know, this is where we will post the news

[jcarney1995]

Would if be fair to assume this will be the same sizing as the previous run of IH-526-sbg? the one from 2016, I saw the size chart for that jacket on the old forum thread and found the small size to be perfect with the shorter length body and longer sleeves. I find most of the new modified jackets to be crazy long on me but granted I have a weird build, short torso long arms etc. I'm basically a 5ft 9 gibbon monkey lol.

[popvulture]

@jcarney1995 stuff will generally always vary from run to run, could be in the ballpark but always best to just go off the new chart whenever it’s available.

[jcarney1995]

@popvulture Ill just have to hope the denim gods are looking down on me when they release them

[Mizmazzle]

Whoa! For some reason I thought this T3 had never been done in SBG before. Guess this brings up a question or two.

1. Is every IH with pockets “modified?” Meaning slightly longer in length?
2. The size chart from 2016 release seams to be on the shorter side regarding length. My dream would be to have the shoulder at 18” the chest at 21.5 rhe sleeve at 25”ish and the most difficult to find for me…length of 25.5”

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle My understanding is that the OG Levis Type III had no pockets, therefore any Type III with pockets is inherently "modified."

[popvulture]

Same way I understood it ^^^

[popvulture]

Interesting, though, that the old one has pockets and isn’t labeled as modified.

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf that’s what I thought too. Guess the unmodified OG jackets would be really short in length. I really struggle with that.

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle yeah a lot of times original spec type 3s are way short, and in my experience, 2s and 1s even more so (or maybe just boxier).

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture I think that’s what got my wheels turning…hoping, really, that the new release will be longer in length.

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle I have a weirdly short torso, so I like short jackets But not too short. I think 25.5 is perfect for me.

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf haha. Totally. Sometimes it confuses me that a dude as tall as you wears the same size shirts and jackets as me. Haha

@popvulture guess them old cowboys didn’t like sitting on their jacket tails when they rode the horsies? Was that the logic?
