IHJ-119-BLU - 14oz Heavy Herringbone Work Jacket - Blue

Here are some post soak photos. I did not take measurements but I would guess I lost .5" or more in length. It was pretty loose presoak and now it fits nice and trim. I can post fit pics another time.

@Oaktavia sick jacket dude. Will look killer with those new IH sneakers!!

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yeah buddy I have been on lighter shade brain lately. Although I usually have dark denim on still.

@Oaktavia really looking forward to seeing how this ages.. there’s a couple left on IH Germany in my size at a huge discount but I’m still on the fence about it

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 I was able to find one on ebay for the same price IHG has them for. I don't plan to wear this one hard yet. Eventually I will. Just other jackets in line first. 100% recommended, as with everything IH, it blew my expectations out of the water when it arrived. Just be aware it's raw.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia thank you for the info, they do have my usual type iii size and one above so I should be covered.. did you size up one to allow for shrinkage or go with your usual type iii size? My logic for buying is that it’s half the price of the upcoming Kersey work jacket, the same cut, still a (very) interesting fabric and a colour I don’t really have in my rotation. Just can’t sell the wife on the big back logo but I’ve grown to really like it.

@DeeDee85 I sized up to XXL, if it wasn't raw I would have gone with XL. My washer goes super hot to 150F so I relied on that. I wasn't keen on the logo at first either but now I really quite like it. It's my favorite part of the jacket.

@Oaktavia that is so bad ass man. Love the jacket and how it turned out.

[DeeDee85]

I’ll let you know if I make my mind up

It changed in appearance quite a bit after it shrank. I'm super happy.

Right on man, 175 is a steal

[Oaktavia]

Starting to break in and mold nicely. This jacket starting out raw really makes it custom fit. Loving it.

@Oaktavia yeah, that fit really is great on you! I was amazed by the heft of this fabric when I tried it on in Hamburg. I hope they run something similar sans logo someday..

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 I imagine they will, Herringbone is such an amazing fabric that IH does. I really love the logo but I'm a sucker for graphic art.

[T4920]

@Oaktavia got no issue with the logo itself, just prefer it on a tee than in a jacket, but it's all just personal preference of course!

Hope to see you put the fabric to work over the years, as you said, very few examples of it faded out there...

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 I'm just casually wearing it for now. I'll start to wear it hard probably in the next year or so.
