      Oh F' me… I love this jacket. To me this is reminiscent of the Carhartt Detroit jacket, one of my favorites of all time and doesn't get the love it should. While I love all historical denim jacket designs, Type I, II, II, 101J, etc., I really like the simplicity and basic functionality of this design. No pleats, no excessive decorative seams, functional pockets where you need them. This style of jacket in brown duck goes with anything. The only thing I see as superfluous is the button tab at the bottom hem, but that seems to be an IH thing with zippered jackets.

      Note I - a blanket lined version, with a generous zippered internal pocket, for colder months would kill.

      Note II - @Giles @Alex & IHUK crew - the product description says this jacket is inspired by the Lee 101J. Is that correct? I don't see any resemblance…

        Would you say the xl fits baggy on you or is there no noticeable difference between it and the large? I'm assuming there's a little more room to fit a uhf underneath? The only difference that I can see is slightly longer sleeves but the rest of it looks fine

          I'm guessing @Giles meant it's inspired by the Lee 191

            Sorry, this jacket is based on the Lee 101J First Zip.

            When the intro para was written, "First Zip" got omitted.  I have corrected….

              I do like both sizes tbh but I lean towards the L over the XL.

                  Definitely baggy on him. The XL over a T would look like a $400 Detroit, IMHO. The Large looks better on him for a 'light' duty jacket. (To each their own, obviously.)

                      It is of course a riding thing. It is their so one can tighten the hem to prevent wind coming in. It's on the type III's as well as a lot of the heavier vests.

                        I could be wrong,but I think he’s referring to the button in the front underneath the zipper.

                          You’re probably right. I’m a bugger for jumping to conclusions.

                            Yes, that's what I'm referring to… although I'd prefer no tab, it's not a deal breaker. Unfortunately no immediate plans to cop this awesome piece.

                              Waffled a bit about sizing, glad I took a shot. One of my favorite jackets is an ancient Carhartt, this is a worthy replacement.

                              Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                              Well, I have others.

                                It’s going to be a fantastic jacket @steelworker. Looking forward to fit pics.

                                        Thanks I love it and it’s a nice addition to a bunch of denim and leather jackets
