          The 4S will actually be a giant leap forward in terms of my current camera setup.

              yeah too snug on the forearms when layered . . . which is the way i would wear it.  if i wear it alone with a tee it's fine  😠

              i'm just popeye . . . but i think G did mention it was close on the forearms.  i just figured (like a fool i must add) that my IHD-01 fits fine in a xl so this should be fine as well.

                  Hey madmonday, don't you have the blue / black version of this?  Same size? How does it fit?

                      Nice pics SimonQ, did you size one up?  How's the fit in the forearm, particularly at the wrist?

                        yep, sized up from xl (which i wear normally in IH shirts but which sometimes comes a bit snug after washing.)

                        fit at the wrist is super. its a tad tight to come through when you put on the shirt but thats all. i don´t have to open the buttons for entering.

                        afterwards theres more than plenty of room for anything. well - layering could be a problem, havn´t tried yet. you may just open the last button for that..

                        fifediesel: i think that the xxl looks better on you ;P

                          I spoke to Haraki about the apparent tightness on the lower arm.

                          His response….There have been no changes to the pattern from last year, but the Melton wool is slightly thicker than last year, he thinks this is why it feels a little tighter.  On the up side, as it is wool, he says it will stretch pretty easily.....

                            fifediesel - XXL looks like it should be a great fit. the XXXL looks a bit too big in the shoulders and all…

                              Omega, i have the blue from the first run in an xxl  & the fit is fine layered over anything.  i thought i could afford to go down a size based on the fit & the fact that no xxl were available for  purchase from G. unfortunately the xl body is fine, but the forearms feel snug.

                              i am stubborn as an old billy goat or injunjack, so even though G states wool should stretch I don't want to go through all that.  i think i told you all about my phobia of smedium looking or felling clothing  😠

                              makes me think of tommyboy & the large man in a little coat

                                Ah, I see.  Now I know, thanks SimonQ and madmonday.

                                Now, questions for G.  Now that we know there are no changes to the pattern, how about the wool itself?  The charcoal this year is definitely way softer and less scratchy than the older versions of the black and blue.  Is there a difference in weaving (if there is such a term)?  The cupro (Satin) lining in the yoke and the new button holes were a nice touch.  My fingers were grateful that they didn't have to go through hell to button them up  ;D.

                                  I don't know about any difference in weaving.  I will bring it up with Haraki when I am in Japan….G

                                    I have not had a moment to sit down and compare the three I own but there are only a few noticeable changes: Satin Lining, Cuff tightness, and scratchy/ thicker Wool. I never wear my cuffs closed on these shirts so I didn't notice it until SimonQ mentioned it. I will take a look at them all next to each other some time this week and report back.

                                    I had the exact opposite reaction to the Wool/ incarnation from this year of the IHW-01. The Wool being thicker makes it more coarse IMO. Not that this bothers me as the thicker the better!

                                      not a great fit pic, yeah but still…
                                      I had this in an L before, fit like a jacket but the body and sleeve length on me was pretty sloppy
                                      went down to an S which I wear in most IH button/snap shirts
                                      it fits snug like a shirt now and I like it that way
