    Thats a good question @Pete !
    Depending on the activity You might want to add few layers. The sleeves become more full and harder to bend depending on the number and thickness of the layers but so far, I found that with brisk walk / hiking at –6 degrees Celsius I only need my trusty crewneck from Woolpower (https://woolpower.se/shop/produkt/crewneck-200/) while I needed 13,4oz Henley from Merz b. Schwanen (https://merzbschwanen.com/shop/2s04-01-men-s-loopwheeled-henley-heavy-13-4oz-relaxed-fit-6952?collection=157) plus Extra Heavy Flannel from UES (https://www.japaneseselvagejeans.com/goods_en_SEK_1594.html) when standing for a longer time in the same conditions.

      I also picked this up from iron shop provisions, the zipper on mine is a little stubborn at the bottom - cannot easily zip and unzip… any thoughts on how to improve this?

            Also its dark outside, 10 degrees F, feels like -4F with 15 MPH winds… I am warm enough with a UHF underneath this jacket and the hood on!  Nice Parka... I would definitely take this snowboarding as well.

              Tested it out in -16 Celsius today with waffle and a loopwheel and it did fine - albeit wasn’t standing around!

                Like the quilted riders jacket I think there is a trick. Connect the zip grab the toggle on the end pull down away and out without detaching the zip and then up - works every time

                      The more I wear it the more I agree with @Giles on this. There is this piece of fabric that always gets in the way when you start to zip. But if you are aware of that, one finger move can put that fabric in the right spot, under the zipper. From there it all goes smoothly.

                        Such a great jacket. Exactly what I was looking for. Only upside to getting snow today (in March 😫) was the opportunity to wear this beast.

                                  So I managed to pick-up an XL from a forum member. I’m so used to buying winter coats for work and they are either too big or too small. So I’m probably questioning sizing because the jacket fits properly. I’m 6’1 and about 220. I’ve just had a chicken sandwich too. Here is a fit pic… just a t-shirt underneath. I tried with a 9oz flannel underneath and it was a bit more snug but by no means tight. Just want to see what people think. I think an XXL might be too big.

                                  Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

                                      @joephoto it looks like it looks like it fits you well.

                                      I’m always a bit confounded by sizing relative to what other people wear. The IH staff vitals are helpful, but to me, most of it comes down to “feel” and how you like to wear your clothing.

                                      I’ve had to go through a bit of trial and error to figure out my IH size, but I think have it now. I still make a few mistakes (as the IH crew can attest to lol).

                                      I’m 6’2” 180 lbs and I wear an XL in this jacket.

                                        Thanks. That tells me I’m probably at the top end of a good fit for this jacket. I’ve lost loads of weight in the last year and still going. So I know an XXL might be roomier now, but in a months time could be swimming on me. As it’s not a working jacket for me, I’m trying to view the fit as more style than what I’d normally need for work. Thanks for the feedback.
