IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
Lol! Thank you. I just checked and the 22oz is out on my size. Now i am tore up between the xxxl and the xxxxl on the 19oz. Both sizes look like they will work.
-
Depends what you plan on wearing under it. IMHO type III’s look better as fitted as you can go with normal functions. Sizing up makes sleeves and body longer.
But sometimes there’s discrepancies within each size, not by much but if you talk the crew they will steer you right.
And welcome or sorry for this lifelong addiction.

Well. The xxxl will be very fitted based on the sizing chart. The only thing i will be able to wear under it will be a light shirt or a tshirt. The xxxxl looks perfect everywhere but the sleeves will be about 0.5 on an inch too long.
-
Ah the dreaded long sleeves for us husky folks. I have an xxxl and a xxxxl for layering. Overkill, but that’s the name of the game with IH. Haha.
Now it just sounds like a personal choice.

Unfortunately yes. The xxxxl is really the correct size if i want to wear something besides a tshirt under and be able to move my arms freely. P2p is spot on the xxxxl so i think i need to go with that.

Great looking jacket. I am new to iron heart, i have been browsing through the forum, lots of great people here. I would like to ask if i may for some advice. I am on the market for a jacket and i am looking st the 526j-22od and the 526lod. I know the first is 22oz and the second 19oz. Any other differences between the 2?
@yannis I don't know if hand wamers are an issue for you. For me, they are a dealbreaker. I have an xxl and could've gotten away with a xxxl but I opted for the smaller size because I will be mainly wearing it with a t-shirt. For IH jackets, I'd say normally size up.
-
I dont have a preference. Does the jacket has hand warmers? I am afraid that the xxxl will be too small. My actual chest measurement is 48 inches, so i am thinking i need a p2p around 25. I maybe wrong. This will be my first denim jacket so not really sure.
-
The 19 oz has them the 220z doesn't. I find I use them all the time. It's a personal thing, though.
Also, measure the jackets you have. That will give you a better sizing idea.
-
Thank you so much. My jackets are 25.2 inches p2p and fit kinda snug. I do like a fitted look. I recently bought the ih-888s-od pants in size 36 and love them. What is a left twill? I am clueless obviously. Also is the jacket pretty soft? I was surprised of how soft the pants were, considering the 21oz weight.

There is a primer on the difference between the twills.
As for being soft, this denim will be soft one day (ask @neph93 about the 'tour jacket') but it is rather stiff when you first get it. I'm still breaking in mine and it is getting softer but it's still rather stiff at the moment.

This is also good, obvi.

Thank you man. I appreciated. I will go for it. Pretty sure i will love it. Thanks again

Good morning! The guys have been taking good care of you I see. Just to repeat/clarify one or two things… always go by garment measurements rather than body measurements. Comparing with a jacket that fits you well is the best way to judge the correct size.
Sleeves on IH shirts and jackets are often a little long. With the heavier types III’s you can expect them to shorten a little with wear as thick creases form at the elbow, and stay there.
As mentioned earlier there are differences in the denims IH produce. The 21oz is legendary for its softness. The 19oz LHT will get soft but it takes time.
-
Thank you Neph , thats what i did. I measured a jacket that fits me right using the IH measuring guide and xxxxl seems to be the right size. Also good to know that the sleeves will shorten slightly with use. Initially they will be about 0.5 of an inch too long.
Again Thanks to everybody for jumping in and help me make the right decision. -

Well! I end up ordering both the 19oz lefty and the 22oz, it came back in stock in my size yesterday. Cant wait to try them on. Super exited.
-

@Nemph. Definitely keeping both. The only reason i may send back is if i screwed up the size but i dont think i did.
They will be the only denim jackets i own. The rest of my jackets are….. well just jackets lol. Not denim. Really curious to see the difference between the 2. What got me into IH in all honesty is a pair of IH 888s-od that i bought recently size 36 and love them. I am looking to get another pair maybe different cut, just not sure what would be another good fit.
