      Is that not the same issue for everyone?  The only difference is you start with longer sleeves.  If in doubt, size too long, it's easy to shorten….

        Ahh… Did not know shortening was a possibility. In the past had spoke to another jacket maker who had told me sizing too long was not feasibly "fixable" when he questioned the length of my spec which in turn made me bail. I was fairly certain of my size but then started doubting my self.

        Sorry to be a pain.

                Really want to pull the trigger on one but just want to make sure it's right after dropping 2k on a himel I can't use anymore

                Tat, which himel is it and what size? Do you still have it? I have a friend who's been looking for a used himel..

                WTB: IHSH-154 Grey M, IHSH-91 M

                    Given you still have the Himel, working out arm length for the IHAL should not be too difficult…..

                      Wow i might need one of these in my life

                      How do these compare in sizing to the IH-9527J, I have a 44 which is pretty close to bang on for me.

                        From the website:

                        • We try to keep most of the more popular sizes in stock.  We can, of course, do other sizes to order, lead time will normally be 2 weeks or so.  Please contact us to discuss

                        • NB: Please note that we only have size M (38) made and measured as yet.  Other sizes are being made at the moment and the sizing chart will be updated as soon as we have the other sizes to hand. “Model” (Giles) will wear size L (40).  Giles is 6" 2" with a 42" chest. 33" waist and weighs 190lbs

                        So basically, I don't know, but it doesn't matter

                                Perhaps you could link me to the measurement instructions, if they can be made to measure i probably should do so

                                        Can we possibly get a fit pic?  Definitely want to treat myself to the Burgundy.  I'm 5'8" and 160 pounds.  I have a 41 inch chest.  Would the Large be the right size to get?

                                          I'm 6' 2" and 185, I think I will be an L.

                                          But atm, it is only a think…..
