    Yup!

    Another jacket tour, guys! This time, we'll be playing with the IH-526-ODG, size L

    Looking at the IH-526-ODG in all of it's whipcordy-y glory got me to thinking about the fabric's ties to the US Navy, which evolved in to the idea of a "party jacket".

    As sailors travel(ed) the seas from country to country, and port of port, it was common practice to buy and trade patches and whatnot to have sewn on to a jacket, and a wearable log of their journeys. I think our ragtag group of fashion bros here can really breathe some life into this piece.

    Now, I'm fairly sure by now, you guys are thinking the same thing that I thought as I brewed this idea in my mind: "This could turn out GREAT, or it could turn out fugly…", lol! Honestly, I'm not too concerned with either outcome, so long as the jacket tells a great story. But, I think it goes without saying that we should at least TRY to add/modify with "good taste" in mind, lol! Also, this does not need to be a "pampered" piece of gear. Wear it, wash it, work on cars in it, jump in the ocean with it... But most importantly, TAKE PICTURES WITH IT.

    If this interests you, sign up below! I plan to christen it at Fish & Chips, and start the tour from there. After that, it will be the same as any other tour… I will quote @neph93, since he's already eloquently outlined how these things go:

    "For those of you new to touring IH gear it’s pretty straightforward. You receive the jacket and it’s yours for about four weeks. Wear it as much as possible, and post here as much as you can. It’s as much about giving an insight into your everyday as it is about tracking the jacket evo. Towards the end of your leg, get in touch with the next member on the list and ship the jacket to them. Meet ups and in person hand-overs are great if possible. For inspiration you could do a lot worse than checking out the 888 Fatboy tour here:  https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10586.msg514002#msg514002 "

            Well, in that case, don't bother shipping it to me yet, lol! I can just grab it at Fish & Chips

                  Y'all might want to take care of the UK leg, first.  I'm in no rush! Besides, this will only be one that gets crazier as time goes on with the jacket, I imagine.

                          This has potential to be legendary.

                              Yes! Count me in when this bad boy hits the states (NY, particularly).

                                Maybe we should post measurements before FedEx collect this PM…

                                  Sounds like a good idea

                                    @UnTucked Sorry, you will have to do the measurements - FedEx apparently collected at 1300 rather than the promised 1600..

                                          It is likely to be way, way too small for me, but if I can get it on and not rip it, I'll do a leg
