@neph93:

Did you go XXL? @Cutlasshound ?

XXXL old chap. But I wanted it to be a bit bigger. Seriously a fucking great jacket.

Ok… how the actual fuck has this ended up in the Outlet? I'm the proud owner of five other IH jackets in assorted materials, all of which I love, but this one may actually be the best. The denim is really special, soft but with a nice heft to it and it begs the question, why aren't shirts being made out of it? The details are great, from the solid zip to the red pocket lining and the chambray inner lining, it all suggests quality and to be honest luxury. The best bit is the constructional stitching which has a great bronze colour that contrasts beautifully with the dark indigo. If you're thinking about this then stop it. At this price it's a no-brainer.

If this had a two-way zip, I'd be all over it!

I'm too fat for it, the jacket deserves better.

(pssst! what size did you end up with?)

No two way zip. But fekk it, it has chambray lined sleeve gussets and collar! [emoji1417][emoji28]

Tbh, I've been wanting a summer jacket for two years but decided it was a bit of a luxury given the climate where I live. Now I think I need to move somewhere more temperate just to get to use it more [emoji23]

you can always wear it with a vest under or over…. and this is a great jacket...

[sabergirl]

Truthfully, I love everything about the riders' jackets, but the cut hasn't ever worked for my womanly figure.  My hips are too wide to be able to have the thing sit right, zipped.  Ditto for the majority of type IIIs, but with those, leaving the bottom button open is an acceptable work-around.

[rocket]

fully understandable, a shortish body length might be the key to make it fit right when closed. Or a two way zip

After the G-man 60th bday celebration shirt, I'm def gonna prioritize getting my hands on one of these bad boys.

[neph93]

You should, it's a beauty. Normally I welcome autumn, but I'm not looking forward to packing mine away until spring…

[deadendpro]

So i tried on the lined riders jacket at SESF this past week and it was the 42(XL) and it fit great. From the looks of it, it seems like that means a XXL in this jacket is going to get me right.

@Giles are there any substantial differences in fit between these two jackets that I might not be aware of?

[Giles]

As you surmised, the lined one came a size smaller than the unlined versions…...That's about it.....

[deadendpro]

Awesome sauce G-man! I'm very excited.  let's do this thang!

[neph93]

In case anymore intel on sizing is needed, I took this in XL (my standard IH UHF/shirt size) and it fits as it should over a tee.

Cross post of mine after having the sleeves shortened…..

Hot soaked once to get some shrinkage out of it.

I just stumbled upon this post because I really wanted this jacket in 13oz but it's no longer available… I've found a used one on sale and I was thinking about buying it but as far as I can tell, there is no inside pocket which is a bummer because I love my inside pockets for my phone... Dang it.

Thanks @neph93 for Super fast shipping

Now I need to decide whether to chop the arms or not. I like the light weight and fit, but the sleeves are way too long.
