    @Max-Power really nice Jacket! I had the Tabacco RJ-1 some years ago and the fit was amazing, I really liked the Jacket and I still think about it. I ended up selling it because it was way too warm for summer and it was not warm enough for winter, say that 0-8°C range. I'm curious how this one feels in comparison? Is it really warm? How does that 20oz canvas feel when you wear it? If you have it, how does it compare to the 21oz IH fabrics?

    I have had my eye on the CD-4 over the last year but I have never found one in my size and I don't know how I feel about the shorter zip. It doesn't zip all the way to the top which might leave me with a cold neck 🙂

      I haven't had the chance to wear it in really cold weather. I feel like it breathes fairy well and feels not too different from my lined leather jackets. So I guess it will be warm enough for our kind of winters with 0 to 6 degrees Celsius. With a hoodie or flannel it will certainly be fine. That goes for the blanket lined 20oz version.
      The 20oz canvas is not overly stiff, but I have a few horsehide jackets in rotation so that is my benchmark. It's definitely comfortable to wear.

        I went to a little bonfire on Halloween. It was pretty cold that night so I got to break out the shearling. Got rather Smokey. Been airing it out today and admiring the fade progress. Excited to put another winter on this beauty!

            Got in the 14oz slub deck pants today. I really like the baggier chino fit on these. I have two other pairs of deck pants but they’re only 10oz and they don’t hang the way I like. These hold their shape better. This fabric was only for the workers chinos before but I tried those on at Franklin & Poe last year and they’re not for dudes with big thighs. I feel like these are huge compared to all my 888s but I’ll get used to them. Might even buy a few more colors

                Definitely get them @Mizmazzle. They’re so comfy with engineer boots and just a tee. I walked a few miles in them today and they’re like sweat pants haha

                    So, here it is. First I have to say the my shopping experience with the rugged society was excellent, super fast shipping and packaging!

                    Well, for the jacket itself I'm fully blown away. It's softer and less thick than I expected, maybe also less warm. The fit is fantastic with a Tee, not sure if I can layer up for winter though. Anyway, I love it and will most likely get a lighter version in spring.

                    Edit: I can layer an UHF underneath. Snugly but not uncomfortably.

                    It's the 20oz wool blanket version in tobacco, which is more olive than on the 10oz version apparently.

                    Hey mate! I'm currently browsing the interweb for the exact same jacket.

                    Maybe you can help me with your first hand experience. I'm not so sure about sizing and warmth. Do you think this is a true winter coat or more of a three season jacket?

                    I'm 179cm and between 75 and 80kg. I wear size large in the current lefty od and XL in the duck type 3.. In IH shirts I am usually between L and XL. Do you think I should go for size large or medium in the heavy riders jacket?

                    Thank you so much!

                      @RobeOfTheMagi my bit of input is I wear a solid Large in all my IH shirts and jackets. I’m a medium in the freenote jackets I have or have had in the past.

                      Of course, same with Iron Heart…trust the measurements. I’ve always found Freenote to be great at keeping their measurements updated and accurate.

                        I'm an XL in IH shirts and Type 3s, being 1,86m and 88 kg. The Freenote Jacket is a Large and fits perfectly, however if I had to work in it or would use heavy layering I imagine I could size up one. So I feel like a size M might work for you if you want a snug fit, but L could be the better choice for layering. There's plenty of measurements to be seen online, maybe they can help you.

                        If it helps, the fabric feels softer as I expected and the arms are quite roomy, so despite being snug the jacket doesn't restrict movement.

                          Plus those elastic shoulder gussets are super great for mobility.

                            My two cents … I’m an XXL in Western fit UHFs and I took an XL in the riders jacket. I’ve got a room to layer, but not to the point where the jacket looks sloppy in a tee shirt. I think that’s what’s really great about the waxed canvas … it sort of holds its shape and looks good even if you size up.

                            For reference, I’m 6’2”, 175 lbs.

                                  @RobeOfTheMagi I have the riders jacket in a large and it is spot on all over. Am 6’1, 175 lbs and 41” chest. Take XL in Iron Heart UHF and L-XL in type 3’s. I love the jacket. Fav piece of clothing I have ever owned. Warm enough for most days winter in UK though would need a UHF and thermal minimum on for winter days here. I ordered the 20oz alpaca lined but had to sell as it needed to be an XL to do up due to the lining.
                                  Hope that helps.

                                    Cheers mate! You're slightly taller and heavier than me. I'm still unsure whether to go for medium or large.

                                    The models on the websites usually go for rather slim sizes. But there's pictures and then there's using the jacket in real life.

                                      @RobeOfTheMagi I can tell you I had the waxed rider in a size large and it was fine with a UHF under but I wished I had taken a medium like in my other Freenote jackets. With only a tee it was too baggy I thought.

                                      Trust the measurements per usual. Measure a jacket that fits how you'd like this one to fit. Again, those shoulder gussets are genius for chest and shoulder mobility.

                                        I’m 6ft and 87kg, I have an athletic build and could have gone medium for a super slim fit but seeing as I’ve changed my gym routine lately I felt it wouldn’t be long until I needed to size up, I felt the armpits constricted a bit. Swapped out for a large and so glad I did. Looks great with a tee but can get away with a UHF or light sweater too.

                                        Given your height and weight I’d be inclined to go medium. I think your stats are similar on paper to the guy that sells freenote near me. Autuer store on Instagram if you want to have a look at how his fits in medium.

                                          @RobeOfTheMagi in case you’re still considering… I’m 6ft, 85kg, 41 inch chest. I’m between Large and XL in IH, depending on the piece. I have this exact jacket and went with Large. With the thicker lining and dense fabric, I think you’d appreciate a touch of extra room as opposed to being too fitted. I’ve tried Mediums in this jacket and find they’re very snug on me. I am a bit bigger than you but I’d lean Large.
