@Giles:

WOW! Look at that alpaca!!! Alpaca is my favorite fiber ever. Because it's a hollow fiber it's 7-8 times warmer than wool and because it has so view scales it's extremely soft to the touch.
I feel like this gal right about now…

those stock levels correct? seems like a handful only

[Giles]

They are correct.  We got a total of 30, that is all.  When I placed the order back in April, we still had quite a lot of IHM-04 left, so the numbers I ordered reflected my then view of how many of the 2014 version we would sell.  I probably should have ordered more, but that is one of the perennial problems of retailing; accurately predicting demand….

Will be waiting in by my front door all day tomorrow in anticipation of my IHM-09 in Black Medium being delivered by the lovely UPS people. Only one more sleep

Wondering about the sleeve length. I have a Mister Freedom n1 and Mullholand Master and the Sleeves run 23/24 inches. THis jackets dimensions all line up to those jackets but the sleeves are 3 inches longer. Is that because the interior sleeve is shorter? Will these sleeves bunch up or run way too long? any help is appreciated

[Giles]

The storm cuff helps hold the sleeve in position.

I put a small cuff in the sleeves of my 04, works out nicely for me.

Received my IHM-09 from IH UK and and I absolutely love it  It's been cold here lately and with the jacket on I'm left feeling toasty and warm. Anyone who is contemplating buying the IHM-09, I would say go for it as it will be an investment and a sound purchase. Here's a pic of my black medium IHM-09 amongst more IH and other Japanese pieces.

Here's the large on a 6'1" 200 lb frame.  I decided to Otter Wax mine.  Used most of a 5 oz bar and need to order a second bar to finish.  Wax needs to set/wear in but I'm pleased.

The fit looks great! How does it feel? Do you have room to layer?

You are a little bigger than me (6' 185-190) and I decided to go for an XL, which should arrive today. I briefly had ownership of a Freewheeler's N-1 in size Large / 42 and it had similar chest / shoulder measurements as the large IH. I had to return it because I couldn't comfortably wear it with anything other than a T-shirt.

Gives it a bunch of character.

Great job.

[Quoise]

UPS just dropped off the package. Such a relief; the XL fits me great. There's enough room for layering (important in Chicago!) without looking bulky. I'll get up some pics over the weekend.

[Joule]

Quoise - Glad the XL fits!  I can fit the ultra heavy flannel and long sleeve tee under the large for a comfortable, but snug fit.  XL for you in Chicago is a sound choice.

Thanks everyone for the fit comments.  Re: waxing.  I hate to use the phase 'hand rubbing' with this crowd…but that's all I've done so far with the wax bar.  I've got more wax ordered now.  When I apply that batch I'll use some hair dryer action to work it in a bit.  I'll be sure to post after pics.
