Non IH jackets and outerwear

And that perspective is why I enjoy your posts.
If you do pick up one at a reasonable price, I hope you'll share your impressions.
Honestly couldn't have said it better myself!

I have been searching for the perfect winter/fall jacket that I can easily take on the bike and also wear somewhat "dressed" up. Tall order IMO. I had the IHM-10, beautiful jacket, just not exactly a perfect fit for me. Tried the IHJ-37, fit great, but not perfect. So I have been debating dropping more serious coin on another attempt, and I did….
Schott Tanker, I think this one will stay with me...I got Schott to send me size chart for the jacket, M or L could work, went with a large due to the 24oz wool inside so I could still layer if need be. Chest is 24 1/4", length 25 1/2"(only slight worry, but we shall see), shoulder 19 1/2", sleeve 27 1/4"
I should have her in by Friday, can't wait!
Pretty sure he is rocking an IH shirt/jacket

@Finkster I just meant the bottom two photos. Top one is a dif guy, just great photo.
Mail says Thursday. If I love it, like always, tons of bragging….i mean fit pics

Shirt is 3 sixteen. SOP Ben never strays from the brands he carries at his shop. Excited to hear your thoughts on the jacket when it comes.

denim jacket looks like Rogue Territory to me & the shirt looks like 3sixteen
Snake Oil Provisions dudes are crazy cool & that Ben cat is super chill & helpful (they have the most beautiful cardigan on offer from Stevenson at the moment)
good pickup, hope it works for you

The fit is stellar. Wish it was 2" longer. The left field miner pants I have on in photo i can elwear high enough to go with the style. My 634s not sure yet. Wish the armpit was closer to my armpit for better movement. Only pulls back when I reach real good. So I am def happy. Beautiful fabric and quality.

@Finkster the sleeves were a little up. I assure you this fits beautifully. Good room in chest, arms are perfectly fitted, I am now hiking up the pants more than EVER in my life….all is good! LOVE this jacket! Finally have a army inspired jacket.
Here is the proof

nice reynolds vulcs.

@Jordonf9 jacket is great but the fit looks weird paired with the jeans & tucked tee.
unrelated to this thread, I think your jeans are great, but might be too big for you or maybe not the right fit with the tanker. I don't know, just trying to be honest with out being an a$$hole

Thanks @Appfaff and @Finkster . I have always had a soft heart for Andrew Reynolds shoes…been a while since I bought any footwear. But seeing how my Vans MTE are on their way out...and I can't get them
The Emericas are a good replacement You are sir....an ass @madmonday haha, jk. To each their own. I personally love it.
Of course I would love to have 2 inches in body length, but that ain't happening. While there are some gorgeous military and army jackets out there, I can't find another jacket like this.
I like the tucked shirt or sweater when I wear the jacket. I hate to see lots of material under a jacket and this jacket is the shortest one I ever rocked. All I got is my 634 SR, 634 SB, 634 LB and my Olive duck miners. I will soon have a nice pair of double indigo greaser jeans though
I love my 634SB. They are perfect fit for the movement I typically do and riding the bike isn't restraining in tight jeans.

Took one more plunge…if I don't like it, least I can return for free/full refund.
But I think I will fall in love with it once it gets here next week
Plus I finally get a 7oz martexin jacket!

Picked up the Triple Aught Design Raptor Hoodie (New fit for 2017) and I'm really not sure how I feel about it. I will come out and say that the customer service at TAD is pretty poor. (It's 2017; find someone to answer your emails.) International shipping is steep, as well. Also, the policy that you can't make an exchange and can only return, be refunded and then re-purchase the jacket is curious. Normally, when an international buyer wants to make an exchange, you can request that the seller highlight this on the customs paperwork once they ship out the exchanged item and, if you've already paid duties on the original purchase, you won't be dinged again. Unfortunately, as per the TAD policy, it appears you'll have to pay duties on both shipments and then go about reclaiming the second charge. (A two month process, as per my previous experience with reclaiming duties.)
Anyway, to the jacket. It'll make for a decent beater but, I get the impression you're paying for the fact it's made in Canada. Arm holes are cut too low and the lack of structure through the collar leads the jacket to fly open when undone. Ultimately, once done up, the jacket provides a decent enough fit. I will say this, they nailed the hood design.
Edit: Sleeves are probably a bit short, as well.
Here's a few fit pics (I'm 5'10" 175 lbs and this is a size Medium)
