Once it goes in the pile it doesn't come out!!!!  I am wearing my SExIH07BK III right now on my way to family dinner… Black will be nice for more formal events.

Honestly the sickest type III i ever saw. Picked one a few time ago but send it back to G. cause was too short 
Being a tall & straight sucks when you want japanese stuff. Don't understand why this jacket is so short wheras shirt perfectly fits me.

But i dream of it every night and i'm planning to re-order one with sizing up

Good to have you here Joey.  Certain cuts just dont suit certain people.  For instance, Flat Head shirts just look crap on me, Iron Heart shirts fit a dream.

I'm 6'2" and the XL 526J and the 9526J work well for me, perhaps I just don't mind short jackets.

Yep you right. But I need a spring / summer evening jacket. Really considerating to cop a L. Sometime i need a little time to really feel the stuff.

Giles – does Haraki-San make constant runs of these ? And what would it take for him to make a "Ladies M" next time, just for Shubha ? Would it be like twice the normal price ?

[Giles]

They are a repeat run item.  Maybe a couple of runs a year.  I will check out if we can do a Shub-version…G

Sorry to do this to you G but is there any way I could get a quick fit flick of you in the L so I can make my final decision? Do it whenever you have a chance or are going down to the garden to do something else.  Thanks You!!!

Lando - Your wish is my ….......

In Large.

Thank you for that G. As usual, you were on point. I am gonna go with the XL. I guess if it is too big I will have to send it back. Something that I have NEVER had to do due to G's expertise on sizing.

if i have a size small IH-9526V that fits perfectly, do i size the same for this jacket?

[Giles]

Yep

@Giles:

Yep

Hmmm. I have a (40) in the IH-9526V and am going to get a (XL) in the IH-9526J. Just my perspective for reference. Am I wrong to thing that a (M) would be better for ADDIC?

[Beatle]

mere measurements are exactly the same…

[Dchill]

I'm a M in the 9526V and would be a M or maybe even a L in 9526J.  Joeysullivan is almost the exact size as I am and he posted pics of him in the M 9526J a while back and the sleeves were just a little too short so he returned it.

Next run off the presses at the end of September….G

Mr G,
I don't understand the slang. Does it mean, end of September they be out for sale?
btw…reserved one  'S' for me.

[Giles]

Sorry Stan.  I mean that they will be completed in Japan at the end of September.

I should have them here early/mid October.

As S is reserved for you.

had some money stashed up for new jeans, decided they could wait, and got this instead. Giles sent out today and I'm stoked to try it on!

Fit flicks ASAP please?!?!?!

[thewickett]

here's some quick webcam photos. Nicer pictures to come in the fall I'm sure - too hot outside right now/no real cam in the dorm room. I'm 5-8 160 lbs and I got a size large - almost went with a medium and I'm glad I didn't. I love the fit on the jacket and thanks Giles for the 3 day UK to Iowa shipping!

edit: pictures are showing up distorted to me, no idea why - they look fine to me in photobucket. If they are showing up distorted to you (… and everybody else unfortunately..), let me know!
