      ^ i'm sorry to say it, but i do think an xl will fit rather off on you. I was tripping out about the xl i ordered because giles had fit pics of him in the xl and he's 6'2 i think! but i have a long torso so that helped me out with length, and the chest fit great. but a 38… man, thats a wayyyy off. 4 inches is a big difference. its like wearing size 30 jeans and getting a 34. it'll fit, but you better have a good belt and some baggy tees. i would advise against it. maybe the down jackets will one day (in the distant/not so distant future) be marked down on here too.  😶 just going to have to wait and see. But save your 150 man, its not worth it to look like you're wearing a sleeping bag. my 0.02

        Simon, I think you would need a size Medium.  I am the same size as you and I take medium in all IH shirts and jackets.

          simon, I was in the same boat as you. I wear an XS but those weren't available @ Self Edge and they're not available either through Giles for the discounted price. No discount is worth it if the item is simply the wrong size.

            Mine showed up yesterday, it's just what I was looking for.  I ordered an XL and I'm pretty sure that was perfect.  A large would have been too short in the sleeves.  The wrist/neck knits feel very, very nice!

            42" chest, XL in heavy ombre and last year's heavy winter flannel, XXL in this year's extra heavy chambray

            I was a little bummed to see that it was made in the PRC though…

              Hi Daveo,

              How do you know about the PRC provenance, (I assume you are referring to the down jacket)?

                The tag on the inside says it clear as day.  It is still a nice jacket, but I would be a little peeved if I paid full price and noticed that.

                  I dont have a tag, maybe it was a different run.

                    Mine is on the left side of the jacket, about where my belt would be.

                        If your size isn't available anymore and you still want a really good down jacket/vest, look at Featheredfriend out of Seattle. They can sometimes even do custom colors in hightech Schoeller fabrics. Price is comparable and reputation is excellent. If I were in the market for a down jacket that would be my first choice, especially if the IH is gone. That was a good price. Talk about price elasticity!

                          Hey G, any chance that you could talk to Haraki-San about doing something like this in a waterproof Black Cotton Duck with a hood? Something for the snow/ cold…

                              Well I am thinking I need something for the NY Winter and there are plenty of IH lovers in cold areas of the world(ie. Russia). I know there is tons of stuff in the works and that I won't go cold but I am gonna need a down jacket no matter what! Just depends on what company has one available for me come Winter…

                                        I felt like taking a shower after having put on the IH-SH08 and the IHJ-04 - so fucking WARM.

                                        Anyway: can't wait for winter 2k11  - BRING IT!.. 🙂
