IHJ-96-OLV - 10.5oz Chino Tanker Jacket - Olive

@lenkan:

I read on the thread for IHJ-96-KHA that they would get some extra pieces in so I just thought I'd check here too.

It is such a nice jacket so I've been trying to convince myself that it works

That happens now and again. In fact I still have some pieces that I feel the same about after many years 

If there are any available, then I'm sure IHUK will bring them over from Japan, and I'm sure one of the guys would have answered you here too. But If you message the shop sooner rather than later, then they will better be able to organise an exchange, if indeed there will be some XL's available.

@lenkan we have ordered some, but have not been told if the Japanese can spare any for us. If you have already emailed us, one of the guys will follow up with you there. If you have not, please can you then one of the guys will follow up with you.

@Jordan23:

Is there a restock planed in near future?

No, we sold out faster than expected. We will try to grab some more from Japan but no guarantees

Aaaaand copped! Thx to IH UK for making this possible.

Well done that man. Great jacket, and will suit you well I think.

Any chance you can source one more in size L from Japan? Totaly missed this.

Yes, but all the Japanese ones have the chenille patch, and if you remove it, stitching scars will remain…..

[Jordan23]

Deleted!

It’s an absolute beauty and give every outfit that military touch.

Enjoy ya addiction!

Damn, are they very visible?

@Jordan23 Did yours come with the patch and if yes, did you remove it?

[Giles]

Don't know, have not risked taking one off…..

**Edit.  In fact, we took none with patches on.  We sewed them on if a customer wanted one.  So we have zero experience of the patched ones, just suspicions....

[Jordan23]

[mention]Cole [/mention] no, mine hadn‘t sewn on the patch. I would have removed it as I prefer the cleaner look.

That's my preference as well.

So, what's your suspicion from your experiences in the past?

I guess (as somone with limited knowledge in these matters) chino fabric should be soft und "moveable" enough to close the stitch holes with some "rubbing" and since the jackets are new, there should be no color differences between the fabric under the patch and the rest of the jacket.

[Giles]

My suspicion is that there will be scarring, that is why we have not taken any of the badged versions and debadged them.  There will be no color difference, but there will be scarring.  How much, we just do not know. Will it disappear in time?  Yes.  Would it bother me?  No.  If you want us to get you a badged one we will, but it's on a no return basis…..

[Cole]

Hmmm…I have to think about that. It's an expensive risk to take. 

[Giles]

I agree….
