Well damn. Trying to decide what color I wanted and the Large Khaki sold.

G, so the Navy come up smaller? Sending you a PM…

[Giles]

No.  Both are the same size.  I wore both merely to illustrate what the 2 sizes look like on me…

[FurattoHeddo]

^The XL looks like the better fit on you, which did you prefer?

[Giles]

The XL marginally…..

any news about the meaning/idea of use of those snap buttons? @Giles
I remember that being a topic in the thread Shane started the other day.
just asking cuz it would be interesting to know where that detail comes from, thanks!

love the images btw.!

[Giles]

Adds to the wind protection at the top of the zipper….

[Finn666]

makes sense…thanks!

Navy ordered

Large arrived today. Pictures over my 102. Lighting could be better but the fit is spot on. The jacket is much lighter than I anticipated but I can tell it will be nice and warm.

Looks very nice.  You went up one from your usual size, correct?

[superfuzz]

Looks great! Really makes me want the khaki one.

No, I normally wear a Large. The bottom is very stretchy but it barely stretches on me. If I had gone XL the chest would be huge and the bottom of the jacket wouldn't be a very good seal against any wind.

I should also add that the shoulders have gussets similar to the IHM-02. This isn't very obvious in the pictures posted so far. Definitely helps in layering and moving your arms around.

It was a tough decision. The khaki looks great with the olive accents. But in the end decided that I will wear the Navy more.

It looks great on you. Wish I could afford one.

Same, looks perfect @veloaudio

Thanks guys. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Yeah, I am digging this bad boy.

Pic isn't the greatest.  The patch came off pretty simply with a $2 seam ripper.  Left virtually no marks that a quick dab of a wet cloth couldn't eradicate.

Nice pickup, Midgegante!

[Midgegante]

Thanks seanocono,

If I had inexhaustible pockets I'd snag the khaki too.  These are incredible quality.  Agree with the one poster (perhaps another forum) who suggested these might be the piece of the season.

Cheers.
