IHJ-71 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Type ll Jacket - Indigo
-
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. :-\

@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!
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...

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.

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

How can I expect the 18oz raw to act judging by my pre soak fit pics?
It's going to shrink a bit
I'd say you need that in the shoulder, arms and to a lesser extent body (which is good because proportionally the arms and shoulders will shrink a little more than the body). The length looks good now, but I don't think the 1-1.5cm you'll loose is going to be a problem. How do you feel about the length?
