Arabit, those are both perfect! It looks great tucked, sometimes I wish I didn't sell mine.

Very helpful sizing info @davito , thank you Sir.
I am usually an M in IH jackets and S in most IH shirts (all in all a Smallish M).
Went with 38 in this one precisely because of the sleeves, as you've mentioned: at 24.75'', it's at the limit for me. I could have pulled off an S in all measurements except the sleeves, so fingers crossed indeed!If I may further ask, did you find actual sleeve length as reported on the product page (23.76'' for S)?
With pleasure Sir @Bluegrass [emoji4]

It is here….
It looked promising in pics but this thing is a frikking masterpiece in the flesh. Both fabrics feel and look spectacular in hand foretelling of great ageing potential, the combined weight is spot on for the cut of the jacket IMO and with a nice/right amount of crispness to it. More importantly it feels like one fabric or layer on either side (no floating to be noticed anywhere - hopefully it'll stay this way)
The patch hand-work as expected is very impressive:
A couple of quick fit pics (raw):
Will be soaking in cold water and for a much shorter time - I can't afford it shrinking much. Hopefully it won't [emoji15]

Thanks gents @hajduk @Peter @Bluegrass
Will take the plunge and soak it tomorrow. I agree, after revisiting the pics, there is clearly room to shrink indeed. Hopefully the sleeves won't be lifted too much though…The sizing table of the site indicates different shrinking patterns from I'd normally expect (Maybe has to do with two fabrics of different weights being joined together?) Will see [emoji52]More pics post soak…...!

Killer jacket Z. I think with a soak or two it will fit like a glove. Great pick up mate

@zatenm welcome to the Party man. Enjoy it much. Sorry havent Seen your follow up question re sleeves. I don't measure my stuff really, as most of it i try on irl. If it fits i am lucky. I wear mf since several years and all i have always fitted me just like i Love. Your jacket looks good have fun with it, i enjoy wearing both sides but the camo is killer big time. Be nice Sir, i would say go with mf soaking advice and take it from there if needed. I will not soak mine for a while til fabrics have molded in a bit.

Thanks for the helpful feedback Sir @davito
Will do exactly that (be nice - it's a 'party' after all [emoji4])
I see what you mean regarding mf sizing, your fit is seriously spot on [emoji106][emoji106] I'd lucky to get anything close…!
Will give it a go and see what I get.... -
@superfuzz Thx bro, this jacket and history/messages behind it only works with the patches imho Sir. Am sure you would pull it off too man
-
^ Denim side was just a trial run - camo is where the party at, absolutely @ davito @ Chiba J. @Snowy
More than that, the patches encapsulate the spirit of the age IMO - I bought the jacket for the statement they make, not just the aesthetic quality of the jacket. I feel like Ron Kovic wearing it…....Soaked it and turned it over, this is how it looks like now just over a T (not a particularly good colour match, just happened to be wearing it)
I like it! [emoji4]
