IHW-06 - Quilt lined Melton CPO Jacket in Red/Black, Black or Green

[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.

[CLJ]

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)

Couple from today


And a quick fit pic

I like the double zip… Great feature, and not just for motorcycles. Wrong (wrong because im used to it on the other side!) side zipper?  Different and sometimes confusing, but not really a big deal after you use it for a while

[tigerpac]

I'm completely used to the zipper now and actually am warming up to the double zip aspect, good for on the subway…
