IHM-20 - Overdyed 14oz Indigo Denim M65
-
Well, a few days in, and I can say I am glad I got this TTS. (Again, for reference, I am not Hulk Hogan, by any means, but I have large arms and shoulders, relativistically speaking).
I also gave the M-20 a warm soak, and while I will not say "it shrunk" (bc I am not sure it did), it does feels like it came in, tightened up, et cetera. If it did shrink, it would be in the sleeve just slightly, which is great.
The end result is this thing is spot on perfect. I could wear with a thin button-up (or tee)… or I can wear with a UHF (not with the sleeves cuffed/rolled up, it should be noted) or hoodie. The former is fitting but relaxed; the latter is snuggie-snug. Thank f-g heaven for the pleated shoulders.
This thing is a beast. Way to go IH.

Well shit… you guys in the size down club were right. I received my XL today and it's too big
And of course the Larges are gone now. Dammit all to hell.@Giles any chance to.get another Large or should I just get one from one of the vendors? Kick ass jacket though.
I'd just get one from SE or Mild Blend. Sorry to hear your size didnt work out. Were you swimming in the xl?

In the chest and length, yes. Shoulders and arms were about perfect….fitted in a sense, so I'm almost thinking that sizing down to L might make it too tight in the shoulders and arms but I think I'm going to give it a shot anyways. And yeah I'll go the SE or MildBlend route.
I went with my usual size on the basis of shoulder width. Any smaller and it could have caused problems. If it was a perfect world I might have had an inch shorter in length, but geez, it's an M65, not MA1 so I'll deal with it! It's also pretty heavy for a spring/Autumn jacket so I layer if needed.

@dishelveled and I are close in ht/wt but i'm guessing his chest measurement is smaller than me.
5'11" 165lbs–39" chest, 40R suits

Finally landed! Excruciatingly slow shipping, almost 2 weeks from order placement date (not through IH obviously) but now it’s here, I’m super happy [emoji2]
Quick and dirty fit pics:
Fully zipped up with closed collar;
A future IH classic IMHO

looks good @zatenm. These suckers flew off the shelves too
Did you size down on your ihm-20?

Much appreciated gents! Delighted to be a member of this here club @rocket @Appfaff @gaseousclay
Sizing-wise, my IH shirt size is btw M and L. I went M for this one and I’m glad I did.
Could be a bit too snug over an UHF (yet to try it) but should work beautifully with everything else.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ve just wanted to buy one in xl. All are gone (iirc yesterday 2 were left)[emoji31]
Enjoy ya addiction!
I might be sending my XL back. I've held onto it because I have a Large from SE being delivered to my house today and I'm going to try both on and see which one works better for me. I'll let you know if I end up sending the XL back. I almost feel like I might be in between sizes on this bad boy.

You get your M65 from SE? How'd the new fit work out for you?

The Large fits me like a glove. Love this thing. Perfect over a T or thin long sleeve. Haven't tried over a sweater or flannel but doubt I'll need to layer much with it anyways. Sent the XL back to IHUK.
In the end sizing down was the way to go for me which I never would have thought by looking at the measurements. As a forum member once said…pleated shoulders are your friend. Think it was Giles that said that...

Glad it worked out for you. I wore mine today with a thermal top and tee over that. Truth is, you likely won't have to wear thicker layers because the jacket itself is pretty hefty. As I said before, it's perfect for temps in the 40's to 60's. Post fit pics if you get the chance

Trying to show the different hues in different lights. First set is unfiltered, shot from the same s7 phone camera. 2nd set has the 'magic wand' color enhancement.

Ok. The rock in your right shoe is really starting to make me anxious.
