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

Me neither, but thought this was was modified from traditional for a longer cut–maybe just the addition of side pockets?
Modified only means one inch of extra length (and pockets), as far as I know. Vintage trucker jackets in my size, usually a M or 38, almost always have a length between 21 and 23 inches. Iron Heart’s type IIIs seem pretty true to this. Adding one inch to that type of cut ain’t much. What I think of as short modern jackets in my wardrobe typically have a length of about 25”.

It'll be interesting to compare the length of the ihj-69 to my SExIH od modified type III, which I think is actually 1.5" longer than a standard type III. I just know that my SExIH type III sits below my belt which is how I prefer it.

This is a selling point for me, too many jackets just do not have space for a mobile phone, something most of us carry most of the time.
Most external pockets are too short so that it falls out when you bend down, happens a lot with my UHF's.
Please feel free to move to random rants

If they all turn up on time today, they will go live at 16:00 Wednesday (exactly the time I will be boarding a plane, so I'll miss the carnage). We will send an update email to everyone who completed the tell me when in stock form

Ouch. I'll be on a coastal walk in France at 16:00 GMT tomorrow, so will have to try to be near a signal with a charged phone.
