IHJ-131-RED - CORDURA® Windbreaker - Red

[goosehd]

@ARNC It looks really good on you! How many seasons or what temperature conditions do you see yourself wearing it? I’m eyeing it, can’t justify it, but want it…

[endo]

@ARNC I couldn't wear that colour but it looks good on you. How did you do the sizing, usual size? Also eyeing ...

[ARNC]

@goosehd thanks. I haven’t had a chance to test how warm it gets if I’m moving around in it but it should work well from now to autumn in the UK with different layers underneath. I would think there are better options for winter or for very hot summers.

Definitely fills a gap for me as all my wet weather jackets are insulated and too hot for the summer.

[ARNC]

@endo I bet you could, but there’s always the less exciting colours if you feel the need!

I went L - same as most of my work shirts - the P2P measurements are a little intimidating but I think for most people the top line (arms/shoulders) will be the one to focus on.

@ARNC looking good mate, really suits you the jacket

[ARNC]

@JoshC thanks. I think it’s worked out well!

@ARNC looks great! If my wardrobe wasn’t already crippling under the weight of jackets, this is the colour I’d have picked too.

[ARNC]

@DeeDee85 I get that, but for me this is a different kind of jacket, and it goes in the coat cupboard not the wardrobe, so I can bypass that problem. You’re welcome to borrow either/both excuses if you need to

The colour really is great (the photos were cropped and nothing else, so the colour is fairly accurate).

[endo]

it should definitely come in more colours, like

[DeeDee85]

@ARNC I really debated this one in my own brain since the SS24 reveal… I don’t own anything light and fully waterproof so I was leaning towards buying it and talked myself out of it with the reason being “it would take away valuable wear time from my other non-waterproof fading projects I’m neglecting” to say we are a strange bunch would be an understatement wouldn’t it

[ARNC]

@DeeDee85 you’d probably have room to continue at least some fading projects underneath. I know, not helping!

[DeeDee85]

@ARNC you’ve got me checking if my size is still in stock now I’ve managed to slip in a couple of indigo shirts in lately with my wife thinking they are the same shirt, that excuse won’t wash here will it…

[ARNC]

@DeeDee85 I guess not

[goosehd]

@DeeDee85 Say it's a sample that you're trying out for IH to see if it would be a good fit for the brand.

You'll only get away with this one once, so be careful for when you use it...

[DeeDee85]

@goosehd that is a stroke of genius right there.. I might have to save that for a big buck though. Or the teacore type 3. Or a split steer

[goosehd]

@DeeDee85 I believe that excuse has been used by multiple people here in the past...It's been referenced a few times and I too thought it was genius. Haven't used it yet as I gauge the death stare, me sleeping on the couch, and my likelihood of surviving the night with every package being delivered.

There's been a few times where I just about used it though...

[long_john86]

@goosehd @DeeDee85 that is a genius excuse, now added to my back pocket. I think I’ll keep that one for a pale rider / big buck kinda purchase. A quality excuse for a quality garment.

Excuses That Endure.

[DeeDee85]

@goosehd I’ll save that one for when she’s nearly at breaking point with it then… I was doing well at first with the “these are lifetime products, it will save me buying it a second time” line but then pretty much shit on my own reasoning by following it up with “I’m also going to try and destroy it as fast as I can by wearing it constantly” and “I know they last a lifetime but I’ll be needing ten pairs of jeans and thirty shirts too”

Yes my children… yessssss.

[goosehd]

@Matt I was wondering when the dark lord would sense a disturbance…
