Great choice of jacket mate!
Cut never quite worked on me and was truly gutted it did not! A seriously underrated beast!!!!

…....either I get a size that's too tight around the chest or I size up and the sleeves are too long. At least with the IHJ-24 I could cuff the sleeves tighter, so I went with it.
I could also roll up the cuffs...I'll try to roll the cuff inside.
This was very helpful. Thanks @BULLITT BEE
Do you still wear it?

My first wash.
Dry Phase
Definitely no tumble dryer!
Taking fit pics is like diving in a bathysphere for me.
For that reason, this pic is more like a homage to a good old friend ;).
IHJ-24 Jacket from @neph93
Bandana from @Chris in my pocket
IH T, 634od, Banglu, pin
Brüting used as skate shoes.
My back pack is not seen: Patagonia Black Hole 25But the focus is on the board - Wefunk Cologne.
Bought in 1992 as a hand built deck from a long time friend I started skating with in 1983.
It has still a tremendous rebound in the flex, so it is still used a city cruiser, built with Gunmetal axes and Tunnel wheels.History:
I was hooked by the story of 'Sims' 1980 and my first admired skater was Lester Kasai!
My friend bought his deck and an intensive friendship over the decades started.
When he opened his own business with Wefunk ( they only make snow skates nowadays), I bought the fourth deck he built.
We are both skating till today! -
Now the focus on the jacket back again 8).
This picture of @BULLITT BEE convinced me, that this beautiful IHJ has wonderful seams….
I tuck the end of the arms inside, at the moment.

Curious how often strangers over here, react to this Button @steelworker

My local tailor, Mr Boateng from Ghana has done a 3 minute repair on my IHJ-24!
(Lose Zipper on the bottom. Missing a double action Zipper here.)We had a 30 minute chat about this jacket (he definitely liked) and about IH.
“Thick thick and well well made!” - His essential sentence in the end.In between Mr. Boateng had his favorite Internet Music Channel on and there was beautiful live music from Africa on Air!!!!!
The best 30IH minutes of my day.

Thanks @Flannel
In the end he modified the presser foot of the sewing machine and changed to a thicker thread.
Sewing the two stop seams took only seconds.
Not a big job.
But his elaborate gesture, taking down the jacket from the machine and cutting the thread with his other hand (leaving 12 inch on the jacket), could lead the trained eye to imagine, someone had fun this day. -
Bought this from @neph93 , because I Love this IH17oz Indigo Selvedge Denim …(can you here me Ben?) ……………,,.,,……………..,……………….,..,,,,,,,……….,,……. and First Zips!
IH has done some beautiful First Zips in other fabrics like Duck (I unlucky don’t own)….. but this unusual 17oz Denim is absolutely beatiful.
Shure @Ben is an expert in here!Definitely not an expert
Looks a cool jacket though, great pockets!
