      It's our take on a 1946, like the IHxVS-T1-DD is our take on a Type I.  We try to make them useable today, not be a total slave to repro.

      18oz stretches, but then all denim does.

          I'm so tempted by this jacket, but holding off until I see some fit pics from those who've bought it

            here's mine.

            to me this jacket is very different from a type 3 FH jacket i owned. the sleeves and cut was much fuller and i've found the sleeves length a little long for my linking. however the details are really nice, and i probably could see myself adjusting to it. mine's a size 36/S. perhaps i should've gone for the 34/XS, but the p2p was the same as the flathead i measured, so i stuck with these.

              Louis…looks great...just needs breaking in a bit....love the look of the jacket. I really like the ric rac stitch down the front placket.

                yeah the zigzig stitching, the buttons and the selvage line. fantastic details. though i must say, i would love additional selvage line across the sleeve, visible when you cuff. and i reckon it definitely needs breaking in, these are very stiff. havent worn a new denim jacket in awhile, so these brought me back to square one.

                  Wow!!! This is great, I love this 18 OZ, what is this size? Also like to see back side length picture 🙂 Enjoy!!!

                          No problem. It's a nice jacket, heavy, soft, and no struggles with the buttons.

                              Here are the pre and post measurements of the sample 101J i've been wearing for a while….it's an XL.

                              It's just had it's first wash since the initial soak so i'll grab some more measurements and photos and add them soon.

                              Thanks a lot, that will be interesting and helpful!!! BTW do you find this tapering a lot, I am not that flat belly 😞

                                It does taper but it doesn't bother me, despite my beer belly, as I rarely button it up.

                                    It'll be very interesting to see how the buttons age on it.
