@long_john86 I had the IHM-34 for a couple of years until i realised i got a size too big really and moved it on, i'd get another if i could.
To answer your question, the 34 is far warmer than the 38, heavy whipcord outer and blanket lined inside, it's a real beast. The 38 is a good bit thinner on the outer and the inner lining isn't quite so insulating as the blanket on the 34. I'd think of the 38 as more of a spring/autumn coat where the 34 is very much a winter coat.

Hey All
does anyone from the US have a carrier recommendation for international shipping; US to UK? -
@tody Cheers mate. I have it in an XL but want to size up to XXL. Not bothered about colour. Maybe I should throw this out there on a WTT thread…

@flannel-slut ups express saver. DHL is usually cheaper but the documents are not as dummy friendly as UPS. I'm the dummy in this example not you.
-
@CosmoSix5 thank you for the chiming in! And a v valid consideration point in terms of documents
-
@flannel-slut be sure also to use Pirateship. com or another discount site.

@ROman thanks! Was thinking USPS for stateside mostly but I’ll try them for a quote too
-
@flannel-slut fwiw I just used USPS for a return to the UK and it got there pretty quickly and without incident. I don’t think the tracking is as detailed though

I appreciate you chiming w your experiences! @SKT @Mister_Brue

I second Pirate Ship — usually a pretty solid price to get to the UK, similar to IH’s return label shipping, as in around $35. I did have one time where I had to send a package somewhere that was a little more remote than the more typical big city destinations, and iirc it was more like $50. I’ve found that UPS’s paperwork is really easy — just sign the docs and ask the peeps at the UPS store for the international sleeve to stick on the package when you drop it off.
I wonder about tracking with USPS: when I get a package inbound via Royal Mail or Canada Post et al, I follow tracking on their respective sites. Once it crosses over and is handed off to USPS, you can enter the tracking on its site and there it now is. Does this not work when sending a pkg to the UK — has anyone tried entering a USPS tracking number on the Royal Mail site? Worth a shot.

@popvulture I don't know about the UK, but the USPS tracking numbers work for me after it crosses into Canada's system (Canada Post). To date, I've not had any issues tracking.
-
@Mister_Brue man, fingers crossed it works out! Postal limbo is the worst.

https://parcelsapp.com/ is usually my place to go for tracking. The service is able to get all related tracking number from services to which the parcel is handed over. and also gives an estimate time of arrival, based on other parcels that have been tracked in the same time frame.

Anyone knows what kind of material is used in the IH N1 deck jackets for ''additional interlining to increase wind resistance''?
