[MikeC]

I want….

Obviously no one knows for sure until these have been tested outdoors, but would it be right to presume that this is likely to be a mid-warmth piece, not as warm as say something like an IHJ-08, but warmer than a shell or typical raincoat because of the ventile lining?

[Giles]

The satin cotton outer is fairly hefty.

I've just weighed an XL and it's an impressively hunky 3.7lbs

[MikeC]

I think your right BK.

[babyknight]

cool, thanks

On the JP website it says Ventile Lining HEAVY Satin Field Jacket.

G you reckon this is good for the weather in UK now? of course with a IH shirt underneath.

[Giles]

yes

[Giles]

Hood is not Ventile (like the sample I saw in May), but a lightweight rip-stop nylon….

[MikeC]

That's way more practical and less bulky. I personally would opt for this hood over a ventile hood any day.

[MikeC]

Does it detach or is it sewn in?  Just wondering.

[Giles]

Sewn in

[MikeC]

U like L in these?

[Giles]

Dunno yet

[MikeC]

I'm losing my mind, refreshing this page to see measurements every minute.  Keep that 60's-70's shit coming down the pipeline. I wanted this when G put up the pics of H wearing the sample in May.

[Giles]

I'm a Large….

Is it me, or is the shoulder measurements looking small? I'm a size S in the Type III's and they fit well, although a little snug in the shoulder area. Sizing up doesn't seem like a good plan on these though.. Thoughts?

[Giles]

L feels good on me which is my normal size, remember these have actions pleats, if I extend the pleat, I get another 1 - 1.5" in the shoulder
