Just received mine today. It is very nice!

Bloody good fit there @ton312

Dang, man, that looks tailor made!  Very slimming but not too tight.

I couldn’t be happier with both my recent IH jackets. Over the past twenty years I have collected/ bought and sold roughly 1000 leather jackets. I am happy and relieved to aim my spectrum behavior in a new and exciting direction.

[Screeching eagle sound] The eagle has landed… finally.

And the patch after its mandatory first Obenauf's treatment

First thing that came to my mind was: how did I manage to live without the extra internal pockets? They are brilliant, so is the whole jacket.

Agreed! The best part of the handwarmers is the dual purpose they serve as inside pockets. Can't wear a type III without them now.

Congrats @Dion I was looking at this myself today, it's a beauty.

The endless hand warmer pocket debate now seems settled as barely any traditional type III's from IH are extant anymore. I own one traditional now, and two with pockets. I still prefer the traditional versions although the pockets are not a dealbreaker and I actually find the internal pockets way more useful and interesting than the hand warmer's 

[Dion]

Cheers, gentlemen! Yes, I was surprised how roomy and useful the internal pockets are, they are definitely a nice addition. It's a good feeling when your stuff is protected by bulletproof 21 oz. I don't plan to use the outer pockets (handwarmers), though, so they don't become sloppy and ruin the sleek look of the jacket.

It doesn't get better than a 21 oz Type III…

…only a utopian XHS Type III could top it ;).

[Dion]

It was chilly today so the 526PJ has been called for duty.

[neph93]

It loves you. Looks very cool.

Oh damn… grey herringbone, brown duck and dark, new, indigo together. Sexy.

Has anyone purchased a recent version of this in either size L or XL that can speak to the chest measurement and fit, as well as your vitals? I have store credit with Self Edge that I would like to put towards a modified Type III 21oz, but all of their measurements for this jacket are different from those listed by IH (this always seems to be the case with SE).

Yeah, these things are all hand made so they're all going to vary slightly.

I bought my L from IHUK earlier this year, January, I think.  Here are my measurements from the IHUK team:

Shoulders - 18.5"
Length - 25.3"
Chest - 21.8"
Waist - 19.8"
Opening - 20.0"
Sleeve - 26.1"

That's one of my favorite things about the IHUK experience, the crazy accurate per item measurements.

You can ask the SE team to measure the parts you're concerned about, though.

Self Edge also uses a different system for measuring jeans, so those are always going to be off from IH. Jackets should be closer, but I've learned to never trust their numbers on anything.
