    • RE: IH-101J-SR - 18oz Selvedge Denim Storm Rider Jacket - Indigo

      @tk303 It was a bit of long explanation but I've been wearing it lately so it was front of mind so had the thoughts all ready. It can be a bit of a challenge too, getting the sizing right so if I can help that's a good deed. I'm in Australia & it's not easy to find someone that can sew denim or cares for that matter (they do care about getting paid however). I took it to a proper tailor, he wasn't sure, I explained to him how I think he can do it (seriously, well to be fair he usually does suits). Anyway, I got him to remove the bottom hem, shorten the body, then reattach the hem. He did a good job, complete with a few crooked lines to make it look 'handmade'. I think the original hem was chain stitched but that's just about impossible to get where I am so it was a sacrifice I was willing to make & it's not noticeable. It couldn't be shortened any more as this would've affected the pockets. The only noticeable change apart from a better length is the hem button spacing is different but who'd look at that? Good luck.

      @tk303 If it's any help, I'm about 6' & 78kg. Exclusively XL in UHF shirts, as L are too tight in the shoulders & too short in the body & sleeves. In IH denim jackets, I'm L (well, in my 5) which are loose enough & allow a UHF or sweater underneath if needed (although the duck type 3 is snug with a t shirt). I've got N1 & A2 jackets, both in XL because L's were too tight in the shoulders & feel small even with a t shirt. Part of that comes down to style too, I think the N1 looks better a bit looser. So back to the SR, mine's a few years old but sizing looks similar. Again, the L is the right size with a UHF or sweater underneath - the M was too small in the shoulders even with a t shirt. The SR is also a different cut to say, the black 9526PJ, both of which fit perfectly (but different) with a UHF under. However, I had the large SR shortened in the body 1 1/2" because it was just too long for my liking (too much material, felt like a coat). If I could change another thing it would be moving the side pockets 1 1/2"'s closer to the centre front - takes a bit of a yoga stretch to get the hands in there & it's never really comfortable (not sure why they're so far around the sides?).

    • RE: IHM-39-OLV - Military Serge A2 Deck Jacket - Olive

      I’m on the fence, really because I don’t need one…but…here I am. I prefer a looser fit in these kind of jackets. I’m usually XL in UHF’s, mainly for the chest & armpit space as well as arm length but as I wear say, 31 in the 634 & 888’s, there’s plenty of UHF fabric around the waist. I’m mostly L in IH denim jackets though, as they fit snug over a UHF. I thought an M in an indigo N1 would fit, as it seemed on paper it would, but it looked silly on me & so tight at the armpits so actually settled on an XL because it simply allowed more movement & layering & the waist buttons pull it in. IH shoulders could always be a couple cm wider for my liking (however, a couple of my denims are perfect). The N1 arms might seem long at first but they’re a good length, helped by the inner cuff. If there is more armpit space on the A2, I’m an L for sure. Just sayin’, hope that helps.

      Update. I’m now an owner of a large, size is snug & just right over an XL uhf (I’m 6’, 78kg, 43’ chest). Anything bulkier underneath & the arms would feel short on me. I do the waist adjusters up tight. It’s slightly less bulky/cozy than the n1, so n1 if I want warmer. Iphone 7 fits in chest pocket with flap closed. Highly recommended, can’t go wrong really but it helps to get the size right.

      @ARNC Thanks, exactly what I needed, a regular bifold (say 4x3 1/4) wallet fits. It’d be very unlike IH to make a useless pocket.

      @Tobi Thanks, I’m still with the iphone 7, which would fit within but the flap may not do up.

      Any chance someone can provide chest pocket dimensions?

      100% cotton? Couldn't see the fabric content anywhere.

    • RE: IH-888S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - OD'd

      My favourite fit because it fits. Most other cuts are too big in the waist & I prefer the higher rise of these. Having said that, is there a chance we'll see a 888 style cut with a slightly (1-2cm) wider hem? Getting tapered jeans on and off in a hurry at the pool or surf is a pain (obviously not everyone's problem). My 634's are close but the thighs are snug.
