      My issue with IH denim jackets is that they are a bit snug overall. If I wear a XXXl shirt that’s 25 PTP how do I  fit into a xxx or xxxxl that has a smaller PTP of 23-24 and a waist that’s proportionally smaller than the shirt I’m
      Supposed to wear it over? I only bring this up because @maxpower talked about the opening of his jacket being snug

      As someone still without a denim jacket and typically sized XXL/XXXL, this is something I've spent time trying to make sense of while waiting for the Storm Rider… and I still don't know.

        Fair point. My SExIH type III is a size 42 and the fit is good except the sleeves are billowy. I can wear a Uhf underneath but I do keep the bottom button undone. I could probably wear a size size 40 if I was only gonna wear a tee, but I tend to layer more often than not with any jacket.

          Starting to see hints of electric blues showing through. This jacket is comfortable now and molded to my torso. Loving it.

            Looks good, in fact it looks really good. I would love to own one of these some day but unfortunately my closet only has room for the Stormrider.

              Thanks, dude.

              Has the Stormrider version been confirmed or is it still up in the air?

                I think the Storm Rider may be up in the air,as in on it’s way from Japan. I know someone recently asked Giles and he said something to the effect of it being close to being on the way. But it’s definitely happening.

                  … it’s definitely happening.

                  That's fantastic news…might be a good idea to grab an oversized one to layer.

                        So I'm thinking about giving mine a wash, the armpits are starting to smell of b.o./deodarant.

                        Will the 18oz fabric stretch back out? It has definitely out stretched over the past few months to fit me better, but I'm worried about shrinkage…advice? Is there a way to remove armpit smell without washing? I wouldn't mind keeping the darkness of the denim at bay to achieve higher contrast fades.

                          Definitely cold water and air dry. I like using Woolite Dark for my IH gear. No reason to believe it won’t stretch back out again.

                              If it isn’t too late then while drying you should use all your might and stretch the seams And back vertically. I’m thinking arms, side seams, front placket (button it up first) and from the middle of the collar to the middle of the hem of the opening, at the back.

                                K will do also.

                                  Still quite damp this morning. I pulled and tugged the jacket while standing on it. It has a lot of stretch, I could really feel the denim give when I tugged. I tried it on and was able to button it easily and the length is about where it was before. Now it's super clean and ready for tomorrow  😉

                                      I'm not sure if the SRs are made of the same 18oz denim, but I guess they'll end up like this at some point…

                                          I don’t think they are the same denim. Yours is the now defunct 18oz, which is the same denim as the IHSH-177 and IHSH-178 (and of course, the original IH-666S) are made from.  The IH-101J-SR is made from the newer 18oz vintage denim.

                                          Bloody great looking jacket regardless.
