        @Dishelveled:

        Loving the corduroy details, and the fits looking strong on both Sam and Alex.

        The product page reads, "Japanese 'Ventile' lining, but later on says, "Quilted satin body and sleeve linings".  So I'm wondering if the Ventile lining is sewn internally, like with their deck jacket's wind proof layer?

        Interested to check out the water repellent finish too.

        Really stoked on this!

        Apologies, I think the Ventile reference was a hangover from the IHM-08 that none of us picked up (somehow) yesterday. Trying to do too much in a short afternoon.
        The lining is the quilt, as you can see - sorry again for the confusion.

          Very strong fit @Sam - These look great. Especially with the green buffalo. Awesome Piece!

            Thanks for getting back to me Alex, and completely understandable.
            Also really appreciated having both yours and Sam's fit pics to help nail down the sizing, cause relying only on the measurements would have been rough.

                @Sam the M in this seems to have the same chest measurements as most IH shirts (my usual size in shirts).
                Would M be the right size for me in this?
                I understand sizing can be a bit tricky. Any help would be highly appreciated…

                  Sorry @Jordan23 , I not in the country so can't advise. I would guess similar, but I have messaged Alex…..

                      ^ I too am excited about this information… I imagine them to be warmer. If they are, I may be experiencing IH related financial discomfort in the near future [emoji43]

                        At least as warm, I would say. I only wore one for a few minutes, but as I said I was comfortably warm with this unzipped over a T in 3degC weather

                          These came up short didn't they? Compared to previous iterations a size M reads 4 inches shorter  ??? Maybe a typo?

                            I'd be surprised if it were a typo given they increase as you would expect through the sizes, but I cannot confim until tomorrow. We can also measure @Winchy's M65 to compare.

                            I would disagree that they come up short, though, as the pictures show.

                              The measurements are throwing me off too, but the fit pictures provide the proof that they are not as short nor tight as the measurements indicate.

                              Sam is wearing an IHSH-127 underneath the ihw-13 and the shirt tail is barely exposed (flannel's original length of 28.7"–even with potential shrinkage this gives a viable comparison)

                              Based on the shoulder, chest and opening measurents I would have gone with a Large-my uhf size, but based on the fit pics I begrudgingly ordered a Medium.  I will report back by Weds when it lands.

                                ^ Agreed. It’s the same gig as with the deck jackets. All measurements scream «go with your shirt size» but in reality most people should size down one.

                                Excited to see the results @Dishelveled

                                  How would that work @neph93 ?
                                  My IH shirt size is 21.6” in the chest, same as this piece which should be a top layer. I’m not even true to size is roomy enough..
                                  Properly confused by the sizing on this one ☹️
                                  @Sam ?

                                    I don’t claim to understand it, but I suspect it’s a result of the dimensions inbetween the normal measurements being different. Armholes on jackets are larger than armholes in shirts so the P2P measurement on jackets is taken at a place where the body is actually slimmer. @Cole is a nailed on XL in UHF’s and a nailed in L in deck jackets (which he wears over his UHF’s).

                                          Doesn’t this have pleats on the back like the other m65 and the riders jackets?

                                          If it has pleats then that accounts for the deceiving measurements. If no pleats than it’s more iron heart magic.
