IH-526Lod - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo Overdyed Black

@jerkules Good to hear! Rereading your post and seeing that you prefer a little wiggle room, I think you definitely made the right choice with the XXL.
As much as I love my slimmer fitting one, it's definitely a case of form>function..
Like Miz says, once it breaks in and molds to your body it'll really come into its own! (Just don't expect it to drape anytime soon, mine is still rigid and creaky after 3 months wear and a wash)

So I’ve wanted one of these for ages,….. but I’m just curious what others think out there. Too big?
In my experience with the Triangel of Terror Jacket
yours is fine. Arms will settle and there’s molding expectable. -
Yeah looks great @jerkules

@jerkules oh man!! Thanks for asking and funnily enough, just got word that it has landed back to the sender. After sitting in Netherlands post for months my boy Jeffery finally had to demand it be returned. Took a couple more weeks but it’s back with him now. Soooo, this time I won’t be a cheap bastard and take the lowest possible cost option for shipping and will opt for fed ex or DHL or ups and have it insured! If all goes smoothly it could be here next week hypothetically. What a wild ride!!!

@jerkules looks good brotha.
Make regular and relaxed fits great again!I too had to size up to the xxxl even though xxl fit. I wanted to be able to toss an uhf under it and the xxl would allow for it but movement was restricted.
Needed an xx\l I guess lol -
Thanks gang, looking forward to giving the jacket some heavy wear this season.
@Mizmazzle that’s great to hear, stoked for you! Looking forward to seeing some pics of yours.

I suppose the 526LOD fades quicker than other cuts, because it’s so stiff: even after quite a few days of wear, it still leaves me rushes at crease of my arms, when I wear just it over a t-shirt

@AdamJ stunning

Well...my 526LOD arrived this morning and it exceeds all expectations! I wanted to add an OD Type III to my wardrobe and was chatting with @Graham at the mothership about the 14oz OD...he told me that if I really wanted the best OD to go for the 19LOD. I will admit after seeing pictures of the non-OD version of this jacket online, I was hesitant to jump into something that looked so stiff and heavy. However, the OD process significantly softens the denim, so I decided to go for it. I ordered the Size L and it fits perfectly (5'10" 168 pounds)...I am blown away by the texture and inky finish on this jacket...I am really thrilled with it!!!

I say this about nearly every new piece of Iron Heart clothing....but this jacket just might be my favorite of all! After the first full day of wear, the elbows are already setting up nicely!

I’d like one one day…but Jesus, how many type 3s can a person have!? (Responses will vary greatly!!)
I think the answer is more standard than you might think being the correct number is n+1, where n is the number of type 3s already owned.
