I'm looking for some sizing advice on this jacket. I wear an XL in IHSH-81 and 72, and a L in IHSH-73. I'm ~ 6'2" and usually target a 44" chest in shirts. Do I go with a L or an XL with this jacket? Thanks!

[zhivago]

If it was me, I'd go xx for layering but def no less than xl

[CityPickin]

Thanks zhivago. I think I'll try XL and see what happens.

Are the arms on these massive?

Was having a look at the measurements in preparation for the new ones dropping…. and the arms seem like they could outwit my stumpy claws!

[Morose_Penguin]

Going by the sizing and the way that IH measures and the photos of the "model" it looks that they are a touch longer than the other jackets… But it looks like you could cuff them easily enough.

[Cutlasshound]

Cheers old chap greatly appreciated!

[Peter]

would it be at all possible for a tailor to shorten the arms on the 2013 version? thinking it might be difficult wih the storm cuff and lining. but what do i know..

[Giles]

Possible but difficult….

[tmg]

G, any news on when these may be available?

[Giles]

Will be ready in Hachioji on 15th.  Then I guess a another 7 days to get to me….

[JCMx800]

Nice, sounds like I going to add a starter kit to my shopping cart

[FurattoHeddo]

Navy is still confirmed to be one of 3 colours? (Just checking)

[Giles]

yep

Since I'm hoping these are arriving soon, my thoughts have turned to weatherproofing, more specifically rain proofing since it's often wet in the UK in winter, and I'd like to be able to wear this jacket without needing to carry a separate waterproof shell jacket to wear on top when the heavens open.
I remember that a few folks on here had tried this, and wondered if they could provide any advice as to what does/doesn't work, and how often they need re-treating?

Thanks

[Finn666]

spray (none special!) is working very well i heard and re-treating whenever you feel the need to do so!…

[mclaincausey]

I would recommend scotchgard over wax as far as that goes.
