IHJ-69 - Corduroy Modified Type III Jacket - Black and Khaki
-
@wdw:
I haven't noticed the issue on mine but will check tonight. I'd have thought it might have been a packing fold, which I have on most jackets, I think even without pockets.
As for the pockets, I like the inner section for my phone, but never use the hand pockets as they would just bulge out and spoil the lines. Maybe we could have a version with just inners?
I like both the interior and exterior pockets personally.

I'm pretty certain it is just a packing fold.

That's what I assumed too, but it is the interior pocket. I pulled mine out of the closet lastnite to see if mine had the crease and it did. Actually, I hesitate to call it a crease because it's more of an indentation. When the interior pocket pushes up against the corduroy fabric it bulges out a little, but when you pull the interior pocket away from the fabric the indentation goes away. The corduroy isn't very thick so I think this is why it gives it that appearance.

Such a great jacket, perfect for our crazy springs in the Midwest

I may be wrong, but I have always believed the lack of pockets is why the previous iteration of this jacket didn’t sell. I probably would have passed without pockets… unless Haraki comes out with some nice leather gloves.

you mean like these
But you're right, I likely would've passed on the 69 if it didn't have hand warmer pockets.

As for the lines, i think it's definitely the pockets. My 526-sbg, 9526V and 69 all have lines directly at the top of the interior pockets, whereas my 526J and 101J don't. I can't say it bothers me, but it reinforces my preference for the jackets without pockets.
The fact that it wasn't a big enough deal to even think about it before makes me realise how insignificant it is.
-
Exactly. I would have never noticed it had it not been mentioned. Even after it was mentioned it took a bit of looking for me to spot them.

I would've worn mine today but the temps this morning were freezing. I wore my SExIH od type III instead with a uhf underneath and I was still cold. A couple more days and I can finally take her out for a spin

That was impeccable timing.

So first new Iron Heart purchase! So glad I pulled the trigger on this. Finally cooled down enough here in Sydney to get a fit pic (Still having 30 degree days in April!! :'(), what do you guys think? This is an XL, I think it pretty spot on. Has a bit more room than my 3sixteen type 3's which I don't mind but I think I could do with a little bit of shrinkage all round, anyone given one of these a warm wash yet?
-
I think the fit is perfect @Darth Iron
-
@manufc10 thanks mate
-
Cheers. The flannel is my old Filson cascade shirt which is my standby when it's warmer out.
@Darth Iron
Good fit. What's your height/weight?
