IHJ-84-BLK - 12oz Selvedge Chino Type II Jacket – Black

Hi @profdbrk It would just be speculative as Giles has been in Japan and self-isolation since we received these jackets but I would say XL going on how other crew members have sized in this.

I would agree, I can try one on over the weekend to make sure…..

I’d be grateful if you did give this a fit try, @Giles. Travel safely! Cheers.

@profdbrk Giles wears L over a T and an XL over a heavy shirt….

It arrived. I'm in love….. just what i was hoping for. Light, but stiff. Black as hell and clean as hell in terms of lines, etc. No side cinches. This thing can be dressed up or down. And I'm loving the type 2 more and more ever since buying the ihj 72.

I'm thinking of doing a initial hot soak, any issues with that? My first IH chino.... so no experience with washing/soaking.

Crappy first pics of me in sweats and a tee. I'll do some proper ones tomorrow.

Buffalo check pj’s no less! Nice. I’d go out of the house in that combo.

Great purchase btw. The fit looks perfect. I really like these but after buying the IH-526-PQ I can’t really go for another type I/II/III…

I'm tempted to walk the neighborhood like this. Honestly, the wife and kids are away, so i almost slept in the jacket last night. I feel like a kid at Christmas. I just haven't showered in a few days, so I didnt want to stink it up.

Dude, you look boss in the Piquie Blinder. Im like you, I have to make choices. I dont look as good with light tops, so it was never in the cards for me.

Im not sure i can buy another trucker jacket, but a lined one would be a must have for me.

This jacket looks outstanding on you @Yogi217 , congrats.

I’ve never owned or even tried on a type 2. Always wondered how it drapes when you have it buttoned up and sit, like riding a bike. Does the added stiffness from the lowered pockets cause it to bunch up between the chest and abdomen area?

There are several bike riders here… any experience on this with type IIs?

Yogi217

Here are some pics from today. They aren't the best, which is why i dont post pics…

I don't ride, so I cant specifically answer the question @motojobobo

For me, it bunches the same as a type 3 when sitting. I usually leave the bottom two buttons undone.

I like the overall fit of the type 2. It's somewhere between the rider's jacket (9527J) and a type 3. Compared to my type 3s I have better arm movement and it feels better across the upper chest than a type 3 because the pockets are lower, but those just my personal experiences/preferences. I just love the look of Iron Heart's type 2.

Great fit on your IHJ-84-BLK @Yogi217

Does anyone have any idea of how the chino fabric will look with age?

@NoRepoMan What are you thinking about? It is reactive dyed so will retain it's colour quite well with multiple washes. It won't fade like indigo or sulphur dyed clothing.

@Yogi217 may be able to give you a more specific description.
