      SE wanted a zipper that zipped US style (puller on RHS) not Japanese style (puller on LHS).  Maybe Waldes don't make a zipper with the puller on the right hand side.

        Re: The new brown version.  I made no comment in my order, so I guess they'll be as per the IHJ-35.

          I'm looking forward to the brown version, been pinching pennies as much as I can lately.
          Can't wait for the sample.

            Arrived late today so only got to try it on at home. A beautiful jacket and the fit is excellent given the style with the minor exception that the sleeves could be 0.5-1 inch shorter. The flannel lining is the perfect weight - hope to see the same in the brown version also.

            Perhaps I missed it but I never read what the leather thickness is on these jackets - can someone confirm? It feels comparable to approximately 2.5-3oz.

              Will once you have worn it for a week or 2

              Won't happen.  I'm afraid H and I prefer a twill lining in this type of jacket

              You did not miss it because we have never said what it is because we don't know…..What I do know is that H selected it to do a job (he would have selected by feel not a spec sheet) and do it well, that's good enough for me....

                Copy that Giles, thank you for the responses. I must say I really appreciate your level of engagement on the forum!

                I also wish I had found IH sooner. My wallet may not agree. Perhaps I should get a new oxblood cordovan wallet to put the current one in its place…

                    Only way to teach that wallet who's boss is to let it know it can be replaced.

                        Does this mean the brown version is up in the air or are we still going to see a sample of it?

                                There was indeed a 46 made.  I've just checked with H that we can make a 46 in the brown collared version…Will still have both chest pockets. Flannel lining - possibly......

                                @Giles Do you know if there will be any 46s in Monday's delivery?

                                  IHJ-54 is the model number for the brown version with collar.  There will be 2 size 46 arriving on Monday….
