@neph93:

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.

You'll be pleased to know that in the UK, a revised the Highway Code is imminent that (kinda) addresses this

Any tips on washing one of these? Does the Primaloft require hand wash or is machine wash with hang dry or drier safe?

Chuck it in the washing machine at about 40C.  It needs no babying….

I wore mine on an arctic adventure the other day.

The town’s football team, Bodø Glimt are doing well at the moment, leading the domestic League with two games to go and playing in European competition. Alfred (6), is a huge fan and I took him to his first game.

1700 kick of in -3C and a snow storm. We sat for two hours and watched Glimt win 2-0. I had woolen underwear, Wesco’s, UHR, and the IHJ-79-BLK with an N-1 vest over it. Toasty.

Outstanding Reuben.
You and Alfred both look warm and happy

Will this jacket have a comeback anytime soon?

[Giles]

Soon? Nope.  Possibly next FW…...

That's about "as soon as it gets", considering it is a winter jacket
Thanks, G!

It is finally chilly enough here for a UHF (IHSH 192) and this warm jacket when riding my bike!!! Yay!

it‘s a wonderful jacket

It's been in the high 80's and low 90's F in Nashville this week. Almost had a heat stroke just thinking of wearing mine right now ha. Picked it up last fall, though, and don't think any other single IH piece got more wear the whole season.

I am having a hard time deciding on size and am hoping for some helpful hints. I am usually the same size as Olly when looking for a snug fit, this is also true for the IHJ-75 which I own in a size M. That would point to an L here but based on the measurements, this one probably would work in size M as I am thinking to be using it for layering. What do you think?

[neph93]

I take XL in shirts and L in most IH jackets, including this. Feel like it fits very well and is at that sweet spot where I can layer under or over it.

[vu8iNTGo]

Thank you! For most shirts I am a size L, a few I have in XL. Being between sizes, I might end up getting two and sending one back. :-\

I understand the issue. I feel like if you want UHF’s and hoodies under you may me better with an L.

Arm and body length may be an issue with an M also, depending on body shape.  I’m relatively short for my weight (180cm/98kg), and have T-Rex arms, so if you are tall/long in the arm then an M may not work.

[Giles]

I'm typically an L in IH shirts, occasionally an XL.  I wear an L in this jacket.  Typically I only wear a t-shirt under it, because it's very rarely cold enough here (South Coast, UK), to need more….

Thank you @Giles and @neph93, that is very helpful.

Crappy pic but I just slung mine on for a trip to the shops. This is over a single layer sweater.

[vu8iNTGo]

Much appreciated! Based on length, L should be the right choice.

It took me a moment to gather what you meant by T Rex arms, but that led me to an article that suggests that 120 years of research were needed to determine the purpose of T. rex's arms

[neph93]

Sorry… gorrilla’s vs. T-rex’s. The terms were established a number of years back during a discussion of UHF arm length [emoji28]

Thanks for the article though. I’ll lower the tone by leaving this here:
