IHJ-69 - 14W Corduroy Modified Type III - Black, Chocolate and Khaki

[Jett129]

Just curious,are these jackets 100% cotton? Saw something on the IH Japan page that said 85% and 15%. Obviously I have absolutely no idea as to what that was referring to.

I believe it’s 15% polyester

Bummer. I remember this was an issue for some people when the blue chord western came out (don’t recall the IHSH number). Then the next iteration was 100% cotton.

Dang. I was gonna go for the brown but that khaki is really compelling.

Guys help me understand what so special about this jacket . Trying to understand does it has thicker heavy material ?

It's just different and looks nice.  That's good enough for me.

Fear my t-shirts and henleys will be poping out underneath–let alone my untucked westerns.  Guess I just need to embrace the look!  If I'm lucky enough to score this beaut, that is...

Looks too short in the body for me.

I’ve never gotten along with type IIIs because they’re such a short jacket.

Me neither, but thought this was was modified from traditional for a longer cut–maybe just the addition of side pockets?

Maybe it’s just the way it happens to fit that particular guy.

I'm kinda with you on this, not particularly a huge fan of corduroy myself but they do look nice.

[Dstauffer]

Yeah, but not everything is for everyone. There have been plenty of pieces that people seemed to be going crazy for that weren’t my thing. Different strokes for different folks…

Agree. Part of the appeal with the ihj-69, for me at least, is that it's a modified type III and the corduroy gives it a retro feel. I also think it compliments denim very well and will be a nice alternative to the denim on denim look
