Thanks a lot. Much appreciated!

and thats btw, a very dangerous site, a truck load would be incoming if there wouldn't be a certain spending limit…

I want a J-100 Padded...

[Qinhan]

I've got the non-padded version.  It's an awesome piece.

[rocket]

bet on that, I wouldn't mind some pics…

[Qinhan]

^  Give me a few days and I'll see what I can do. 

I tried on the padded version last time I was in Japan and it was brilliant too.  The horsehide is fantastic and the cut just perfect.  Be careful with the sizing though.  I'm a 38 in the RM A-2 and the same in their other civilian jackets but a 40 in the J-100.  Chest on the 38 was too tight and sleeves were too short.

thanks for the advice, always very welcome.

looking forward to some pics and no rush at all…

[Qinhan]

This one's for you Rocket…

With just a t-shirt:

Layered with an ihsh-70:

And a few close up shots to try to convey the beauty of the grain:

Qinhan, that is perfect. nice one. what size do you normally take in IH shirts or jackets?

[Jord666]

How do you guys go about ordering from the Japanese site? I can't seem to translate it to English on my computer.

Cheers

^Use sutocorp.com or sharpservice.jp as a proxy, they will charge a fee however; also not everything (especially from past seasons) is available from the real mccoys webpage even if it may seem so in the drop box menus …

Thanks Babyknight.

In IH jackets I'm nearly always a medium.  Shirts vary between Small and Medium.  You can check out my "role call" for specifics.

Nice pickup on the CPO shirt Jord, would love to hear more about it when you get it…

[hassinator]

yep really nice piece - i love cpo shirts.  is that a pure wool flannel?

[Jord666]

Yep it's the wool flannel, can't wait for this now, was really torn between the blue and red but went for blue purely on that fact I have less blue in my wardrobe will post some pics as soon as it arrives with me
