@LandoCal126:

And someone really needs to get the Grey IHJ-05!!! It is really something special!

Ok, dumb question: are the IHJ-05's made in Japan?

One thing for sure – this Cordura jacket simply seems indestructible. Frighteningly rip-stop strong.

Saw these beauties along with the Super Black Rider Jacket at Self Edge 
The sizing is definitely larger for the IHJ-05 compared to the early windbreaker version.
I liked how the "Small" fit gave a more trim look (I wear L for early version). 
The outer texture is way thicker, waterproof and this jacket will last a lifetime.  Very nice!

Managed to get off my bum and sort the web page out:

Large is 49"??

OK, dumb question #2: Where are the sleeves measured from? Is the top where a regular shoulder seam would be, or is it at the collar like the last windbreakers( if my memory is correct)?

[Giles]

No, not dumb, I agnoised for oh, seconds, trying to work out what best to do.  I  tried to do it to where a "normal" sleeve would finish.  Would you like me to also measure to the centre of the collar?

[Guest]

Ok, Thanks.
From where the shoulder would be makes more sense to me.

[Giles]

If you add my shoulder measurement to 2 x arm length, you get the total cuf to cuff length,,,G

Yup. I have tested this out… Works like a charm! I feel like the "Teflon Don" in this this...

Once again the horribly unpredictable weather here in the By Area proved no match for the IHJ-05! Rain and Wind… HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAA

Just sold one of these to a new customer, this is what he said in the accompanying email:

"btw, i have a grey condura riding suit, high end, from aerostitch usa.  last night when i was debating over black or grey, i took an old swatch of the material and put, peanut butter, olive oil, and some beet juice on it, let it set for an hour and then hosed it with some stain remover and agitated it in the sink.  came out completely like new.  this is good stuff for a daily jacket…  "

…that's my email.  I'm looking forward to the new addition.  The jacket's just leaving the hub from across the pond so it'll be a week or so and I will post pics.
