There's a movie that just came out called Good on Paper,and there's a scene where I thought this jacket was being worn,but it was quick and I wasn't sure that it wasn't a Lee jacket. If the movie was great I might've suggested watching it,but it's OK,unless you also happen to be a fan of the comedienne who stars in it.

Ah man, if it weren't for just having got the 18oz CPO and the impending slub type ii I'd be all over this - epic looking jacket!

No 4xl available on this jacket? The measuring chart has a 4xl listed but i dont see it when trying to purchase

If only these had hand pockets.
Really beautiful, nevertheless!

Hi, first time post here.
I bought this jacket a few months ago and I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience with the fit. I'm 5 9, 155 lbs 30 waist. I bought a medium (38) and the jacket fits me great in the chest/shoulders/length/waist, enough to wear a small layer under if I want. However, the forearms and elbows of the sleeves are tighter than any jacket I've worn. Bending the arms or holding them forward squeezes the hell out of my forearms and inside elbow. Painful! I've even got the arms wet and wore it to stretch them but that didn't really work. Probably worn the jacket about a dozen times. I looked at the size chart and realized this jacket is at least .2in smaller in the sleeve measurement than any other jacket on the site. I have the 21oz vest that I wear almost everyday in a 38 also which obviously doesn't have the sleeve problem lol.. I don't have huge arms or wrists.Any thoughts? Do the sleeves stretch? Maybe I'm posting this is the wrong spot.
Thanks! -Joe -

Thanks! -JoeThe sleeves will loosen with wear as Alex says. The 18oz vintage denim does have some flex to it.
Slim arms of IH jackets of this type are not unusual. The idea is that they reduce wind resistance when riding.
I would consider soaking for half an hour in soapy water. Wearing for a while then rinsing. Soap/detergent will lubrication the fabric.
If you have access to the right materials then shoving a bit of piping in the armhole while wet, then letting them dry, would work. It would have the be just the right diameter though, so maybe a bit of a stretch (no pun intended).
Otherwise, embrace your inner masochist and just wear it. They’ll loosen up eventually.
