Chuck it in the washing machine, it should be fine.

Thanks guys, I'll try both and report back.

[Paul9221]

My wife treated the stains and threw it in the washer, no probs!  Air-drying now.  Great to know that I can just throw this in the washer!

@Giles:

In the course of the next week if the above is anything to go by…

[Giles]

Yep….

RESTOCK

Has the measurement chart been updated, or are the dims the same as before?

[Wlemon]

Great question @wdw. This seems smaller than the type 3s I have from Iron Heart. If they are the same measurements, I think I'll have to size up.

[wdw]

Yeah, the chest is smaller than others.  I had the same problem last time and just couldn't get one to fit my chest without being too long.  I had hoped it might change with the restock.

[AdamJ]

@wdw @Wlemon Only the length has been updated on the chart

[Wlemon]

Sounds like we're in the same boat, @wdw. Fingers crossed they are different.

[Wlemon]

Welp. Spoke too soon. 

[dreigh]

About an inch longer in the sleeves than I am used to in a type iii, but I think it works!

[Wlemon]

Looks good. You can roll up the sleeves maybe? It has that cool corduroy there, right?

[dreigh]

@Wlemon Yep! The cuffs are corduroy, but I don’t mind the sleeve length really. I imagine as the elbows crease over time the sleeves will hang a bit shorter anyways.

This jacket feels like a perfect autumn or early spring weight. It really looks fantastic in person.

[Wlemon]

Yep, it should. I'd say about a half inch or so in my experience. It's a killer jacket. I have coveted it for quite a while, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

[Palmer]

Look badass! Love that jacket.

[Paul9221]

That looks perfect.  You look like a tall and slender guy and the slightly longer sleeves go well with that physique.  But if you want to cuff them, that'll look good too.

I don't anticipate that the sleeves will shorten much, or at all, with creasing since this is whipcord and not denim but maybe they will.  Anyone have experience with that?

[dreigh]

@Paul9221 Thank you for feedback on the fit! Looking over this thread your fit pics contributed to my decision to finally make this purchase.

Concerning creasing affecting resting sleeve length: You’re likely correct, this material probably won’t crease up like denim.
