@T4920 hell yeah dude niiiiiiiice fades right thur.

[Oaktavia]

@AdamJ I love the blue hue with these vintage/contrast perfection with this jacket.

[T4920]

@AdamJ is this a sample, or old product?

[AdamJ]

@T4920 IHJ-51, which doesn't seem to have an entry in the system, or a forum thread. I'm just looking on wayback finder now

We never stocked them - type i and type iis have done historically very poorly for us, so we opted not to take this model, hence no thread or product page. @Giles just got one for himself

[Oaktavia]

@Alex well thank you for making the new T1 and T2 despite them not selling well historically. I am curious if this changes this time around. I am not sure if they are becoming more popular or if I am just in my own world and notice them more as I anticipate their arrival in IHUK.

[Alex]

The shift happened somewhere after the IHJ-51 and before we started to remake T1 and T2s for the west

[T4920]

Maybe a modified version with pockets would do better

[Alex]

@T4920 maybe

[Oaktavia]

While I love the side pockets on the IH Type III models, IMO the Type II ones wouldn't look as nice with them. Fashion over function kind of thing for me.

[DeeDee85]

Speaking of Type II’s… I’ve just ordered the slubby one, my first. Fingers crossed it works out!

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia Seconded...

[Luijim78]

I'm also looking forward to them, before I was more inclined towards the type 1 in 19oz i/g but given the contrasting stitching and that it still has the back strap now I think I'll take the type 2 i/b... or how I fear it will end I'll take both there

[Luijim78]

@T4920 congratulations my friend, a wonderful combo

Same here man...I have not found a way around that yet.

I'm minded to agree with this, too

This is similar to the age old to-cinch-or-not-to-cinch debate, where 50% of people say they will buy xx jacket with a cinch, 50% of people say they would only buy xx jacket without the cinch, and 75% of both parties don't buy the jacket after all
