IHJ-39 - PrimaLoft™ Gold/Pertex Shield DV Mountain Parka
-
I have now been wearing this jacket every day for the past week and can confirm that this jacket is the business. Feeling mighty confident that this solid piece of clothing will keep the harshest of winters away from my frail body. Now I just need a pair of overalls made in the same fabric and I'll be ready for nuclear winter.
@Giles: I have a vague memory of a camouflaged jacket coming out this/next year. Was that the IHJ-39 supposed to have been available in both black and camo? Not that I would have chosen the camo, just curious.

Thanks for the info Giles.

Self Edge now has these (not on their site) if anyone is interested here stateside give them a call. I was able to get one from SE NY via phone order and they told me all the stores got them (not sure what kind of size run).
-
I told you this thing was hot…....Email from a customer this morning......
"I recently bought the IHJ-39 and really love it! but… it's just too warm for our actual weather in St.Gallen (Switzerland). Well, it definitely get's colder soon. Anyway, thats a good reason for the IHJ-38."

sh!tty image but you know
Nice fit there, SE have them now, very tempting.
Btw, what boots are those? Like them.

I've sent this jacket off to the bitter cold of the Canadian Yukon to get outfitted for a fur parka ruff. Since temps where I live range from 35 to -25 C, I wanted the ruff to be removable and the jacket to remain fully waterproof. Initially I discussed snaps, but we settled on strong magnets for the ruff attachment. I won't have the jacket for a couple of weeks, but I will post pics when I do.
I'm having two ruffs made: Wolverine and Yukon Black Wolf
-
Is this extinct or what? Don't see any sizes in stock. Strong feel of "need".
-
Very extinct.
In fact this is an example of the Huia Louse principle….
There is (was) a species of North American fish that suffered the same fate (courtesy The Park Rangers) - I've forgotten it's name......
Okay, that's what I thought. And I can safely suppose that none of the european retailers have these?
Edit: reading through thread shows that is a nope.
-
I know Self Edge still has them.
Been wanting to get one but I know I wouldn't get to wear it that much down here…Yeas, seems to be the only place. No problem though!

Update - here's my IHJ-39 with the white wolf ruff that I'm going with. This is top ruff on the left side of the pic. Originally I wanted the black wolf ruff bottom ruff of the four, but with the long black guard hairs it was (more) massive on the coat. It is almost comically high with the hood up. The first prototype used some small magnets and the vendor has ordered larger magnets for the final product. I'll keep in mind Sabergirl's alert about magnet sensitivities when the coat gets into my hands.

I have been wearing this all day in a pretty cold post-snowstorm New York, with one of those IH-somethingthatsahoody things underneath. My god seriously warm combo. This jacket is indeed a total beast.
