Man, these messurements are really killing me. I'm in-between.

[Giles]

I'm guessing so. @Alex  did it and he is not here atm…..

[rocket]

just random wondering…

Looks exactly like the same description as the IHJ-72. Am I missing something?

It’s not indigo/indigo denim but the regular 18oz. The weft is white.

[Jett129]

So the description is incorrect?

[Giles]

Yes it is.  We'll fix.  Sorry.

@Steve I hope you're buying this one, looks like it was made for you…

[Steve]

@neph93 - I did indeed buy this, it is a fantastic jacket, been wearing it everyday! really looking forward to seeing it fade. This pic is the same jacket I wore preshrunk, now shrunk, and fits like a glove!

[Dion]

Sounds awesome! It suits you very well.

I’m looking around for a raw type 2,and this one ticks all the boxes,but the collar appears to be very small to me. :-\

[Giles]

They were on type II's

I saw Steve wearing it yesterday and he truly has a great fit on it. Was my first time seeing a type II for real and it is an eye-catching jacket. 

There may be one in the future for me…

I'm seriously thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these tomorrow. I've been looking at type II for years now, love the style, but the cut has always been too boxy for my body type. This looks spot on…though the shoulder measurements worry me. My XXL 19 oz lefty has 20 inch shoulder, and they are on the limits of width for me, xxl type II adds an extra 1 inch to that.

Anyone got experience of other type II such as Full Count or Sugar Cane as a comparison? Just to make sure...

[Jett129]

I was all set to finally get a Type II,and then they showed the Blanket Lined Storm Rider.

I tried on a Full Count type II today. IH has ruined me forever! The 13.75 oz denim felt lighter than the 12oz 33 shirt I was wearing. I decided to play safe…if it ain't broke don't try and fix it!

I hear you. With regards to IH type II’s I think availing yourself of IHUK’s wonderful customer service is a good idea. In my experience, the fit and cut of type III vs. II’s is so different that measurements aren’t very helpful. That being said going with your usual size is always a good place to start.

That being said going with your usual size is always a good place to start.

I went for  my usual xxl but expecting some shrinkage. The sizing was roughly the same as my lefty, but the shoulders are about an inch broader on the type II.

I know there are some real FC fans out there, but the denim felt very papery to the touch. It was a great fit though.

I've gone for the XXL IH, and have ordered. The crew are helping with sizing on the 3 remaining, so as you rightly state, IH customer service is always by and beyond anyone else. If it is a goer when it arrives i'll put up some fit pics

@Steve @Alex  @neph93 what's your opinion folks? How can I expect the 18oz raw to act judging by my pre soak fit pics? Best to give it an agitated hot soak for an hour or so? (I love the smell of raw denim!). This is a XXL. I don't think I could drop a size and XXL is my usual IH denim jacket size…
