IH-101J - 1946 101J Riders Jacket

[No.88]

I've noticed that both louisbosco & Sam/IH jackets have the zig-zag stitching on the button-hole side of the placket.

Yet Winchy's has the zig-zag stitching on both the button & button-hole plackets.

Any reason for this? Ta.

Well spotted. I guess Haraki could not stop himself tweaking…..

I like the brass instead of plastic on the back buttons.

Nice fit on the new pics, Sam!

Cheers @den213

Here's a bit of evo Giles spotted on @Winchy 101J that he wanted me to shoot.

Totally spontaneous purchase my girl talked me into. I'm super exhausted from looking for wedding venues and so the pictures came out pretty bad - the fit is better in reality and I guess will improve when the denim breaks in and the sleeves don't appear as wide. It's a 42 btw.

Great choice mate (the lady and the jacket)!

Wore this the other day and thought that the thread is criminally short of pics. Shall have to post some too!

Definitely. I'd like my wife to talk me into that jacket!

[Max Power]

Thank you. I'll try to post pics when the fit has improved.

@louisbosco How does yours look right now? Did you wash it an encounter further shrinkage?

[louisbosco]

@Max Power i have not washed them so far. only time i managed to wear them was in japan in winter. currently summer in australia now so not much chances to wear them. good buy for you, mine hasn't really settled in yet..

[Max Power]

I'm thinking about sizing up to XXL in this…XL feels perfectly fitted, but the waist is super snug. Then I don't really wear the jacket closed, I just feel like it should fit if I want to close it.

XXL would be a hair bigger than my (perfect) IHxVS, XL is a tad smaller. Too bad  :-\

[Dion]

I think there is still some shrinkage left in the 18 oz, so you can shrink the XXL if needed.

[Max Power]

Shrinkage would be the last I want in my XL, so I'll have a look at the XXL. I just hope somebody has interest in my barely worn XL then.
