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

[browniemcghee]

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.

How lightweight is this jacket?

Any guesses re: shrinkage?

One-washed, so little or none…

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…..

Similar in weight to my IHSH-161?(Indigo corduroy)

[Giles]

Heavier

[Jett129]

And that shirt’s pretty heavy. The jacket looks great on you and everyone else who modeled in the pictures.

Very helpful! Thank you.

Khaki for me, though brown is tempting!  Will these stretch with wear I wonder?

A side note: the sleeve openings came out really big?  In XXXL it's 5.5 inches… besides the Hulk, does anyone even have to unbutton the sleeve to get their hands through?

So I'm almost certain this was asked before, but how many vendors are getting these @Giles, @Alex ?  I know SE is getting the black one but who else is getting them?

[Jett129]

I think there was a list on the old/original thread somewhere.

[manufc10]

You're right.  Found the vendor list.

SENY
SELA

Good man, AZ!  But the million pound question is which colors besides black and where? Grabs coat hurriedly and exists thread…

Trying to decide which size would work best for me.
The chest measurements seem small compared to the shoulder measurement. The chest measurement is pushing me to either a XXL or a XXXL…I don't have any other IH top in those sizes.
Anyone else share that concern?
