Looking solid @Alex_24 – length looks perfect!

Mine arrived yesterday. I like it very much, but my wife said with the collar down it looks a bit like some 80s DDR Training jacket.

You say this like it is a bad thing… Sounds fekkin cool to me. Looks great with the colour up too 

EDIT: Just saw @Alex_24 rocking the collar down. Gute Arbeit Kamerad!

I don't mind the collar down. Looks nice as well.

It does have that Training look a bit, though I’m not sure that was just the DDR, or if it was also the 1980’s Bundeswehr look as well [emoji2369][emoji848]

Suits your style. As someone born in Eastern Germany (DDR) I shout out „rock it like it‘s hot“.

the “longer and slimmer” cut (IIRC as mentioned by @Giles in Ironcast episode 1) compared to my otherwise excellent IHSW-11 works great for me (tall, long weedy upper body) - ymmv …

A forum inspired purchase.  Maybe a little big on me or reason to go back to weight lifting after a year off

[neph93]

Are you inviting comment on the fit @Deuce ?

[Deuce]

@neph93 always happy to hear! Arms and chest feel a bit baggy. Also, first piece of IH knitwear (have real mccoys loopwheel)and don’t know if I should expect it to stretch and/or shrink in wash?

From the photo it looks a little long in the body, and a little wide in the shoulders. Not a bad fit, but I feel you may do an M more justice. Arms on IH sweats tend to fit snugly so that may be a sign you should size down. For reference, I take XL in most shirts, and nearly always size down to L on the 14oz Wakayama sweats.

As for shrink and stretch, they won't shrink, but definitely stretch.

Yup, I Needed to hear someone else say what I was thinking. Thanks Neph

This was an excellent impulse purchase.

[neph93]

It is a piece that exudes cool. Nice score @el camino

Caught off guard at the beach.
Would love to see a marl grey version of this in the longer body measurements.
