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.

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.

Waiting…

I bought the burgundy version in large, mainly because the body length of the of the large ihsw-23 measures about the same as the medium 49 (66cm on the 23 feels too short for me at the back - sometimes feels like it rides up over the belt line allowing air in). If the medium armhole is cut higher up, as I think it may be, I think it will tend to ride up higher making the back length feel shorter than the 23, even though the back measurements are the same. I should receive the burgundy in a few days. I've got a Strike Gold hoodie slightly smaller cut than the 23 but has a back length of 69cm which works well for me.
