      I have a long history of trying to get size L IH jackets to fit me and they just don’t. I think you’ll be happier with an XL and sleeves be damned.

        Thanks guys!  I think you're all right… XL probably a bit better fit for me... only 1 XL looks to be remaining in Navy... sent e-mail to the staff already but in case anyone on staff sees this, please hold the Navy XL for me!

          I would just buy it if I were you and send the Large back.

              Just got the XL… I think it fits much better!

              Pic 1 zipped up with the sleeves folded up once...

              Pic 2 open with the sleeves unfolded (very long!)

              Let me know what you guys think but it feels better to me already!

              Also, would somebody be so kind as to educate me as to what measurements are making the L feel tight on me when I lift my arms up?  I'm thinking it's a combination of P2P and Shoulders but for future reference for me it'd be great to know!  That or some general advice like always allow for 1-2" more than your body measurements for jackets/etc…

              Measures below from the kind IH staff!

              L -
              Sh: 19.5
              L: 26.3
              P2P: 22.7
              W: 22.5
              Op: 22.4
              Sl: 25.6

              XL -
              Sh: 20.0
              L: 27.2
              P2P: 23.7
              W: 23.2
              Op: 23.0
              Sl: 26.2

              Thanks!

                @tangfj that looks great!  Perfect fit for that jacket with the XL IMO.

                Regarding the tightness while lifting the arms I think it's a combination of the chest measurements and the lining.  Also, I've notice the sleeve width feels a bit narrow around the biceps and elbow when bending the arms.  Again, nothing that stops me from buying/wearing it but those are just my thoughts.

                  Yes. Much better. Even though the sleeves are long in pic two it still beats the L fit. I wouldn’t let it bother you. Flipping cuffs works great too. Pleased for you.

                    Thanks guys!  Really loving this jacket… definitely the most heavy duty and best constructed "lightweight" jacket I've ever owned.

                      Liked the jacket so much that I bought another one in the khaki color off another member!  Question about this jacket about cleaning… can i throw this in the washing machine and hang dry or would you guys think that it should be dry cleaned?

                        You can machine wash it carefully, rather than dry clean. Don't tumble dry!

                                Totally dissatisfied with yesterday's pic on the indigo waffle shirt thread (out of focus) today I tried another route. I'm now using my phone to trigger the camera's shutter. So here is the result.

                                My whipcord even got a 'nice jacket' comment from my daughter today, and she doesn't hand those out very frequently. It may be the first time she notices something I wear so kudos to IH! That signaled that this beautiful jacket merited a better attempt to photograph it.

                                The journey is the objective.

                                  It is indeed a nice jacket.

                                      Sorry to resurrect the topic, but I’m curious how to clean this jacket. Warm machine wash okay?
