IHJ-142-IND - 21oz Serge Windbreaker - Indigo

After only a few wears, this is breaking in so nicely! I can tell how soft yet sturdy this if eventually going to be!
One piece of feedback I have is, (and this is possibly due to my snap upgrade?) is that the top male snap doesn’t line up with the female snap. I took a photo which is hard to fully capture what’s going on, but in order to close the snap you have to bend the fabric, and it causes the zipper to fold onto its side. This makes it dig sideways into the upper chest/central collar bone, which unfortunately is uncomfortable. I think my only work-around is to leave it 3/4 unzipped when I want to close it all the way to avoid this.
Perhaps a small detail, but I know you all like to focus on small details, so I hope this is helpful for future productions. Also possibly just occurring on mine, so curious if anyone else is experiencing this?

It won't be due to your snap upgrade, the same holes are used as the ones installed by the factory. The guys will check stock on hand and come back to you soon @MSav32323

@MSav32323 We had all tried these on and not noticed but now you have mentioned it and weve looked at the stock on hand I can see what you mean. I think it is probably accentuated by the weight of the fabric and zipper. confirming what Alex said though, this wouldnt have been to do with the snap upgrade and i think it will settle as the fabric is worn and softens. Something for us to note in the future though, thank you

Enjoying the fabric in some nice sunlight

@AdamC thanks for looking into it! Not a big issue, just takes some extra effort to line up the snaps, but it helps me not be lazy so that’s nice:). Cheers!
-
@MSav32323 The snaps look great on this! Have you posted a photo showing off the entirety of the jacket with upgrades?
-
@Dagobah_Days yes, he posted several photos earlier in the thread.

Wanna say a big thank you to @Graham for the sizing advice on this, XL - LIKE A GLOVE. Also, what a jacket. Up to now my OD lefty has been my favourite IH piece but this may trump it, already thinking about what goes on the chopping block to get the black version while they are still available
-
@DeeDee85 I believe we are about the same size in shirts, would love a fit pic since I am eyeing this jacket too
-
@SKT @FlavourFade thanks guys, and here you go, some quick bedroom pics. Seriously though if you are on the fence about one of these just get one ordered, you will not be disappointed. One of the heaviest green bags I’ve yet had the pleasure to open.
For reference this is an XL, I’m 5 foot 10 and usually wear XXL in almost everything IH other than UHF’s which I go with XXXL in. The only other XL piece I have is a sateen m65.
