IHM-43-NAV - Nylon Type L-2B Flight Jacket - Navy Blue

@EdH nailed the fit here, did you say Mrs H got a jacket at the party too? Eagerly await her forum debut!

[EdH]

@Tago-Mago Is it bigger than yours?

@TENDREL Thanks!

@T4920 Mrs H did indeed allow me to buy her a 14oz black/black T3. She hasn't worn it out yet. I recommended she doesn't debut it in all this rain, whereas this bomber is perfect for the wet weather.

@JerkStore Length is perfect, that's exactly where a flight jacket should hit. Wear it well dude.

Removed the sp large from my James dant cart to buy gift certificates for bonus cc points. Went to buy jacket with gc's....

[RubyRae]

@CosmoSix5 That's a bummer, maybe one will become available or maybe it's a blessing in disguise. As much as I love the color, style, and overall look of the jacket, I can't help but notice in all the pics the zipper looks like a roller coaster from top to bottom. Maybe it's just my imagination, but still love much about this jacket. I had reservations on sizing and also didn't have the funds.

Hey question for those who got this beauty, is it warm ? Cause I need something that keeps warm between lightweight and my N1.

[Matt]

Couldn’t say. It hasn’t been cold enough for me to know if it was keeping me warm and I haven’t worn one for more than a try on. Based on the weight and heft I’d say it’s a good mid weight jacket.

I'm not a straight answer sorta guy so apologies in advance for my rambling

It's been about 63F at night where I live. I took this jacket out for an evening stroll, just over a t-shirt. At first, it was perfect, not too cold, not too warm. However, after about 1 mile, I got pretty warm and had to take it off.

While it's much lighter than the N1 and not initially as warm, it insulates MUCH better, so if you're doing something active, you might find yourself overheating in this compared to the N1.

Hope that helps!

Out for delivery today. Can’t wait.

Snagged a returned XXL. Was gutted that missed out initially. Suspect I may be an XL but stoked to be able to give this one a try!

[Matt]

Sized up to a L al really glad I did. The M wouldn’t have fit over anything more than a tee and was snug through the chest and arms. Shoulders and sleeves are perfect.

@Matt pics please

[Matt]

I promise I’ll get around to it. It’s been too warm and I’m in full work from home sweatpants mode.

@Matt Picturing you with a mullet (business up top and party at the back), with shirt and tie/sweatpants. :

[Buckeye]

To be honest, this didn’t look super impressive online and I couldn’t figure out why it was flying off the shelves. I bit the bullet and grabbed an XXL, and I’m so glad I did. Perfectly constructed lightweight bomber; will definitely get lots of use!

[JerkStore]

@Buckeye They really nailed it. Nice cross between lightweight jacket and bomber. I typically dislike bombers in general. I love how the collar goes around the neck.

Same. I didn’t decide I wanted it until I saw it in person.

same, exactly the same

I think being able to see it in person at the party could have motivated quite a few sales. Based on photos alone I though it was going to me much lighter but the insulated lining puts it in a mid weight range I think. So, I didn’t feel like waiting for an M1A.
