IHJ-29 - Brown Duck "First Zip"

[Giles]

Now live…

[Broark]

How warm would you say that this jacket is?
I've got a couple Iron Heart jackets, being the SExIH overdyed type III and the IHJ-14 so I'm curious where it would fall.
Need something a little more lightweight that will contrast against denim!

Hey Giles, in the pics are you wearing a L or XL? I'm a S in the Lefty trucker, do you think a S would work? I'd like to be able to fit a sweatshirt under it.

Cooler than either of those….

"Model (Giles) wears an XL"

I think S for you…...

[superfuzz]

Thanks G, I think a M would be too big.

[Giles]

Me too….

[Segovia]

XL in heavyweight flannels -> XXL for this? Sound right?

[Giles]

yes

Damn, such a good looking jacket!

So the chest on the large looks great but the shoulder measurements look wide. I usually look for ~18" in a shoulder, will a large give me 80's shoulders?

[Giles]

I don;t think it will, but can'y be sure, we measure jackets with action pleats to the outer of the 2 shoulder seams and that tends to "float" a little.

[superfuzz]

The shoulders look fine on the fit pics of Giles. So I'd assume that you'll be okay @Anesthetist

[rocket]

looks great in the fit pics…

I should have mine on Wednesday. It's been a while since I've gotten a blue bag in the mail. I hope the sizing works out.

Edit: I can't tell if UPS is teasing me, but now tracking says I should get the jacket today. We shall see….

[superfuzz]

Just got mine this morning. I went with my usual IH size S, and it fits perfectly. It feels pretty lightweight by IH standards, perfect for spring, with enough room for layering when it gets cooler.

[Broark]

Man, that looks great. I really want this jacket.
Just trying to decide if it's worthwhile right now since we're already back up in the 80's here…

[superfuzz]

Broark, I'd say go for it. Even if you don't wear it much now, you'll get a lot of use out of it in the fall. It's a really simple and classic jacket.

[Broark]

You might be right superfuzz, might pull the trigger in the next couple of days.
A bit undecided on sizing, leaning towards the XXL at the moment.
