IH-9527J - 21oz Denim Rider's Jacket - Superblack Non-Fade
-
See below.
Hi Giles!
I'm seriously considering buying this jacket, but I'm not sure if the XXXL will fit. I've compared the measurements of the XXXL jacket and an XL shirt that I own, and attached pics of the shirt as well.
XXXL jacket XL shirt
Shoulders 53.1 53 :-\ Shoulder fit on shirt is spot on. Couldn't be any smaller though.
Length 68.6 77
The jacket is supposed to be short. Non issue.
Chest 120.9 118 Chest fit in shirt is spot on. Less free space than opening though.
Opening 111.0 111 I have a narrow waist. I have some free space in my shirt opening.
Arm 72.4 68 I have long arms. Shirt sleeves are actually a tad short.
Questions

As you can see from the pictures and the measurements, the chest/shoulder area is going to be the tightest for me. The shirt in question fits nicely, but I can feel it tighten up a bit in the upper back when I put my arms completely in front of my body. Would you say that the action bi-swing will help counter this? I'm basically hoping to hear that the shoulders/upper back will act bigger than the specified 53.1 cm
The bi-swing will help this, adds at least a couple of inches to the chest when you bring your arms/shoulders forward -
Could you measure the upper arm width of the jacket, approximately on the middle of the upper arm? My arm circumference (44 cm at the middle) tends to be an issue with fitted shirts and jackets like this. Going to be an issue. Measures 38
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the service Giles. Unfortunately it will be too tight in the arms. Really wanted to get the leather jacket look without actual leather. Now I'll have to look elsewhere for something that is bound to be not as good :-\
Don't bodybuild, folks

Since I got stranded in a bit of a rainstorm yesterday wearing my Superblack Riders Jacket, i figured id post up some Evo (if you can even call it that lol) now that it has dried:
at the 6ish month mark
That texture:
The arms have molded nicely:
And my favorite detail, the red pocket lining:

XL now back in stock.

Never seen anyone do this to an SB Rider before, I didn't even think it was possible. Is anyone else thinking this might be the indigo version?

That isn't Super black, it's black denim-like what's used on these http://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-634s-blk.html
or http://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-555s-blk.htmlsorry to disappoint

Damn I was way off. I thought it was black denim.
461 is just blue non selvedge denim, correct? Sorry for shitting up thread.

@Anesthetist , sorry man hope I didn't blow your score

No worries, was only going to bid it so far. Was mostly curious about the fit as Ive never owned this type.
