IH-6526J Extra Heavy Corduroy Type III Jacket

@Dstauffer:

Not a huge vest guy (I’ve been know to wear in dressier occasions), but I’d definitely cop a corduroy vest.

What’s about more of a western waistcoat style?

Sure! I don’t distinguish between the two. I like them all.

Not a big cord fan but the upcoming jacket is simply gorgeous! Excited for the other colours.

I'm already anxious about which color I'm gonna choose.

Is that pic the khaki?  Any rough indication of date?

[Dstauffer]

I believe that is the khaki, from H's blog this appears to be a S/S 2018 release, so sometime S/S next year…

Thanks, @Dstauffer.  Shame it's so far away.

[Dstauffer]

but closer now than its ever been.

…so grateful they are being made again 

And in the modified format

My wife says she wants one!  It's the first item that she said get me one.  I'm worried about the sizing and was wondering if any of you have bought one for your significant other or yourself (women's).  Any tips or tricks for measuring to get the right fit?

I appreciate any help!!!

@goosehd Honestly mate, that may be a bit tricky at this time.

These have been out of production for quite awhile, and I don't see too many of them floating around which leads me to believe not many forum members have time. I do see one here and there, but they are definitely few and far between. My wife has a small in this particular model and it fits her pretty well, but that is based on her measurements and compared to the measurements for the 6526J here.

As far as the new one that may be released, there are no posted measurements, making it difficult to gauge what size will work for who. You can try to start getting an idea of what size she might by looking at the measurements for the the 6526J, but keep in mind newer model will be IHs "modified type III" which will likely have a longer body length. Furthermore, there are likely to be size variances due to this jacket being a new run, which is fairly typical given these are made by humans.

At this point, the best bet would be to measure a similar jacket she has that fits her well and wait till the measurements for the new jacket get posted, which will likely be next year sometime. You can then compare her measurements with the new ones. If she seems to be in-between sizes, buy both. Keep the one that fits her best and return the other. That's what I've found works best.
