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.

SESF
SENY
SELA
SEPDX
B&S
R&H
VMC

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?

I’m in the same boat. I’m going to go with XXL given it’s not heavy weight. Hopefully that will work out.

I’m going to go with a XXXL,as I like to be able to layer underneath my jackets.

[Dstauffer]

@motojobobo I’m sizing up to a XXXL…likely to be a more overall “relaxed” fit, but I need it for the sleeve and body length

[manufc10]

Sizing up to XXL from usual XL for same reasons as stated above.
