Currently debating this one or the 14oz OD Type 3 (IH-526J-142OD)… warmth wise how would they compare?

I'm still newish so - it's hard to take what I've learned about oz's in pants and translate to a jacket.

Some people in that thread were calling the 14 oz a summer jacket and I'm pretty sure my version of a "summer jacket" is an a-shirt lol. I'm kind of looking for a good east coast oct/nov/dec midweight that can see some action in march and april as well.... like could layer it in the low 40s, rock it solo in the 50s/ low 60s.

Obviously any denim jacket won't be a true winter coat but kinda the step just before that.

Anything overdyed is not summer weight.  The overdyeing shrinks the fabric and tightens the weave….

It's here and I think it's worked out well.  My crappy photo doesn't show how crazy the slub is in places (but at least the headless look is probably an improvement :)). Looking forward to seeing how this will develop.

Thanks to @Bailey for help with the sizing.

@ARNC awesome! What size did you go with? Mine comes tomorrow … can’t wait

[ARNC]

Thanks guys.

@Nkwkfld that's what I'm hoping, even if I take while to get there.

@trivsdotcom it's an XL.  I don't have enough type IIIs (yet) to have a usual size, but both the ones I have are +1 from my usual size in IH work shirts.  Hope yours works out for you.

Im new to type iii’s as well, and I followed the same logic! I did an XL, and I’m normally a large in the shirts so fingers crossed.

@trivsdotcom I guess yours has arrived now. How did it work out?

[trivsdotcom]

@ARNC the xl worked perfect!! I’ll get some pics asap.

You’re not wrong!

Enjoying the contrasting textures today - OD slubby denim vs smooth 11oz whipcord. You might see more of this combo in the coming days

I’ve been running this with the SBG 888s to achieve the slub/smooth contrast….. while still summoning my inner Johnny cash haha
