I bought this on a whim from IHUK as they could do next day delivery and I don't like waiting. I know I could have got it cheaper, but I was unsure about the fit and wanted to return it if necessary and wait for the longer 526L. Anyway, I'm glad I got this, as the 526L is 2" longer, which I see I don't need. This came in bang on spec, which is always a relief, but typical for IH in my experience.
For those who don't know, IH's 21oz denim is incredibly soft. I have the 634S jeans, but when I opened this packet, I was amazed yet again just how soft this is, considering the weight. My 21oz 9526V is so much stiffer in comparison, completely different.
I sized up to XL from my usual L size in IH, as it seemed a smallish cut. I know that many prefer to wear it tighter and shorter, but I want a little room for a thin layer or vest if necessary, or if I eat too much chocolate. These are fit pics out of the box, but it's now drying after a warm soak, which might shrink it a little and hopefully make it look less shiny and new. I'll maybe put up post-soak pics later.
Up until now, I wouldn't have been seen dead in a denim jacket, but this board has too many enablers for that.
Note to mods: Maybe you could copy or move jeffrx 's 526J pics and posts from the 526J-DD, as they're lost in there and more relevant here.
