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

[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…

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

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

^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)

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…

[joesaintjohn]

Man, I really love this jacket. Still trying to decide if it would fit me or not.

[emceeQ]

^it's a great looking piece.  Especially like the green…

[tigerpac]

^JSJ - runs a bit bigger than the IH chambray (the 65) and smokey flannel.  I wear an XXL in those items and the CPO.  Can comfortably fit the CPO over either of those shirts.

Another weekend another time hearing a lumberjack reference while wearing this coat.

This lumberjack is happy to have the CPO to battle the current deep freeze going on!

What colorways can we expect in the CPO for 2013.  Any plaid other than red?
