IH-526J-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Superblack (Fades To Grey)
-
@Mizmazzle I have a weirdly short torso, so I like short jackets
But not too short. I think 25.5 is perfect for me. -
@seawolf haha. Totally. Sometimes it confuses me that a dude as tall as you wears the same size shirts and jackets as me. Haha
@popvulture guess them old cowboys didn’t like sitting on their jacket tails when they rode the horsies? Was that the logic?
-
@Mizmazzle Me and my wife are the same height when we sit sent to each other, but I'm 6 inches taller than her.
I think that's exactly why the OG type III is so short.
-
@Mizmazzle For sure. It's good to have things to look forward to. And we certainly can't afford to get everything we want all at once. Also, where's the fun in that?
I'm holding out for a special jacket too

I think it’s for two reasons: people wore higher waisted pants, and they tucked in their shirts. It’s a really cool look doing both of those things, but at the same time it’s not very modern, so it can definitely make you stick out a bit, which may or may not be ideal.
I’ve found that it’s sometimes tough to pull off this look, because most modern shirts are just too short to tuck in without having to worry about them coming loose all the time. Conversely if you buy certain shirts that are made to wear tucked in (vintage pearl snaps or nice dress shirts, for example), they can look awful untucked. Further part of this potential mishmash, a denim jacket that’s on the short side might look weird with an untucked shirt.
Anyway, I’m rambling. TLDR: I think the modified lengths work better with the way people dress now but YMMV.

@Mizmazzle They were only short for the the tall guys on the forum...for us mortals, they were perfect and I very much miss them. Most of my Type 3's from IH are the unmodified (shorted in length and no pockets) because they fit me perfectly. 5'10" and normal torso.

As a rule of thumb I like it to hang inch passed my belt for jacket length but I suppose it depends how high you wear your jeans. I find the rise to be really low in most cuts, bar the 888s
-
@popvulture A great analysis, IMO

Whoa! For some reason I thought this T3 had never been done in SBG before. Guess this brings up a question or two.
- Is every IH with pockets “modified?” Meaning slightly longer in length?
Yes - The size chart from 2016 release seams to be on the shorter side regarding length. My dream would be to have the shoulder at 18” the chest at 21.5 rhe sleeve at 25”ish and the most difficult to find for me…length of 25.5”
Sadly that is not how production sizing works. If only it were that easy

@jcarney1995 this one is modified, so it should be longer
I just rechecked and the old one was modified. Shows how short it must have been if my memory of it is unmodified. This one should be longer, anyway, but should being the key word
-
@Alex hopefully not too much lol
thanks for the info! -
Still figuring out if I should get this jacket??? I already have the overdyed lefty and a Y2 cafe racer so this would be my third black / dark jacket in the rotation... But I love sbg. My friends got me a IH gift voucher for my birthday and I wanted to spend it on something special..
