I think I will try this in a large…

[babyknight]

are these on their way to Gosport?

[Giles]

Probably early this coming week.  They were delivered to Hachioji this week end.  But the guys are all at the Vibes meet up and when they get back they will have to QC them…...

[babyknight]

Cool, thanks.  Will these be sized 36, 38, 40, 42 etc. like the SEXIH collabs (and it sounds like your sample is done that way too)… presumably 36 is small, 38 medium etc. anyway so maybe it makes no real difference.

[Giles]

All IH jackets are made thus:

36 = S…......46 = XXXL

Most will be marked 36-46 on the inner leather patch (if there is one) and the equivalent S-XXXL on the flasher

Any other tag sizing is ad lib.......

Whoa…that's so necessary…

[babyknight]

G, fair to assume these are not gonna be at IHUK this week?

[Giles]

Wont hit this week…...

[elclintor]

this week?

[Giles]

No, sorry.  They have been sitting in Hachioji waiting for me to divvy them up between me and my retailers.  I only managed to do that about an hour ago, so they'll be here mid next week is my guess.  SORRY…..

Sizing….....

[Giles]

Just been photographing this baby.

I thought that it would be impossible to do, but Haraki has made the production version SO much better than the sample.

Two examples:

Twill interlining on the plackets to give them heft. Can't photograph it, because you can't see it (I just spotted it when I got got up close and personal to a botton hole)

Duck facing on the pocket reverses so you don't notice that there are pocket bags on the inside of the jacket so easily.

[babyknight]

Gorgeous.  Now just get em up on the shop so we can all give you our money…

Btw, the length seems a tad shorter than the denim Type IIIs - is it noticeable?
