@popvulture:

@northeastwear you get your size S yet? How's it fit?

I did! It fits a treat, really cozy as well. Def a bit of a tradeoff in terms of how long you can tolerate the sleeves being in the interest of getting more space in the shoulders to make layering stuff underneath easier but a UHF feels great on underneath and that's probably the most important part

Omg the idea of wearing a UHF under that nukes me just thinking about it… but then again you do live in a properly cold place

It's true - I wore it yesterday but it wasnt quite freezing so I just went with the tan work shirt underneath:

(jeans are I+W barton slims, boots from NF bootmaker)

yeah, great look @northeastwear

What are these guys like in the rain? Is this water resistant?

[Giles]

Because the whipcord weave is so dense, they are water resistant, but definitely not waterproof….

@Dmart @endo how did you guys size this? Typical UHF size or down one/two? A few of these somehow ended up in the outlet and someone’s finding it hard to resist. Asking for a friend you know…
The friend wears XXL UHFs and is eyeing an XL.

*you both look spectacular in this coat btw

[Dmart]

@weftyarn it really is a great coat. I am between M and L in UHF‘s, mostly M and wear size M in the coat. Fits perfectly!

[endo]

I have it in XL, as all my IH jackets and most shirts. Go for it, it‘s wonderful.

[weftyarn]

Thanks guys, just pulled the trigger. Let’s hope the XL works, the measurements look perfect and I think I remember trying on an XL last year

[Dmart]

@weftyarn if it fits I guarantee that you’ll love it! One of my fav IH pieces.

[endo]

absolutely, with some modifications

Great score @weftyarn, this was my most worn jacket last winter.

[weftyarn]

Thanks guys! Man the sizing game is hard sometimes. Can’t wait to receive the bag and try this thing on.

@endo Indeed some great mods!! Who did you trust?

I have a turkish tailoring lady here around. She is great, does everything with perfection, the Iron Heart way of alterations.

[weftyarn]

Damn… This thing is a masterpiece.
It was a great decision to go with the smaller XL - still easily fits over my 14Oz hoodie. Yup, I’m sweating though

The fabric, the lining, the cut… No velcro, just snap buttons. Huge warm hood. Pockets that will hold 2 bottles of mulled wine. Perfection!

More detailed impression and better fit pics when temps drop. Can’t wait for that to happen now..

[Dmart]

Told you. This is piece is awesome!

[Giles]

Boom....

[Raster]

Yup. Best thing I bought last winter. All time favorite for sure!
