How does the tag size correlate to the size chart?  Is a tagged 36 an XS and then goes from there 38 S, 40 M, etc?

Exactly like that, yes.

@neph93 with the super quick reply; much thx

Just copped.  Should fill a nice non-leather/wool, non-indigo type X jacket.  Thanks again @neph93

My pleasure. As a matter of interest, where did you find one? I used to have one of these and they are really nice jackets. IH duck is a beautiful fabric and really lends itself to the type II design.

Got it off of Grailed.  Guy selling it said he really liked it but rarely wore it due to being too small.  Wasn't necessarily in the market, but couldn't resist the more I thought about it.

Good score! Let us know what you think.

Update on my Grailed IHJ-32: I would say quite a success and I'm very happy!  As I said above, this should fill a good hole (which I didn't know existed until I saw this coat lol) in my jacket collection.  Arm cuff openings are a tad on the larger side, but I can get around that.  I do like the smaller waist opening tho, as I always keep the bottom button undone, even if I have the other done.  Condition is great; as you can see from pics there was some honey combing on the arms.  I cold washed/medium heat dryed this since it was preowned and I think that gave some of the stress points (see pocket pic) a tab more of a "fade".  Not sure how long the previous owner had it but they didn't wear it out by any means, it's aged great and has loads more life (of course).  Cheers!
