IH-531 - Wabash Chore Jacket

[tmg]

Nice, reminds me a bit of the IH Railroad jacket…...whatever happened to that project?

[mclaincausey]

Love this.

Gently washed my Wabash western last night and the colors that start emerging are so cool. This coat is going to age gracefully, to put it lightly.

Normal price on this would be about USD465, but as I took all H had left, I applied a little bit of "pretty please"…..

[Scottystyles]

Scored one!! They are fucking amazing!! Don't sleep if have a hard on for chore coats or wabby!!

[Scottystyles]

I'm an XL in most IH. XXL with some. This I'm XXL and its perfect!!

[Giles]

I have placed these on the website.  One of the studio bulbs just blew, so there are no fit pics, I'll sort this out as soon as I get replacement bulb…

Love this… Chest seems really really small though.

^I know, right?  I was all about this until I saw the chest measurements.  I have a feeling that the p2p is deceptive.  If G is wearing an XL, with a 22 inch chest, the p2p is still smaller than a normal L IH top; but he describes it as roomy.

Do you mind shedding a little light on this, G?

[Giles]

No words of wisdom I am afraid….But here is me in a Large:

And in an XL:

Large:

Extra Large:

Imho the XL looks better!

Enjoy ya addiction!

[seanocono]

Great.  Thanks for the pics, G.  I think they both look great, and are worth rolling the dice for.

[mclaincausey]

Yes. I think a chore coat should have some room, the XL looks brilliant on you G.

[Giles]

Yeah, I was one the fence, but for what I want it for, I decided to upsize…...

[ohighyo]

You get these in for me G??

[Scottystyles]

I sized up to XXL because of the P2P. Fits great! Normal XL would have squished my boobies a little ;).

[Jesselirola]

@scottstyles - so what size shirt do you wear normally?

[seanocono]

So, as I suspected, the measurements are a little misleading with this model. I don't know how to explain it, but my XXL measures 22.5 p2p – as stated on the site -- and fits like a XXL.

If this were a typical shirt, no way this would have fit me. This fits me just fine, though.

I am a huge fan of the IH Wabash, so no surprises there, but this jacket is just fantastic.

I love the look, and the buttons are perfect. This is going to get a TON of wear in my mild climate.

Highly recommend that you ignore the measurements (despite their accuracy) and trust that Haraki-san knows what he is doing.

Amazing eh?  That chest really threw me. Love the jacket, very happy it worked out.
