        There is a certain logic to that…  😃

          The parka arrived today and it fits. However I haven't got around to taking pictures because I had to help @louisbosco eat all the meat in the world. 😛

              Looks like a solid Texas barbecue joint.  That even looks like vinegar based slaw, which is far superior to that disgusting mayo based stuff.

                it probably has a lot of southern influence. definitely worth checking out if you're in melbourne. i based it off a place in perth while searching for barbecued rib places. (because whatever perth has, it probably came from melbourne)

                  OK, here's a shot of the parka. I haven't got around to doing a full fit-pic yet.

                  It's a beast of a coat, being made from the 21 oz denim. It's stiffer and heavier than an M-65. @AdamJ reckons it's probably a bit warmer than one of those.

                  The pockets can hold a lot. I was carrying my camera in one, and a 500 ml water bottle in the other. The slotted buttons, which are sewn on with a tape, shouldn't come loose.

                  I particularly like the pale blue chambray lining, which gives a bit of a colour flip.

                  If you're an XL or XXL, you should probably buy one.

                      Another photo of the parka.

                      It reminds me of an Aero FQHH jacket. It's very heavy and stiff, and will need a fair amount of wear to break in.

                            Whats up friends. I put that Denim Parka where it belongs, in the mountains. I Just got the jacket and i love it. It is a bulletproof suit of denim armor, perfect for the snow and trees. It really act as a denim shell. You can layer it according to the weather. I'm going to beat the hell out of it.

                                  Thank you guys. Relatively new to the beauty and wonder that is Japanese selvedge denim. I've got a few pairs of jeans that are broke in real nice. I can't wait till this jacket is butter soft and baby blue. I appreciate the welcome.  🙂

                                    I've been wearing my IHJ-65 a lot recently.

                                    It's layered with an IHV-24 in this shot, as Melbourne was going through a bit of a cold snap earlier in the week. Normally it's warm enough over a t-shirt and light sweater down to 10°C.

                                    The denim is surprisingly water resistant. It takes over half an hour, possibly even an hour, for it to soak through.

                                    It is still pretty stiff, which makes the hood particularly annoying, as it doesn't really sit flat. I'm hoping that it'll soften up before too long.

                                      I've still got the Mountain Parka, and occasionally wear it. Here it is being modelled with Flash, who I was walking at the Greyhound Adoption Programme on Saturday.

                                            I believe that they were run for a season in 2018, and they didn't sell in big numbers. I picked mine up from the Outlet.

                                            I had an earlier iteration of the denim M-65, and this piece is heavier.
