I don't have any IH pieces, but I think I want this as my first piece.

I'm 5'8" 155 lbs. I was thinking of getting a M. I want to be able to layer with a hoodie. Anyone similar height and weight have any input?

thanks

you need to work with (body) measurements, not with height and weight @lascaux …every body is different as you might know!

[jock1624]

Lascaux,

I'm 6 1" and 180 pounds and went with a 42 size . A Large may work for you ?

Like Finn said , measure a similar sort of jacket you own and compare with the IH measurements . Good luck .

Wish it was warm enough around here to wear this awesome jacket!

Hi guys, first time poster here (long time lurker).
I wanted to ask about shrinkage post-washing on this duck canvas fabric. Is it notizeable? do you recommend sizing up if planning to machine wash? thanks!

[Giles]

"Minimal".  That's what I got in shrink tests….

[footandmaff]

Hey Giles, any update on the overdying? I've been thinking about picking one of these up but I'm really interested so see whether the overdying yields something even better!

[Giles]

Good question.  I had forgotten all about it.  Have mailed H

[Giles]

@footandmaff The first overdye experiment resulted in the jacket shrinking 2 whole sizes.  We are trying another process…..

[jock1624]

Make the jackets two sizes bigger …..crazy idea I know .

[Giles]

We can't.  We're trying to sort out some normal 2526J that were fucked up…...

Sounds like a win for small folks…

So, as not many have washed their Cotton Duck Type IIIs - we can expect at least 1 size shrinkage if we really hot wash our non-overdyed ones? I feel like my XXL would be perfect if it shrank just a bit.

That might not actually be so bad for me as I often struggle with IH sizing for tops. Any idea on how small we're talking?

To complicate matters there's the new indigo/indigo type III, decisions, decisions. Have you got an ETA?

I got minimal shrinkage as the product pages suggests, but go head and try, you won't wreck it…

It's academic, as we're not going to use this process, I can't afford to end up with a load of what are effectively XXXS,  XXS and XS…..
