IHJ-37 - Blanket Lined Chino Cloth Tanker Jacket

[Finkster]

Wow .. the black Tanker is awesome!

Blessedly, I have already this jacket from 2014 in khaki + the black Deck Jacket.
Insofar, I think, I can miss this turn … Phew!

No khaki without print then? Oh well, solves a least one of my #firstworldproblems…

[Giles]

Correct.  I can get Khaki with print, but not khaki without…

I can't believe there are not 100 pics in here. Awesome jacket and perfect "winter" coat for me in the southern states.

Cheers,

Looks good. I really like the color contrast of the black/brown.

[Appfaff]

I agree @veloaudio

The color is great and makes it match with just about anything.

I love the looks of MA-1 jackets but the "puffy" sleeves and "tech" look has always kept me from getting one.  This jacket is the perfect blend of classic styling and modern day upgrades in an "under the radar" package.

Yup. I feel the same about my navy IHJ-25 which is basically the same design (minus the second inside pocket and the 25 has snaps on the placket).

entire fit is good.

Awesome man, how did you size it?  I really need a new jacket.

[Appfaff]

@madmonday - thanks dude!

@johnny5799 - i went TTS with my recent UHF size (XXL). I have the Blanket Lined Rider jacket so I kinda had a feeling how to size with the lining. The jacket is a slimmer cut, but fits like a dream. I could have handled one size up, but the sleeves would have been too long.  This morning was crazy cold so I had a thick long sleeve under a crew neck sweatshirt under my IHSH-100 under the IHJ-37 and was very comfy and mobile. The bi-wing shoulders help a ton.

I think you could probably get a Large, but it might be a bit short, so an XL would even work and would be great over an UHF or your Oki CPO

What is the weight of the chino? 7.5oz?

[Giles]

No, I would guess more like 10-12

[Appfaff]

For anyone wondering how to make this jacket even better / more wind proof / warm - just throw the 9526V underneath with the collar up - works perfectly over a crew neck sweat this AM in our 29 degree-humid-and-bone-chilling- weather

Not a bad idea…will keep it in mind.

[Appfaff]

Since I have worn this pretty much everyday since getting it, I figured the cuffs/collar/lining deserved to be cleaned. Soaking now in cold water with dr brommers.  Will post results after it dries for those interested.

I am surprised there isn't more posts about this jacket. Wish I got the right size first….beautiful jacket! If it only came in Olive

[Appfaff]

The perfect fall jacket quickly becomes the perfect spring jacket. Warm enough for cool mornings, but not hot enough that you start sweating once the sun comes up.

Btw - I cold soaked mine, hung it to dry and smoothed it out with a warm iron. No noticeable shrinkage, but there was a little fabric puckering around the seems if the bi-swing shoulders.
