Think i'll go with an XL and flick them through that photo with the measurements to see what they think.

@pechelman so XL?

@doubletee

This is me in my L IHSH-33 that measures

Shoulders 18.5
Length 29.5
Chest 22.6
Waist 20.5
Opening 21.75
Sleeve 25

Please excuse the cold dead eyes stare hahaha.

I'm thinking I'd like it a little looser so XL sounds like the go.

@doubletee

What are your measurements if you dont mind me asking?

I have once again opened an email from IH and found myself looking to buy more denim I dont need but really really want.

Stuck between ordering L or XL.... I've gone L in the IHSH-33 and IHSH-62 and they feel quite fitted with a bit of room to move.

I'm 6'1 and 87kg

@pechelman said in IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo:

Also, this thing makes a broken in 14oz type 3 feel like a t-shirt.

Haha right!? I've been wearing a broken in 15oz type 1 by studio d'artisan and it feels like nothing compared to this thing.

She arrived yesterday. Impressive how quick it mades it way down to New Zealand.

Did an initial soak at 35deg and got it on damp. Sizing feels perfect!

First proper day of wearing it today and honestly im not sure who is wearing who at this stage haha. Definitely going to take some breaking in but i'm excited.

Just pulled the trigger on the L and flicked through an email requesting the copy with the largest shoulder measurement. Thanks for your help all!

@Kasi thanks for the input man! Only worried about room in the shoulders so going to talk to the IH crew when I order it to get the biggest L they have.

@Kasi how close are your measurements to mine?

@Heavy_blue the shoulders is what I'm worried about! I think that's where my superblack is too tight and it kills me. Maybe an XL and a hot soak is where it's at.

@pechelman that's good info. Looking at the OD chart I'd say the XL in OD would be perfect.

Just measured up my superblack that feels a little snug around the shoulders/back.

Shoulders 18.5
Chest 22
Length 25
Waist 21.4
Opening 19.2

Final question while trying to figure out sizing (maybe ha), how much shrinkage do these have in them?

@T4920 Hmmm thanks you're probably right. Maybe the XL would be a bit big and look funny with how stiff the jacket will be?

Just noticed that my superblack is a size 40 when I am normally a 42 to 44 in other denim jackets/shirts.

I really dont need another jacket but I dont think I can resist!

Struggling with sizing though. I have a superblack non fade type3 in L and it fits though is maybe a little snug unless I am wearing a t-shirt only, so was thinking of sizing up. But comparing the charts the L on this latest batch seems a little bigger than the L superblack, do I still go up to XL?

Have attached a photo of me in the L superblack as well as the superblack sizing chart.

And finally the chart for this drop, L or XL? I'm 6'2/185cm and 80kg/175 pounds.

Perfect, might give it a crack tomorrow.

She's probably due then haha. Med temp machine wash inside out? How do you dry it?

@neph93:

Shirt fades are a different business in my experience, because of the need to wash more regularly and because they get rotated more. But the same applies. Wear, work, wash, repeat. It is a gentler but no less rewarding process.

On that note, how and how often would you was the 33? I havent put mine through yet haha (wear a t-shirt under so it aint too stanky).

@Giles:

Sorry about that….   Some stuff goes so quickly these days….

And no worries @Giles theres probably worse problems to have haha

@neph93 Oh i dont regret it one bit. Have been wanting one of these bad boys for a while now so it was inevitable when I saw that restock notification.

Havent taken my IHSH-33 since I got it maybe 3 months ago and its only just starting to show hints of the beginnings of a fade. Now I will have to add this one to the rotation!

I may have made the mistake of having a quick look at the numbers of these available thismorning, only to see that there was just 1 L left (there was 6 last time I checked)…

I panicked and spent $285 I wasnt planning on spending

@hoppy_IPA:

Was happy to wake up & see the restock email for these.  Grabbed an XL.  Now if only the weather would cool down.  It’s supposed to be 100* this weekend.

Haha I cant say I had the same reaction. Have wanted this shirt for a while now but my wallet definitely wasnt expecting this. Here we go again… 

@neph93 @LewisStonehouse
She's definitely a cruel mistress! But @sabergirl provides hope.

I think I might have to start sleeping in it haha.
