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.

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.

Sleeves are on the long side but the cuffs keep it in place so it still looks good. Once the fabric sets it won't be problem at all. The zipper is a beautiful piece of metal.

The more picures I see of the olive one, the more I like it. To bad it is just not in the budget this year.

[spork141]

The olive is so perfect between tan and green that it works for both colors. At first I was let down that it wasn't tan, but after getting it, I'm glad it's this color.

Wanted to add a few fit pics of my new IHM-09 in Black Medium. Apologies for the poor picture quality 

I love this jacket, its an absolute IH favourite for me.

How would you guys compare this jacket to a down one, as far as warmth goes?

thanks!

[mclaincausey]

Without having worn this particular coat, I can generally say that alpaca is feckin warm. But nothing short of self-immolation compares to high loft down for ultimate warmth.
