IHJ-69 - Corduroy Modified Type III Jacket - Black and Khaki

[Cole]

Is the cut so much different to the 101blk? @Alex wears XL in the 101blk, yet the XXL here looks almost smaler and shorter then that on him, even if the meassurements say something else.

There are 102 other people who have tried more inventive stories than that I am afraid. 

Giles do you remember this line: Good idea, we could do a buy 2 and buy 3 incentive…....

I am infamous for my shite memory…..

@Dstauffer:

Looking like I’m gonna have to size up to a XXXL to get the sleeve/body length I need…hopefully this makes my chances of me copping more preferable.

For some reason I didn’t get the email (I swear I filled out the form)...these still going live tomorrow?

I'm torn. The fit charts suggest I could size up. The xl is close to my SExIH od type III but i'm still uncertain. I would typically wear the same size as @sam though

It was a quote you made about this Jacket

Yeah, I know - I was being ironic….

@ionlybuy18ozplus:

is it just my monitor or the black one appears a bit blue-ish ?

The Black cord collar on my IHJ-17 is also quite blueish - it’s a brilliant shade that I’m glad carries over to these jackets - will look splendid after some wear and washes

Pic for reference:

FWIW, I had my eye on the chocolate since these were announced - now I’m toying with black vs Khaki…. knowing that the Black looks splendid with SB and I’m guessing SBG as well, it may actually be the most versatile in the bunch [emoji6]

Khaki is my favorite out of the three.  I would/will size up to XXL as well.

Hopefully I’ll be singing Back in Black tomorrow.

I own the old 6526J in black, and can confirm that it is super versatile.  Goes with everything.

No doubt about that, I'm just not in need of another black jacket.

Any guesses re: shrinkage?

I guess I should rephrase my question: how heavy is the jacket? I know nothing about cord weight/construction.

The first iteration was termed 'heavyweight' I assume these are lighter weight than those?

This would be useful information for people on the fence for sizing. @giles do you recall what the old one was like and how it compares to the new version?

These are lighter.  The OG was a double weave corduroy (possibly never made before). These aren't, they are a single weave, and nowhere near as heavy and windproof as the first iteration.

But, would I love to own one, two or three?  Fuck yeah…..
