IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown

[Babytooth]

Thoughts on the fit of my jacket? I like wearing this style more fitted/as a 'shirt'. I don't anticipate wearing much under it, just a t-shirt is fine with me and my climate… I see a lot of folks here layering with a button-up, but I think that my jacket is a little too fitted for layering. My fit seems to match the way that IH styles their Type III's on their site. I'm probably overthinking this, but any feedback? It's a 40, I'll likely pick up a 42 of another color way at some point, but I found the 42's sleeves to be a little longer than I like/am used to on a Type III.

Thanks @den1mhead !

@Babytooth  that looks exactly like it should imho. Well done.

I agree, looks good!

If you're in a warm climate, you probably won't need to layer. I have a couple of jackets for layering but most of mine are for use over a t-shirt.

Thank you for the feedback @neph93 @Paul9221 !

@Babytooth How's the chest feel? Any room for a UHF? I usually test this out by opening my arms out like I'm giving out a hug and see how much give it has.
Personally, I usually only wear mine with a tee. Length looks great and the arms will have a gradual though minimal shortening as you wear it.

@J-IV I just tried it with my ultra heavy flannel underneath and was surprised at how comfortable it was. The length of the flannel past the jacket is a little irritating but I don't know how other people feel about that, seems pretty common with Type III jackets for the length of a shirt to be visible past the hem. Hugging myself and spreading my arms is not uncomfortable at all. Thanks for the tip!

@Babytooth Sounds like a spot-on fit then!

I feel you on the length issue. From my understanding, the jackets were designed to rest around or near the waistband of your pants. I try to keep my jacket open if I'm rocking a flannel underneath.

[Paul9221]

Length issue also bugs me. To the point that I would purchase a longer version of this if it dropped.  I think it's the shortest of the modified type III jackets.

But it looks amazing over a T.

Picked this up during a Memorial Day sale. I sized up to a medium so I could layer it with my IH shirts. It’s slightly oversized and long in the arms (due to my height) but I’m very happy with it.

Question, fellas. Layered with a shirt or hoodie, would this be suitable for UK winter weather? 5C or so?

I would say not. The duck is tough and rugged but this isn’t a warm jacket.

Cheers. So shoulder season and cool summer days with t shirt.

Yeah… autumn and spring with a hoody.

Thanks man. Food for thought. Looking at my closet….. Lol.

If it helps I found this jacket a more forgiving fit than its denim counterparts. It comes up shorter and slightly wider, meaning it can fit layers under, but not look bulky when worn just with a tee. It also goes with everything.
