IH-533 - Fleece Lined 21oz Indigo Selvage Denim Modified Type III Jacket

Yes it is seriously unfortunate, and we're all very upset.  But when we make tiny runs like this, we do our best guess.  Our best guess was wrong with this run, we'll do better next time.  We can sample and sample and sample, but each sample costs us twice as much as a production item.  So sometimes we just decide to go with our gut feel after just one sample.  We could have done a few more samples, then they would have been a season later and more expensive….

And yes, next time we hope and expect to do much better with bigger sizes, will be on the agenda with Haraki next week…

Thanks for even trying to help us big guys out. If it weren't for you two and I'd assume maybe even Kiya, us big guys would be shit out of luck in regards to IH tops. This seems like it just comes down to a possible miscommunication.

I just hope these sell quickly as to not hinder you from a rerun next season. Especially since you basically have XXS and XS, which seem like Tommy's size.

Yup, I'll prob be taking the smalls back to Japan next week…..Gavin/Tommy?

[jabber]

Paula, whats your fit on size M? If you are snug, thats my size…. I packed some pounds recently, far away from my wabash vest S fit. Thats a pitty to ship them small sizes back to Japan, lets keep them in Europe:)

G. can you wear/layer anything other than a t underneath that XXL?

[sirxlaughs]

What a great, functional jacket. If I hadn't already purchased the SEXIH18, I'd be all over this.

this is great news - hope that regular type III's fall into this as well, an xxxxl would be great!

sucks about this scenario.

shame but it looks lovely

[madmonday]

wow, i missed this some how. really great piece & would pair really well with so much.

[madmonday]

are the hand warmer pockets fleece lined?  really don't need another Type III, but this is really calling me.

not sure if it's the cord collar, but man i am loving this . . .

@madmonday:

Good question, but no.  Just over the top twill…..

[SimonQ.]

where are the pictures? ;/

[madmonday]

agree simonq, this seems to be getting overlooked with the onslaught of great outerwear.

[Finn666]

that cord collar is one of the best details around imo…love it!

Guys, how come this thread is so dead? I've tried this gorgeous jacket when i was in Berlin and is just  a m a z i n g! Indeed it fits small, i tried the L(my IH regular size)and it was tight.

Fit pics, how warm it is experiences, etc…?? Someone, anyone??

I have a Type III in superblack, size XXXL that fits great over tee and long sleeve shirt. How does the XXXl on this compare?

afte the sizing chart and after G's pic and size info on the first page, I'd say that this jacket comes up 1-2 sizes smaller as your standard type III jackets from IH!
so my guess is that you'd need a XXXXL or even a XXXXXL in this one (which unfortunately doesn't exist!)…
