[zatenm]

Good to know!

[Finn666]

hope everything works out right with switching sizes! and the MP joke wasn´t anything bad, just an "insider". so don´t take it too serious

[zatenm]

Thanks Finn. Actually Paula was kind enough to ship me my M even before she received the L! How cool is that??   This has to be one of the best customer service on the planet. A real case study for any marketeer. Can't speak more highly of it.
Got the jist on the MP thing, no worries. More than happy to partake in any inside joke
I should receive the CPO M tomorrow. Can't wait!

[zatenm]

Received the CPO M today! Actually it landed at the office yesterday but I was off. I found it waiting for me on my desk this morning. What a great way to start the day
Caused quite a stirr with the colleagues too. Got showered with compliments for it. Man what an awesome jacket! And the fit is now just perfect
Big thanks to G. & Paula for making this exchange possible in such a record time. Love my CPO

Enjoy it!!  Loving mine so far too

L VE THE FIT. I could have sized down to a XL, but wanted a slightly roomier fit for this one..

[tigerpac]

Got two separate compliments on this jacket last night.

Then got the 'where did you get that?' comment and I managed to stumble through a response… well japan... well really the UK... ehhhh I'll send you link - they make great stuff!

Jacket is badass. Love the look and feel of the wool. Fit is right on and it is warmer then i thought it was gonna be. Only complaint is the backward zipper. I had heard this from another member and figured it wasnt really an issue, but it is kind of annoying. Minor detail though.
Best i can for now

[DougNg]

Does anyone ever find that backward zipper useful?

[Giles]

Doug, I think PP meant that the zipper zips on the other side of the jacket than he is used to.  Not that it is a two way zipper…

[Qinhan]

The fit on that looks great, PP.  Nice score.

[DougNg]

Oh

The only IH jacket I have with the zipper on the wrong side is my hooded sweatshirt, and it does cause some confusion

Still, anyone find a two way zipper handy?

[CLJ]

Never found myself in a situation where I wanted one.

I do want one of these jackets, however…

[natehate]

the double zips were invented for motorcycle jackets so when youre really hunched over if you need that bit of room its just a quick zip away

[emceeQ]

I personally love the double zipper on my IHV-05.  Being able to undo the bottom a bit when sitting down so it's not all bunched up is quite handy…

[DougNg]

I just got one of these as well for Christmas from Giles. It's fantastic. Been wearing since it arrived on Christmas Eve. Unless things go completely sideways weather-wise in Maryland, it should be the jacket I can wear all winter.

Not sure how they did this, but it's warm when I'm outside and comfortable when I'm inside

[tigerpac]

^Absolutely.  The jacket held up well against the snow and 30 degree weather walking around the city last night.

Which colour did you get Doug? Fit pics?

[DougNg]

Black. Also left the IH logo stitching in

I'll take some fit pics shortly (most likely tomorrow, living in my pj's today)
