@SKT @cityofdelusion here you go…
No apologies for the vest obscuring the jacket. This was made to be layered with imho…
(And yes, I know I look like Billy Corgan in this photo…
)EDIT: One more, less Billy Corgan…

@neph93 looking very nice with the denim vest. I’m still trying to figure out whether to go with a medium or large. I could feasibly do the medium, but it may be a bit short. Large would definitely work but be tad roomy. I waffle back and forth.
@Giles Love that you wear it so much and find it versatile. Is that wear pattern from a watch?

I take XL in UHF’s and tend towards L in most IH jackets (N-1’s, M65’s etc). I took this in XL and I’m glad I did. L would have been too small over anything other than a tee (and maybe then too short in the arm and body). I could get a UHF under the XL but I’d feel a bit stuffed.

Any chance of you posting a fit pic and let me know your height and weight? I have to order online and would hate to have to pay all that money for return costs? Thanks in advance. I take XL in my UHF Flannels too in work shirts and XXL in Westerns and am 6 foot 195lbs.

I rarely wear it without a vest so the ones a few posts up are as good as I can do. Here are a couple more in the same vein.
I’m about the same height as you and a little heavier.

Looks class @neph93

Great jacket Rueben. XL was the right size for sure. You aren’t swimming but it looks like plenty of room to layer, even if it gets snug.

@goosehd @jordanscollected @Lewis Thank you gents…
@neph93 Safety vests due to low light conditions? …it’s a pretty good idea for keeping them visible.
Correct. From October the mornings are quite dark so we start already then. Obviously the sun is barely visible now so poor light is the only light we get. Soon it will be dark all the time. Most adults wear hi vis gear too at this time of year.
The attitude to public safety in the traffic is the reverse of the UK and, I suspect, the USA. Everyone has a responsibilty and the quicker and bigger you are in traffic the more responsibilty you have.

So, i have ridden around 2500km on the bike with this jacket and i am still happy with it.
My regular layering system is: merino T-shirt, cashmere jumper, IHJ-79-BLK, leather jacket.Down to 8C it keeps me warm up to motorway speeds (140km/h) for long stretches of time.
Below 8C i cannot sustain motorway speeds for more than an hour before i start to get cold.
At slower speeds (say 50 to 90km/h) i can go as low as 3C and still feel nice and toasty for hours at a time.All in all i am really satisfied, only thing i would change is the A shape to a more V shape, but that's a problem i have with all IH tops.
I still don't think i could justify paying this much for a casual jacket to walk around in, but on the bike it has a bunch of nice features that really work well.
Highly recommended if you ride in the cold.
