        how heavy is this fabric?
        what's the wool/nylon mix in %?
        any lining (obviously some at the collar)?

          I'm curious about the weight and warmth as well. I'm going between this and the blanket lined denim CPO as a shacket, wondering how they compare in terms of warmth/bulk since I might use for layering.

            This will be way warmer than the blanket lined CPO.

            It is basically a re-run of this:

            Unlined, and I'd guess about 16oz

              It certainly doesn't help.  😃

                I can't help you out with the Melton wool CPO, but the blanket lined denim one is cosy, and a great layering piece, but not super warm. The denim is only a light 8oz. I wear it over a tee as a jacket in 14-18C, less than that I need something over it, but it is very well designed so that this is possible.

                  I have the first iteration of this.  From 2010, I think.  I don’t know if this version is exactly the same but it’s probably similar.

                  Layering is tricky.  Since it’s wool it’s itchy.  If you are at all sensitive to wool you won’t want to wear just a t shirt under it.  Also, the arms are narrow which means it’s difficult to wear a UHF under it.  I have skinny arms and usually wear mine over a light weight flannel.  My IHW-01 is the same size as my shirts.  Obviously, layering will be easier if you size up.

                  It’s warm but there is no loft like in the prima loft products which means it won’t trap lots of air.  If you are looking for maximum insulation I would recommend the prima loft.  But I think this one has a much better style.

                  Wearing a light flannel, the IHW-01 and the IHJ-12 was good for walking around in temperatures around freezing.

                    Is this part of the shipment that is stuck in China, or is this one coming later?

                            I'm guessing there's zero chance of this making it to me in NYC by Saturday even if I order it the moment it goes on sale Thursday, right?

                              It won’t ship until Friday, so probably Monday.

                                Yeah, unfortunately, I know that. I'm leaving for Europe for an extended vacation on Sunday and was really hoping this could be my primary layering piece for the trip. Oh well.

                                    I'm considering this.
