@Steve Great to hear there’s a chance: fingers crossed. Thanks!

@Steve can you please describe how heavy/ warm is this fabric? Can it be used as a pure summer blazer/jacket?

[Steve]

@Cskarev These are similar to IH sizing but are designed more for the western style fit.

A lot also depends how you like your fit on these, and example is @AdamC can wear a L and XL, both looked good on him, his preference was the L as he thought the blazer works better as a closer fit. Johnny wears and prefers a L as he does on all IH (but can wear a M). I prefer a M in this, while genrally wear a L on most IH - I guess it depends how you want the the blazer to fit you.

Also worth mentioning there are two front dart seams on the blazer that gives it a closer fit, so it isnt a boxy blazer.

Hope this helps (a bit)!

@Steve thanks a lot for the answer! I will probably follow your example and size down!

[Steve]

@CPA As a physical weight, its similar to our 14oz denim jackets, but due to the weave it has a thicker texture while still being breathable and with the body of the blazer not lined it gives it relaxed natural drap (but the arms are lined for comfort)

I would defintely say this perfect as a spring/summer blazer, wearing a tshirt under it would be perfect - thats how I plan to wear it!

[AdamC]

@Cskarev If I was wearing unbuttoned with a tee, which is how I would wear it, then I would go with an L (I am an XL in IH UHFs) however if I was planning on wearing it buttoned or layering something heavier underneath I would have to go with an XL, but I like a trimmer fit as Steve said and the weight and feel of these jackets are perfect for summer over a tee in my opinion

@AdamC Not great, as this looks too damn good on you and wasn’t in my plans for a purchase…

Now I don’t know what to do

[goosehd]

…I am thinking this would look awesome over a chambray…

Great, look what I’m doing now…planning possible outfits…damn you all.

[AdamC]

@goosehd hahahaha I know it is my job to say this (though I would just not say anything at all if I didnt think it) but these jackets are extremely impressive, the fit and style of them is spot on. @Steve has done an amazing job

[goosehd]

…in complete agreement! Bravo @Steve

I drink too much red wine for one of these, I might switch to white wine.

A bit off topic but still: the link to the staff’s vitals does not work, at least for me.
